The questions that will obviously be answered Friday Night are these questions that I've been wondering all week which are, "Can Southwestern stop all phases of Harlan Co.'s rushing attack? Can they stop the traps and the blasts? Or, if Coach Larkey puts Brewer in the Shotgun and spreads them out, can they stop Brewer without eight men in the box? And, perhaps the biggest question is, if they show that they are capable of stopping the run early, can they do it for the entire game?" Harlan Co. puts so much pressure on the defense because they have so many weapons running the football with McMillian, Middleton, Brewer, and Chorak that you just can't take a play off AND you have to have depth at defensive line.

When I look at this game, I'm sure Southwestern will come out with a ton of intensity and excitement. However, I'm not so sure that they can endure that pounding all night from Harlan Co.'s offensive line, and at the same time, play turnover-free football. It's a strength and endurance test against Harlan Co. and I'm not sure anybody in Class 5A besides maybe Bowling Green can meet the challenge.

I'll take Harlan Co. in another step toward the Class 5A Championship game 45-14.

You do make very good points but, Southwestern has just as any weapons on offense IMO. Harlan Co does have a very good offensive line but, I went to the 1st Rd game between Pulaski Co and Harlan Co and the Maroons basically shut them down, holding them to their lowest scoring total on the season, other than Bell Co. With this said, I think that Southwestern's defense is better than Pulaski's. So it should definitely be interesting how this game plays out. I really feel that Southwestern can win this game and Harlan can obviously win as well but, this game is going to be close either way it goes. Neither team is going to win this by more than two touchdowns.

I am going with the Warriors to win this hard fought game.

Southwestern - 28

Harlan Co. - 21
