Past Playoff Meetings

2004 - Scott County 35 Boone County 14

I predict a quick game. There won't be many skins flying through the air this Friday night unless you count kicks and punts.

 

I think Scott wins by a minimum 2-3 scores.

Still concerned that they gave up35 points and a quarter mile of passing to Ballard, but I am going with Scott.

I've never been sold on Scott County.

 

I've got Boone.

The Ballard game and final score gives me plenty of reason to doubt Scott County. Maybe they're better than I think they are, but I'm from Missouri.

 

Boone's playing great defensively, and really have been pretty solid since starting district play 0-2.

 

I'd like to pick the Rebels, but can't do it. I think it comes down to what they can do offensively, and I'm not sold on BC on that side of the ball at all. Nice players, no game changers.

 

BTW, help me out with a couple questions; who is Boone's defensive coordinator? How long has he been there? And, what years has Boone played in the state finals (I've got 86, 87, and 94 what year am I missing)?

You're missing the 3-0 loss to St. X in 1992.

I picked Boone based on the difference between Central and Northern KY football. We will see.

I am going with the Northern Kentucky team in this one. It seems that Boone has really turned a corner and are playing very well. Good luck to the Rebels!

 

Boone 23

Scott 20

Except for Ballard SC has only given up 2 TDs in any game, and in the Ballard game they were with out there 2 best defencive players the entire game and lost 2 more to penalties. If SC is healthy on defence SC wins 40 to 14.

Defense wins, right? Well, this is probably a game that will tell us how true that is. Boone County has one of the best defensive teams around. Outside of last Friday's Highlands game, Cov Cath's high powered balanced offense struggled more against Boone Co. than any other team they played. However, Boone's offense consistently struggles. I predict Boone will hold Scott to their lowest point total of the year but it won't be good enough for the win. Scott 28 Boone 14.

I tend to agree with VOR, although I'm envisioning a closer game, Scott 20, Boone 14.
