I agree with most of what you said. Both teams have had remarkable seasons to this point, but right now they're both 0-0 with a whole new season starting.

The way it currently looks is that the district may be decided Friday, but Knox Central has the tools and time to put everything together and be a serious contender.

Russell Co's performance last night was definitely off on the offensive side, with only 200 yards or so of total offense. However, the defense played really strong in a game plan similar to Rock's against PCC. We kept pressure on the QB and forced him to make quick decisions causing several turn overs. We better have it working on O and D come Friday or we will be in for a long night.

I really think this game will be decided by two factors: 1) The passing game 2) Turnovers. Whichever team can establish the passing game and protect the ball will win, and it could honestly be large either way.

We may have a slight advantage in a close game because we have had a few games that were close in the 2nd half.

Win or loose, I expect to leave Mt. Vernon having seen a great football game.
