It looks like neither team is playing much defense, and Pulaski has the more high powered offense. Pulaski by at least 14.

This is a Southwestern team loaded with talent. I think they are playing well below their potential. It seems to me it's the mental mistakes when the heat is on. They move the ball 98 yards against Danville and don't score. They mount drives and are stopped at least four times inside the ten against Mercer. Most of these kids have too much experience to make these mistakes. It's sad to watch so many work so hard and come up short. Still they're three and two. I think Southwestern is still in charge of their own destiny. I believe they have the physical ability, the question is whats inside the team as a whole. They had better be properly motivated Friday or it will be a long trip home. If they are, look out.

Southwestern left at least four freshmen home that get varsity time. Also some Sophmores. No one on the field gets varsity time. In a game like this they should have took some of those freshmen and sophmores. Boyle is strong this year and could have won this game without the officials. The officials were terrible.

Offense is great but defense wins titles. It sounds like no one has any. This had to have been a real thriller though.

My hats off to Lincoln County, they made it a better game than the score indicated. Take away three or four big plays and it's a tie game. No one dominated any one. I think Lincoln County eager to prove a few people wrong shocked a bunch of overconfident egos in the first half. Then when the second half started the Warriors finally took to the field. If Lincoln County had any receivers that could hold onto the passes, they would have racked up several points. Their quarterback was on target enough and receivers open enough. It just seemed Southwestern played a lot more defense than offense. Kidd seemed to have a great game on defense for Southwestern. It wasn't the same Southwestern team that played Mercer last week. Let's hope that bunch will be at the Dunbar game.

Lincoln County dosen't have the running game Mercer does, or the passing game South Laurel does. I don't think they will be able to run the ball much on Southwestern. The question is can they pass on Southwestern. Southwestern has had four in a row on the road, the last three against strong opponents. This is the first home game of the year for Southwestern. Southwestern big in this one.

Number 12 for Southwestern fumbled twice inside the five and another time inside the ten. They also threw an interception or two, one lead to a Mercer TD. Maybe they will meet again in the playoffs.

Mercer wasn't as strong as I thought. Southwestern beat themselves, it's that simple. Southwestern fans left more disgusted than disappointed. Mercer does have some good backs though and a good running game. They made some really strong runs around the outside for big gains. Southwestern had trouble containing. It was a good old fashion hard hitting game fun to watch. I would like to see a rematch. Four times in the red zone and Southwestern don't score, three fumbles inside the five. Enough said.

Southwestern has trouble with their pass defense. That's how Danville and South Laurel hurt them. As I understand it Mercer is mostly a running offense. Southwestern is better at run defense. This should keep the score lower. I am looking forward to this one.

This should be a low scoreing game won or lost in the trenches.

Titles are won with defense.
