Tanner Bratton also had a very good game for Johnson Central. I look for Bratton to become more of a factor offensively in the playoffs. He played well against Highlands both as a sophomore and as a junior. Last night, Matney seemed to go to him more to give Jude a breather. I think that Ousley also ran the ball a little more than usual.

Based on last night's performance by Hamilton, I wonder if we might see JK Hall line up in a different position in some situations? The Golden Eagles are at least three deep at quarterback, and Hall is a key player on defense. Maybe Matney will start resting JK some on offense so that he will have a little more left for late game situations. That would make Bell's tactic of running Hall to the end zone to cover a receiver every early game play less effective.
