Bobcat forever they know we are ranked number 1 in the AP polls, they just believe the AP polls are a joke and that those voters mainly go off records.

In all seriousness I don’t know much about either team. I know CAL is having a down year, but was this supposed to be a down year for them? All we heard about in Bell County when the new realignment came out is that CAL would be the clear cut favorite because they had every body coming back this year. Colt can you help me out on this one?

CAL could absolutely win Friday night, and run the table. They did lose to Mercer, and I don't want to take anything away from Mercer, but CAL has been dealing with some injuries. I can't state enough for you who aren't familiar with both teams due to us being new to 3A, but I could imagine some of our old 2A buddies can back me up when I say this is a pretty intense rivalry. I've said it before, mutual respect, mutual dislike. We have been each other's thorn in the side. In the last five years, we won two state titles, they won two state titles. DeSales is considered the blue collar hard nosed team from the South End, CAL the white collar elites from the East end. You kind of have to be a little familiar with Louisville to get the reference, but you get the jest of it. A few years ago some students from CAL put a picture of our guys coming out of the sewers to come over to their east end palace. That's the kind of rivalry this game is.
