Corbin at McCreary Central
Where: McCreary Central
When: Thursday, 7:30
Records: McCreary 1-5,
Corbin 2-4
Series: Corbin 3-0
What to expect: The Redhounds have never lost to the Raiders in their three previous meetings and there is no reason to believe the host will pull an upset this time.
Who to Watch: The Raiders have a veteran team with seniors Noah Duncan, Seth Tucker, Josh Gregory, Rodney Winchester and Thad Ridner leading the way. However, the Raiders have given up 38 points per game and have only averaged 13 points a week in their first six games.
The victor: This should be an easy week for the Redhounds then they will prepare for another big test against the Bell County Bobcats. Corbin runs away with this game, 48-14.
Perry Central
Where: Whitley Co. High
When: Friday, 7:30
Records: Whitley Co. 4-2,
Perry Central 4-2
Series: Whitley Co. 6-2
What to expect: Perry Central has a high scoring team, averaging better that 36 points per game, but the Commodores have given up the same amount. So, the Colonels defense will be the key to this game. The Colonels have allowed an average of just under half of that total, 16 points a game.
Who to Watch: Quarterback Austin Pray is the big gun for the Commodores. In his last outing he hit on 7-of-11 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. His target has been brother, Nathan, who had four catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns against Rockcastle Co. The top rusher is #40, Kegan Robinson, who is averaging close to 100 yards a game.
The victor: If defense wins championships then the Colonels should win this game. No one has stopped Pray and Company, but the Colonels just might do the job in a 34-20 win.
Campbellsville
Where: Findlay Legion Field
When: Friday, 7:30
Records: Williamsburg, 5-1
Campbellsville 1-5
Series: Williamsburg 3-2
What to expect: The Eagles also give up a ton of points, 43.8 to be exact while the Yellow Jackets average 48.3. To say Williamsburg will not score a lot of points would be like saying the ocean is dry.
Who to Watch: Quarterback Zach Durham heads the Eagles offense, one that is very young. Campbellsville, under first-year coach Dale Estes has averaged 18.8 points a game. The Eagles got their first win last week when they edged the Paris Greyhounds, 37-30.
The victor: Williamsburg might have trouble with the Eagles speed, but will win easily, 54-28.
