Thinking I can merge both sides.

In a way, the Knox fan is right in that you root for a rival when they play someone outside the area or district (I can pick on my brother but no one else better). I have more roots at Harlan Independent than Harlan County, but I root for the Bears when playing anyone else, especially this Friday, as they play the underdog role against Bell (Bobcat fans are much more cocky - Harlan Co. fans are right about that). I picked HC 9-1 (granted I thought then they would beat Pulaski and lose to Bell) with a regional title pre-season, and I'll stick by that.

On the other hand, Bear fans are right if you are going to use scores to predict (as the Knox fan did). HC rocked Clay, KC barely won against Clay and played Bell close. Not sure you should count grids, but those would favor HC being competitive this Friday too.
