RC and KC have played three common opponents (three very bad teams that little can be deduced from) with like results. The rest of RC's schedule is very poor with their biggest win against a average Whitley team. The rest of KC's schedule is against three Tn teams I will not pretend to know anything about, Harlan and JC (two teams better than anyone RC has played). With a better strength of schedue and home field advantage, I will take KC to win by 10.

Knox Central.

Yes you did say that, but you also have been wrong a lot this year so I don't hold much stock in any of your picks but we will know the answer come Friday night

Tell me some of the things ive been wrong on?
Most of my pics have been dead on when it comes to this area.

[RunItUpTheGut]

An as I thought no respect from you!!! It's a shame that you haven't given KC any respect this year at all, even after we beat Harlan county then they turn around a whip Whitley but still no respect so I would even bet when we beat Russell you still want have any respect for the panther. But that's ok we will just keep on doing our thing an when its all said an done you may not like us but you damn sure will have to RESPECT us for now on!!!!:redboxer:

This is not a thread about Whitley.
I never said Whitley would beat KC..

Im a realist buddy, I know were a very average team. Im surprised weve played as well as we have. Were still another two or three years away.

KC is a good football team. But there not as good as the people in Bville would like you to believe. There definitley the top team in the tri county area, probably for the first time ever and are having a good year.
This game will be a close one, but I believe Russell County is to much. There the type of team i could see beating a Lex Cath and Boyle to make it to Highlands in the semis.
I cannot say that about KC. Too one dimensional, and if Canady goes down, the whole season would be lost.

Ill stick to my pick. As for respect, you have my respect, but i also have an opinion like everyone else, and my opinion is Russell County is better.

Well here's one thing you've been wrong on:

Whitley County 34
Harlan County 30

District Champs.

Couldn't resist :truestory:

[HDE]

I had Knox Central last spring when everyone said Russell County had to be the favorite in the district.
I'll stick with Knox Central, 27-14.

While i did pick WC in the prediction thread, because i always do, refer to this prediction i made over a month ago...

My thoughts have changed a little bit about district 7, however, my thoughts on district 8 hasnt.

For district 7, I believe Madison Southern, North Laurel, and Pulaski County are locks for a playoff spot. That last spot is still up for grabs. IMO, all three teams left are pretty even, and its going to be really hard to guess at what team will grab that four spot.

As for district 8, I believe Harlan County is still the favorites. Whitley appears to be better than Perry, and it wouldn't susrpsie me a bit to see Perry throw a wrinkle in things and knock off either of the two. I expect Letcher to bring up the rear while there having a rebuilding year.

This is an even year, so district 8 has the oppertunity to host the regional final.

Games to watch out for:

District 7
October 12th- North Laurel @ Madison Southern
This could be for your district championship. Both teams have struggled in years past, but seem to be at the top of the district, along with Pulaski County to capture the crown.

October 5th- Pulaski County @ Madison Southern
Like the game above, this could very well be for the district championship, should North fall to both teams. Madison Southern having both top contenders at home, could seal the deal for them.

September 27th- Pulaski County @ North Laurel
This could mean a home playoff game for these two. Chances are a first round game at home will be a big deal because going on the road to a district 8 team could mean an early exit.

October 5th- South Laurel @ Lincoln County
This could be a do or die game for a 4 seed. IMO, could be the most important game of the year for both schools.


District 8
October 12th- Whitley County @ Harlan County
This may be a district championship game, and should be a good one at that. Both teams come in pretty even with the same game plan....run the ball. As long as Perry doesnt have anything to say about the whole district championship thing...

October 19th- Harlan County @ Perry County
Going to Perry is no easy task. Your usually down two TD's when you step off the bus, and Pray and company will have there minds set on ruining Harlan County's year after HC diminished there hopes of a district title last year.

October 5th- Perry County @ Whitley County
In both teams district opener, a loss will not due. This game could either catapult one team or completely destroy anothers chances at a home playoff game. In a 4 teams district, games count just as much as they do in a 6 or 7 team district. Huge matchup in this one.



My Predictions

District 7
1. Madison Southern
2. North Laurel
3. Pulaski County
4. South Laurel

District 8
1. Harlan County
2. Whitley County
3. Perry County Central
4. Letcher County Central

If thats the case, then the playoffs would go as followed...

4. Letcher County Central @ 1. Madison Southern
3. Pulaski County @ 2. Whitley County

4. South Laurel @ 1. Harlan County
3. Perry County Central @ 2. North Laurel

My prediction....

Madison Southern over Letcher County Central
Whitley County over Pulaski County
Perry County Central over North Laurel
Harlan County over South Laurel


Semis
2. Whitley County @ 1. Madison Southern
3. Perry County Central @ 1. Harlan County

My prediction....

Whitley County over Madison Southern
Harlan County over Perry County Central

Region Championship
2. Whitley County @ 1. Harlan County

Whitley returns to Harlan County for the regional final, after losing to HC in the regular season.

My Prediction.....


Wait and see.....:biggrin:

I wasn't wrong. Read above.

I wasn't wrong. Read above.

So what your saying is that you hedge your bets. You guess both ways so when your wrong you can say you were still right by using the other post?

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
No.
People will pick the teams they root for no matter who there playing in the prediction threads.
Some people would go as far as predicting Phelps to blow out Trinity.

It means nothing.

The post above shows what i really think, and is the prediction i made months ago.

However, this is a KC/HC thread, lets get back to topic.

[panther nation]

When you run the ball as good as KC does you don't have to throw the ball that much that's why Barger has only 27 catches, but when they look to throw he is the number one target but don't for get last year Canady was the main receiver. The passing game is actually better this year cause they have more than one threat that can beat you deep at any time or on a quick slant, so don't think they can't pass the ball cause they can they just haven't had to lean on Evans arm like they did last year.

[panther nation]

How about the 400 yards rushing WC was going to put on clay county! An how Knox couldn't play with Harlan county??? Wrong on both of those

[panther nation]

I cannot say that about KC. Too one dimensional, and if Canady goes down, the whole season would be lost.

.

If Canady was to go down yes it would hurt but all would not be lost Gist is a very good back as just as much as dangerous as Canady. Don't forget about Barger,Evans, and Cole all are very dangerous. An as far as one dimensional your crazy ask any team that's played us if you just key on just Canady your asking for trouble just too many other weapons to use to be one dimensional. What would you say about Russell if they where to lose Britt? Who else do they have that can step up an run the ball?

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
Say what you want, if Canady goes down, its over, and theres no way you could compete with higher level competetion anyhow.

Im not sure why youd get so worked up when the inevitable is Lex Cath and then Highlands, neither of which you can win.

Russell County will win this game.

With the way our defense is playing I wouldn't count them out in a game with Lex Cath I think our BD's would match up great with them an they have already proved that your not going to run all over them just ask Harlan county, as far as highlands goes yea your right the only team in the state that can beat them IMO is trinity

[laker20]

IMO the big difference in this one is for KC this is the game of the year because of last season's loss to RC......for RC this is another game to get to their game of the year because they overlooked Mercer Co in the playoffs and never got to LC last season. If Russell Co executes the way they are capable of, then there is the opportunity to have at least 3 games much bigger than this......Knox just happens to be the opponent on the schedule this week.

I'd love nothing more to see a rematch of this game at Russell Co for the regional championship, but I'd settle just for the regional championship game at Russell Co.

[Avery Bullock]

Panthers by 2 points.

Russell County is a terrific team but somebody has to lose this one.

As far as the three Tennessee teams that KC has played this year...

Karns is 1-8 on the year... KC should have routed them.

Gatlinburg-Pittman is 4-4.

Clinton is 2-6.

Not exactly a gauntlet of tough opponents but KC should make the regional final this year.

[ballboy]

Two very good teams here and it will come down to who can hang on to the pigskin friday night turnovers will be the difference, Knox and Russell may see each other again in a few weeks, I like Knox County in a very close game 22-20. But it could go either way.

Panthers by 2 points.

Somebody will lose and all advantages go to Knox with the biggest being that it is at home. They have also played a tougher schedule both home and away, and are playing up the revenge factor. Russell has nothing on their side so obviously it should be a blow-out:worthy:worthy:

[BelfryPirates]

I'll take Knox Central 20-14.

[insideinfo]

If Canady and Britt both went down Knox Central wins big . Knox Central has used Canady as a decoy all year. Britts one miss tackle from a touchdown everytime he touches it, I just don't think Russell can replace that.

Britt doesn't play defense. Isn't Canady one of the leading defensive players on Knox's team?? Doesn't that add to the conversation?

[PreacherVol71]

^
I disagree...yes Britt is impossible to replace...but Russell has shown that they have many more weapons than just Britt. Mann is going to be playing college next year( already getting offers), Ellis is probably the best overall athelete on our team and although he doesn't have Britt's moves he is just as fast.

[daybowbow]

I'm really getting sick of how all of Knox's fans have become experts on Russell Co. all of a sudden. Note to insideinfo, Russell Co. scored 50 points in the first half against Clay, guess how many of those came from Nick Britt...

Clay threw the towell in weeks ago. and you guys started Canady being a oneman show. I just said what i seen on Film you cannot replace Britt,

Good point, I didn't think about him playing defense.This were he being recruited at.

[Flag_football_stud]

Russell county is unbeatable their kicker is by far best in the state

[JustGoWithIt]

Interesting game. Hopefully neither disappoint. Good luck to both teams!

But if Whitley had won you would have said you were right, because it was in the prediction thread.
It's so confusing.

I think you got on the Russell bandwagon because they beat up on Whitley.
