5A #8 Southwestern (5-3) at Pulaski County (3-6) Stream: Lake Cumberland Sports Radio: Lake Cumberland Sports We have a huge district rivalry matchup on Friday. On paper, these two teams are as far apart as they have been in the last decade. However, a rivalry matchup brings in a lot of weird variables. Can Pulaski pull off the upset on their home turf? Or does Southwestern clinch a third-straight district title.

Everyone despises the RPI until it has their team number one lol

It’s a complete night and day difference. One of the stranger teams to watch in the state IMO. With that being said, this is TC’s best win by far.

Called it!* *Blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while

Scott County. Bold prediction: RC cola.

Unforgettable win or loss depending on what side you were on…

Final.

Bizarre call here

Southwestern PCC St. X North Laurel East Carter

1-4 may legitimately be within 7 points of each other.

I have watched both of these teams play this season and man do they have a lot of similarities. Starting with history, both teams are coming off of respective region titles. Next, SW runs the ball 75% of the time whilst Franklin County runs the ball a comparable 69%. Furthermore, Southwestern has scored 34.6 PPG compared to the Flyers 34.0 PPG. By the eye test, these teams are strikingly similar in size, strength, and speed. While it may come by different means, both teams are going to try to do the same thing; out-physical the competitor. The vibe (if you will) of both squads is indistinguishable. The difference, in my opinion, lies in the defense. Franklin County's defense has been very, very good all season, while the Warriors D took a few weeks to get settled. I'm not sure who wins this game, but it should catapult the victor into the remainder of district play and into the playoffs. This is a huge RPI game for both teams and I cannot wait for Friday night.

This game will indeed be streamed on Lakecumberlandsports.com and Lake Cumberland Sports on Facebook.

You took care of the four names I would think of. But, as far as exceeding expectations, I would go with these two: Caverna (First District win since 2015*) Rockcastle County (6-1 with a win over Bell County) *I think

North Laurel has not beaten Pulaski County since 2009. This season, the Jaguars are bigger, stronger, and more experienced than the Maroons. Along with that, the North Laurel defense has looked excellent all year. However, they haven’t faced an offense quite like Pulaski thus far. The issue in this game lies in whether or not the NL can score. Their offense has been lackluster all season and they will need to have a big week to end the streak of 11-straight losses to PC. I’ll take the Jags in a close one—but I wouldn’t be surprised by a result in the other direction.

Eagles roll in a district 7 matchup.

This result really surprised me.

SW up two scores in the first. They are throwing it around a bit.

Don’t call it a comeback!

Hometown Live Radio (Facebook) has streamed Danville home games in the past, so that would be a good place to look for a stream.

Double piggyback because Thursday games are weird.

As many have mentioned before, offenses are evolving to more complex, veritable schemes. Along with that, there is a large diversity of offenses in the state now regardless of what region/district you are in. Even as recently as a decade ago, there were entire regions that ran plays exclusively out of the wishbone/flexbone (triple option, etc.). Now, you would be hard pressed to find a district where offenses are consolidated. For example, Week 1 your team may primarily play the spread, Week 2 the wishbone, Week 3 the flexbone, Week 4 the pistol with an H back, etc. It's difficult to adjust to the variety with only four days of practice; especially in schools with lower numbers where many guys play both ways. In my opinion, that is the biggest contributor to higher scores.
