Who wins this matchup in the Meijer/Roy Kidd Bowl played at Eastern Kentucky University?

I talked to some Boone coaches recently and they were very optimistic about their team this year. They didn't say anything specific about Southwestern but they definitely feel the Rebels will be much improved.

 

AJG, how do you think this SW teams compares with ones of the recent past?

Boone Co. 21-14.

If they are healthy this should be the best team that they have had since the 2006 team that lost in the regional finals. I understand that last year's starting quarterback is injured and will miss significant time and that will hurt. However, they received an influx of talent when some players that have sat out the last 2 seasons decided to come back out for their senior seasons. The players are part of their basketball team and very good athletes who should be able to step in and contribute. The Warriors had a sound defense last season that tended to wear down due to lack of depth as the game went along. They should be a lot deeper this season and should be the preseason pick to win their district--depending on how quickly Paul Raines gets Mercer's athletes to buy into his system and what happens with the quarterback situation at Southwestern.

SW and Mercer Co. are in different districts this year..

SW in a nail bitter 21-14

Whoops, forgot Mercer moved to 4A and was replaced by Madison Southern. I think Southwestern has to be seen as the clear favorite in their district.
