Listen I'm a North guy, but I try to be realistic to. I hope for, and will be pulling for, a win Friday. But based on what the teams have done so far, and based on North's last two games, I am not optimistic. A North win isn't out of the question, they can move the football on the ground, which chews up clock and limits possessions for Whitley's good offense. But they have to put points on the board with those drives, and they have to eliminate so many crucial penalties at critical times, it cost them the Harlan Co. game. I'm afraid I'll go with Whitley 27-14.

How good is North's pass defense? Will Whitley County have to throw the ball?
