Boyle may not be as strong as usual but they would still be at home and having to play there would not be the preferred route. They would be favored against any of the 3 teams.

I agree, that Boyle will be the favorite regardless of the opponent our district produces, and home field advantage for Boyle is harder to overcome than a lot of other home fields in the state. But all three of these teams have the potential to pull the upset. Boyle doesn't have the best passing game, and both Rock and Knox are really strong against the run. Russell Co. has the ability to produce points by the bunches, and has one of the best punters/kickers in the state. So, we can usually afford to give up a few more yards without giving up the points. In 2009 we lost to Lone Oak and in 2010 we almost upset ACS, both went on to the finals to loose to Boyle.

It should turn out to be a really good game, and one of the best in the 1st round.,,,it won't be like they're playing Bourbon Co for a third year in a row.
