Who wins this match-up Friday evening in Mt. Vernon? Thoughts and predictions.

Rockcastle wins 35 to 13.

Maroons have lots of offense and will handle the Rock much as they have the last 2 years. Rock can stay with them for half but then wears down and game is over. It will be closer than last year because Pulaski is missing a couple of key players. Pulaski 28 Rock 14.

Pulaski will win but Rock will put up a fight. Maroons will win 24-14.

This game depends on how much Rock wants it and how well they defend against the pass. If the defense pressures the PC QB and the secondary steps up and plays ball then Rock should be OK. If Rock comes out dead and plays lethargic defense then it will be up to PC to take it. I don't see Rock coming out dead though after getting beat at home two years ago in the last six minutes and getting thumped last year. I hope the Rock players remember getting their butts handed to them last year in Somerset and use that as motivation.

Pulaski has struggled stopping the run and is not very physical. Rowe is one of the best running backs in the state and Rockcastle will hit you. I think Pulaski can score on Rockcastle as well but I don't think they can score enough. I'll take the Rockets at home 35-28.

I like Rock in a High Scoring game. 42-28.
