Bowling Green/ Anderson updates

WideRight05 Wrote:First off, you can't compare scores between teams. I can't really use us as an example because were undefeated, but for example, looking to EKY, think of JC, Belfry, and Ashland. Ashland beat Johnson Central pretty handily, JC beat Belfry, so should Ashland beat Belfry? Well, they didn't. Belfry owned them. FS did not play well against WC, and honestly should have given them a better game than what they did.

Think back to 2005. Bowling Green had this big bad defense that shut out seven straight opponents and did not allow more than 14 points in a game all year - until Lexington Catholic took a big dump on them, putting up 49 points on BG in the final. They have had several years similar to this, but this is the year I think of the most because of how "dominant" their defense was. This happens every year with BG. They're always big and bad, until Highlands or somebody shuts them up in the state finals. Fortunately for them, they didn't have an opponent of that caliber to play in the finals this year.

I don't want to compare scores, but honestly, what do we have to go on as it pertains to this year other than what we can see with our eyes (which you simply discount)? All you're doing is referencing results from other years even though there is overwhelming evidence that this Purple team is far superior to the teams you're comparing them to. Go look at that 2005 schedule. Following the St. X game in the season opener, what teams did Bowling Green play of high calibar? Yes, they put up impressive numbers, but the result was not all that surprising when they got there. Fast forward to this year, and they have played a very good schedule and they're still posting those numbers. They've throttled teams that were good that don't have your respect, and then they've gone and beaten teams I would think do have your respect, like Lexington Catholic and St. X. They put up comparable results against LexCath to what Highlands did three weeks apart. But that doesn't mean as much to you as something that happened last year against Christian County or what happened in 2005-2007 for Bowling Green.

And on a personal note to the WC/Franklin-Simpson game, I had that argument on another site and certainly, I would expect the game to be better if they played today. I'm merely saying that given what I saw there, I expected a team like Highlands to run them. You did too judging by your predictions.
