If you would've asked me before the season who I thought was the two favorites to win 2A district 8, I would've said that it would've came down to this game Friday night. It still may, but the gap that was there between these two teams and everyone else in the district last year has closed dramatically. Prestonsburg and Martin County are right there with these two teams this year, IMO.

I think West Carter's offense is just good enough to compliment their defense to control and win this game. Shelby Valley has been wildly inconsistent almost every game and they struggle with physical teams. I think they've really missed Lincoln Billiter so far this season. Hopefully that guy can get back healthy soon.

Should be a good game and it honestly wouldn't surprise me to see Shelby Valley come away with the win, but IMO they'll need to put together their most complete game of the season to do so.

Comets win, 28-18.
