Hardin County Preps

John Hardin is coming into this game off of a 13-10 loss to Taylor County. The bulldogs have now lost six in a row after opening the season 2-0. John Hardin led this game 10-0 at halftime. John Hardin penalties in the second half at key moments proved to be costly, as Taylor County outscored the Bulldogs 13=0 in the second half enroute to the victory. The Bulldogs must face an Elizabethtown Team (6-2), coming off of a commanding victory over Metcalfe County, 50-6. The Panthers have won five in a row with their only losses to undefeated LaRue County and a close loss to Bardstown at the beginning of the season. Elizabethtown used a pair of defensive touchdowns on an interception return and a fumble recovery for scores Friday night. They are a team getting better as the season progresses. I just don't see the Bulldogs keeping this one close. My Prediction: Elizabethtown 42 John Hardin 14

In a 56-0 loss, Central Hardin's defense allowed 187 yards passing and 160 yards rushing Friday night enroute to their eighth loss on the season at South Warren. To date, they have given up a record 347 point vs only 20 points scored. If they lose their remaining 2 games, they will post the worst season in the 36 year history of this school. Meanwhile, Meade County pasted Daviess County 41-6. Central Hardin struggled and lost to this same Daviess County Team several weeks ago, 21-20. While I won't breach the topic in this forum, sometimes you have to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if this is the direction you want this program going. Prediction: Meade County 38 Central Hardin 0

Glasgow in a close one.

You know what you will get with North Hardin. They will have the best athletes in the county but are undisciplined and make a ton of mistakes.

Saint X wins this matchup, 28-14

The Cardinals Travel to Bulldog stadium to take on John Hardin (2-5), Friday night. John Hardin comes off of a bye week and a blowout loss to Bethlehem, 41-7. A game in which they were dominated on both sides of the ball by a very solid 1A program. Bethlehem rushed for 147 yards led by RB Jalen Del Valle with 15 carries for 111 yards. They passed for 189 yards led by Michael Crigler 76 yards receiving. Taylor County comes into this game after a bye week, with a loss to Nelson County 37-0. Taylor County (3-4), is led by QB Zach Benedict who has passed for 716 yards on the season. His leading receiver is Jaelyn Anderson 356 yards on 26 receptions. On paper, these two teams appear to be evenly matched. Whomever wins the turnover battle will probably prevail. John Hardin's P/PK Ashton Russell has a strong leg and can routinely punt the ball 40 plus yards. He could also determine the outcome of this game with his ability to kick FG from 40 plus yards out. My Prediction: John Hardin rebounds this week with a close victory, 24-21 over Taylor County.

This will be a running clock possibly in the first quarter, Will be hard to watch, therefore I won't!

looked like a recovery out of bounds by the Broncos?

Madison Central is going to have a hard time running on the Broncos.

Frederick Douglas at Madison Central this Friday is a titanic 6A top 5 matchup and will determine who wins the district. I might have to see this one on a bye week for most Hardin County teams.

I was throughly impressed with Bethlhem Friday night at John Hardin. They are well coaches, tackle well, and execute the offense with precision. Could be a formidable matchup for any of the top 4 teams come playoff time
