I think some people are still looking at the Highlands debacle and judging Boyle on that game too much. Boyle is in no way the same team people saw early. They have most of their injured players back, some key additions on both sides of the ball. Playing FD at home should also be an advantage. I am giving the nod to Boyle in this one , although most are rating it as a toss up.

No, but part of the team that put 55 on the board against Danville earlier in the year. Their fastest player and the middle school 100 meter champ has not played since pre season, but has recovered from surgery and will be ready for track and looking forward to next years FB season. Their QB and several other players have been out with injuries during the year and for the Somerset game. OK .

If Boyle wins out and that means they have to beat Frederick Douglas at home their final game. then they would be the number one seed in 4A.

You have no idea what you are wishing for. You don't see players like Driver and Tavy often, but Boye has at least 5 Div 1 prospects on this years freshman team alone, then add in some good sophs and a really talented junior class with div 1 players, plus many other very good players that always develop under Haddix. Danville has a few good players and just remember those players leaving Boyle coming to play for the Ads did so because they could not start there. It is easy to get excited with wins until you really look at the quality of the teams you are beating. Shawnee, Caverna, Southern etc.

Boyle has a stretch of three games in a row where the JV and Freshmen will see more action than the varsity. The good part of this is that they should be able to heal any injuries, bumps and bruises for their stretch run in November/ December. The Rebels are starting to put it all together at the right time as we saw in the game at St. X on Friday. Nobody is looking forward to playing them from here on to the finals.

He is a great kid, great team mate and just a tough aggressive football player. Puts out 100% on every play in practice and during the games.

Good thing about the weather that it is the same for both teams.

No and he shouldn't have been. A Ballard player also was guilty of a similar penalty that no one has even mentioned.

Yes, he will lay them down gently after the sack or tackle and say sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Not a good time to play Boyle. Ballard plays a tough schedule, but in watching practice this week, I couldn't believe how hard the Rebels were going at each other, especially in this hot weather.

More evenly matched than loaded.

To people that have never won anything it might not. To those who expect to win every year it is known as tradition and pride.

Like it or not. The rest of 4A knows that they have to go thru Boyle County to win come December. They also they know that they will see a totally different team on the field from what we saw on Friday. You can go thru all the feel good scenarios you want to, but in the end it all comes down to how good you can compete against the team that has won 5 out of the last 6 years and the coach responsible.

Not only is Seneca a D1 commit, he is listed as a 5 Star recruit. He makes such a difference on both sides of the ball. Boyle will be around in December to take on the best of the rest. Boyle was missing some other key players last night as well as the QB not at full strength.

Boyle is a total different animal with Driver back on offense and defense. Then you have the other players that didn't play because of injuries, a healthy QB with this extra week off and the sting of a loss make the Rebels a very difficult opponent from here on thru the championship.
