Past Playoff Meetings

2007 - Bowling Green 27 John Hardin 23

2009 - John Hardin 28 Bowling Green 21

This should be the best game in the entire state next weekend and the Purples win by 9, let's call it 33-24.

BG 24-14. Beechwood-Mayfield will also be interesting.

Ill take Bowling Green in this one by atleast 2 posessions good luck to the dawgs and Coach Brown though.

Should be a good one.. John Hardin has a good offense and should keep BG on their toes. I'm going with BG at home by 3 points even though their kicking game is not as good as years past.

Bowling Green 21-17.

It should help Bowling Green facing 2 straight identical offenses (Rogers at WC is a Brown disciple). When playiing the wing T familiarity is key.

 

I will say BG 35- JH 14.

Although both teams run the wing-t, they are far from identical. Warren Central utilizes the jet series far more often than JH, but they do it well. I do think that JH has a much more potent offense though...

Will there be a live video stream for this game? Link?

Two quality programs...two quality staffs...tons of talented players. This should once again be a game neither team deserves to lose. The Purples get stronger in the second half, and that will be the difference maker...barely!

I say it will be a close game...I think the Purples will win, but, I think it will come down to the last seconds of the game.....maybe our first overtime game of the year?....It will be one of those games where the winner will not be able to be predicted until the game ends.

 

Now, I hope I am wrong because I HATE the anxiety that comes with close games like that.

 

Good luck to both teams, coaches and fans!!!!

 

BG wins 35 - 28

 

Their experience (coaches and players) this far in the playoffs is the difference.

Two quality programs...two quality staffs...tons of talented players. This should once again be a game neither team deserves to lose. The Purples get stronger in the second half, and that will be the difference maker...barely!

I have to agree. The only real difference I can see between these two teams is the way they play the 2nd half. BG gets more done than JH in the later stretch of the game.
