2 good teams but Somerset has had trouble on offense this year. The troubles continue this week and Whitley wins 26-7.

Jumpers gave up 24 pts to Breathitt co., a top 5 team in classes 1-3 IMO with a VERY explosive offense full of weapons and they give up 26 to Whitley? 26 points would be the greatest offensive output any team has had against the Jumpers all season, and that would also make Whitley only the SECOND team to break into double digits scoring on the jumpers (east jess 6 pts, SWHS 2 pts, Hazard 9 pts, Breathitt 24, Glasgow 0). On another note lets examine SHS's offense... Yes it is true that Lange will not be on the field on Friday, but there are still plenty of weapons to be successful. Somerset held the football for 36 minutes of clock time on Friday against Glasgow... They may not be putting up as many points as they have in the past, but it is a different type of philosophy offensively this year because of the make-up of the team. Somerset is one half of football away from being undefeated against a VERY challenging schedule, the second half of the Breathitt co. game was flat, but other than that they have done what they had to do to beat quality competition. I don't know who will win Friday, but I can say with confidence that Whitley will not put huge numbers up on Somersets score board. This will be a good ball game regardless.
