The Rebels hit to road to take on the 1 seed from District 6, Boyd County. Boyd County enters the game at 8-3 winners of their last 4 in a row including last weeks 41-14 win over Anderson County in the first round. Boyle enters at 9-2 and beat Rowan County 49-0 last Friday night to advance to this game. Comparing common opponents Rowan and Anderson counties Boyd needed OT to beat Rowan 14-7 on Oct 21 and Boyle beat Anderson 36-0 on Oct 14. This is the first meeting between the 2 schools. The general consensus is that Boyle should roll in this one but can the long road trip and/or looking ahead to a potential rematch with Lex Cath next week cause Boyle’s season to end earlier than anyone anticipated?
Rowan County travels to Boyle County for a first round playoff matchup. Boyle is 8-2 while Rowan enters at 4-6. This will be the first on field meeting between these programs. Rowan was supposed to come to Boyle in the 2020 playoffs but had to forfeit due to Covid. Last week Boyle fell to Frederick Douglass 37-6 while Rowan lost to Montgomery County 36-26. Who do you got and by how much?
They’re impressive. I’ve seen a lot of high school football and it takes a lot for a team to really impress me. 2022 Frederick Douglass….I am impressed. That is a damn good football team. They have size, they have speed, they have pure athleticism and most importantly they have discipline to go with it.
