Savage is out, gotta run up the middle!

Savage hurt.

Gotta score coming out of the half...

You think so? Verax has missed BADLY on most of his throws other than when he threw the long one on the run. I'd argue aside from that and being at our 10, their offense has struggled.

Its taken me all week, these teams on paper look super close and even similar. Past few years, we have come out flat at home playoff games, hopefully that gets worked out Friday. Looks like rain all game, so turnovers will tell the tale. Going to have to get the lead heading into the 3rd quarter, historically Douglass doesn't do well when trailing in the 4th. I think the defense gets it done. 21-14 Broncos.

Sounds like he has a destination already in mind. PRP perhaps? He's a young, motivated coach... Could benefit from Nino White's success at Atherton, with PRP being so downtrodden as of late. He would have a better potential talent pool than what Moore offers.

The ineptitude of the Louisville teams that Atherton has beat is incredible when you look at their schedule. The only teams that totally outclassed BG are UNDEFEATED and still playing! A team with immense success against cupcake teams, versus a team that tasted failure against several teams. I will take the battle tested group everytime! Notwithstanding, the coaching component! A coaching staff that has never tasted 4th round and title game cold, and nerves. A coaching staff experienced with semifinal strategy and state title triumph. Sorry, not sorry. BG 21, Atherton 7.

Balanced Woodford attack makes it three in a row over that antiquated offense. 52-35.

Corbin's offense won't get much traction against Highlands, and their defense was suspect when we played them. I think Highlands wins comfortably at home. 35-14.

Franklin Co. running clocks the Fighting Brock Roberts', in similar fashion to the Atherton loss. 56-14!

How does CovCath stop the 6'7 kid? I don't see it.

WAIT. So, does Manual give back the Wooden Barrel now??? Lol.

Scoring every which way against your "rivals" in the playoffs is an awesome way to win.

WHAT? NO WAY THE CRIMSONS CHOKED TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!!

Go Broncos!

Yes, great play by Lex Cath & Mashni... But the Western players are all standing straight up, and just watching instead of pursuing! Hard to watch as a varsity high school contest! AQObmYpodT5_jbDaUOY6193uQytlV0qTpvRpStNA97Kgv5urLKgphlXPm0rSqMyUiCrdh1r_15A7PTl_5L14MTIfWGmIVHwPqPH2fYYFrgppsg.mp4

Trap game... Jordan Haskins being the new QB should definitely inject some energy into the Defenders offensive plans though. Considering their only score in the regular season game was off a trick play, I still think Bryan Station will have a difficult path to the endzone. Their left tackle is almost a statue. I believe Lamonte Brown chases Haskins the entire game. 42-7 Douglass.

Welp.

He hasn't played previously this season? Or was he injured for a spell?

Absolutely! The last play should have been the 1st of the drive. WEB has minimal playoff experience and it showed.

Looking like the Lions might give this one up...

I don't know who Manual's Jeremy Presley is, but he had 258 rushing yards against Cooper. He didn't have any carries against Atherton or Frederick Douglass, so clearly Cooper didn't gameplan for him or his skill set. Atherton LOST. Cooper LOST. Their gameplans versus one another would be vastly different, as opposed to their Manual gameplan, and a running clock on a playoff saavy Cooper (by a team that only two years in on advancing past the 2nd round) is difficult to fathom. I don't follow Cooper, but wow I couldn't discount their playoff experience enough to say they get a RC.

If this was true, Atherton would have beaten Manual.
