[The College One]

OK guys, Lets hear your predictions who will take it home this year. I have been hearing different teams so whats your pick?

[DEVILOLOGIST]

GOSH AW MIGHTY You know it is going to be


MERGER CO. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The College One]

Hey I know im not bragging but hey there could be that team that could squeak bye and beat mercer and or russell lol but dont be hatin im getting the feel from everyone you know but more than likely it will be Mercer

[JFLDAD]

Mercer will have one bad game and ruin their shot...Russell back to back:1: Boyle almost came away with W

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Thanks for the vote of confidence JFLDAD,, my post's sometimes get Russell fans stirrrrred up.....Glad to see you are still awake.

[pillsburythrowboy]

Merger County. But would like to see Belfry do it.

[DEVILOLOGIST]

Belfry wont get there. sorry....

[two color blue]

Mercer might have the best team, but I think Belfry has a good shot at it, Russel at home. Can't hint about the recruiting or they will lock it out.

[Getum-Choppin]

I like a Mercer-Russell championship. I don't know but I cant help to feel like Western will knock off Mercer in the region. Western has the atheletes to beat Mercer. Not saying they will but Western has as much speed as anyone in the state.
Going out on a limb and for this and saying Lou. Western will be your 2a state champion. We all know it never happens the way we figure and just as sure as we all pick Mercer they wont even be there. Fort Campbell was picked last year by about every expert there is to breeze 2a and they found theirselves in the stands watching Russell dominate it. Lou. Western wins 2a this year.

[Getum-Choppin]

Probably will be Mercer/Russell but just as easy could be Western/Belfry.

[LovetheBucs]

I think Caldwell Co. has an outside chance at making it out of the Eest and Breathitt Co. has a outside chance of coming out of the East.

Obviously as of now it looks like this:

West - 1) Mercer Co. 2) Western
East - 1) Russell 2) Belfry

[DEVIL89]

I See Someone Knocking Out Mercer Somewhere In The Playoffs But If They Can't Then Mercer Is State Champs. If By Luck That Someone Does Knock Them Out Then I Say The Winner Of Belfry/russell Will Be Champs Again And Keep The Title In The Eastern Part Of The State.

That's what I have been telling everybody...:thumpsup: :devilflam

[TRAIN85]

i dont really see anyone knocking off mercer, they are too talented.

[Sarrr]

Belfry

Sure, Russell stayed in the game against Ashland longer, but Belfry has improved miles since then.

I don't think Mercer will be able to stop the ground games of either team though, nor will Western. I also believe that the east teams have enough speed to stop the west offences.

We'll see in what, 10 weeks?

[DEVIL89]

I just believe that when it comes to 2a for the state that the eastern part of the state has the strongest teams. It must just be the line-them-up-and-play-smashmouth-football style of play. That is why it seems to be a Belfry/Russell semi.

[t-cat50]

mercer co. for sure

[Poseidon]

Mercer County

[RHS 08]

Russell Back 2 Back

[SCS_0855]

I believe that Belfry and Russell meet in the semis again with Russell winning that game plus taking the Championship home for the second year in a row.

[LovetheBucs]

I agree with Devils89

The western side of the state isn't ready for smashmouth football. That being said, Merger Co. might be an exception (as is Corbin).

I guess I HOPE Russell or Belfry can get the job done.

I love this Belfry team. They have 1 big play guy and a lot of heart otherwise. I don't think this years team is as good as last years, but Russell also appears to be slightly down compared to last season.

I don't care who makes it from the East, as long as we make it 5 in a row!

[NYY10]

Russell

Corbin is not Western IMO. The Western Ky. teams have to be more balanced to win their respective regions, and the eastern Kentucky teams can get away with just being one demintional IMO. When the teams meet in Louisville, the western Ky. teams are not great in one area of defense, but are good at all areas, thus they usually give up alot of yards against a team that has done nothing but run for 15+ weeks.

[KLH]

Belfry is as good as last year & dont be surprised if their not better by playoffs.
I think it will be the winner of Belfry & Russell.

[CAM2006]

If Belfry and Russell make it to the semi I think it's better than a state game. But I have got to go with belfry

[The College One]

Ok so the choices are Belfry, Russell, Louisville Western, Mercer. anything else?

[BlackcatAlum]

Mercer over either Belfry, Russel, or Middlesboro

[The College One]

Middlesboro havent heard of them in a while how are those guys doing down there?

[BlackcatAlum]

Middlesboro havent heard of them in a while how are those guys doing down there?

They have a great one two punch with QB Trevor Hoskins and RB Cornlius Ford !(Both are 1 Star players according to Scout.com)

[The College One]

thats good to hear about them good luck to middlesboro
