Much more will be known about the 3A playoffs after tonight's South Warren - Russellville game. If SW takes care of business, then I think gives them huge momentum going in to the playoffs. If SW struggles or loses, then it will be an interesting next few weeks. It's a typical late season quandary for teams with great records built on cupcake schedules. Are they that good or are opponents weak?

I know it sounds funny, but I think you'll find a lot out about a Pope-less Bourbon County team tonight. Clark County has played some close games with good opponents including being up on Boyle at the half, and beating a decent Tates Creek team. If the Colonels put up their usual running clock against GRC without Pope I would feel much better about the potential Belfry matchup if Pope is not able to come back.

If they play close or lose, they will absolutely have to have Pope back for Mason....
