6A #7 Simon Kenton vs. 1A #1 Beechwood

6A #7 Simon Kenton (5-1) hosts 1A #1 Beechwood (3-2) after a 38-9 defeat by 5A #6 Highlands. Beechwood is coming off a 63-6 defeat of 2A Covington Holy Cross. Last year Simon Kenton defeated Beechwood 22-14. Who wins?

This is an interesting game to pick. SK will be bigger up front, which usually gives BW trouble, but the BW speed may be too much for SK. I like the Tigers here, but SK has always rebounded well after a tough loss so nothing will surprise me.

100% depends how many of the injured SK guys recover from the Highlands game. 4 for 5 critical players went out agaibst the Birds. Will be a good game if they’re back. BW rolls SK if not.

Beechwood has no business playing with SK if SK is the program some claim them to be.

Not sure SK will be bigger up front. Beechwood has 4 lineman who have now been starting for three years. They have two lineman that have committed to D1 schools. Derry is 6’3” 270 and Dayton Baugh is 6’4” 265. Duncan Baugh is 6’4” 220. I expect a good game. Beechwood will have to contain the QB and keep him from running all over and make him be a passer.

SK is big up front but thr difference is Beechwood plays both ways.

Homecoming game for SK.

Should be a pretty good game. I wouldn’t be surprised if either team wins.

I understand why you say this, but Beechwood is not your typical 1A school. The only 6A schools that would be clear favorites to beat Beechwood are Male, Scott County, Douglass and Trinity. I would make Butler a slight favorite over Beechwood. The rest of the top ten would be a pick'em. That is how I see this game versus Simon Kenton.

Beechwood has some injuries?

If the Simon Kenton special teams figure into this game, they lose.

Pretty sure he is.

Special teams put SK in a big hole, in a hurry!
