JC and Belfry have similarities, but also vast differences.

JC does some things which will give HC some big problems:
- They are very deep and limit their 2-way players
- They have the size and strength to match up with HC's Oline, but also have a defense with the team speed and quickness similar to Belfry to create problems
- JC has possibly one of the top 2 or 3 kickers in the state and play pretty sound special teams


On the contrary, JC also has some aspects I think matches up better for HC than Belfry:
- JC has very good backs, but they do not have the quickness as Belfry or run with the precision. JC is more power (similar to Bell) whereas Belfry is more finesse.

- JC's Fullback is good, but he is not the game changer that Hatfield is that forces the entire defense to account for him.

There are going to be some snot bubbles next Friday. These teams have a lot of similarities. Just my humble opinion but Belcher from JC is the best HB in EKY. His ability to break tackles and get yards after contact will be the key to a JC win. For HC it is going to be all about Bailey at QB. Traditionally JC is very tough in the middle but have vulnerability outside and in the secondary. Cole Wilson is also a huge factor if he plays or not.

If Wilson plays:
Harlan County 26
Johnson Central 24

If Wilson does not play:
Johnson Central 28
Harlan County 20
