About what I expected.  I figured CC would score a couple. And if I had to guess the last one was on the JV? Congrats Johnson central. And not bad clay co.  NO TD is easy on the eagles.

Johnson Central dominated the vast majority of the game. The Tigers made it competitive for a second at 35-20. All scores were during Varsity action, to the best of my knowledge. I’ve said it before but that early loss to North will benefit the Golden Eagles. They’re a machine. I think the Tigers showed flashes that outside of teams like JC (Top 6-7 teams), they can play with anyone.

Clay is exactly where they were last year, 4-2. Last year they finished at 5-6.  Will this season be different?

I think that they have a decent shot at finishing the regular season at 8-2 and better than 50/50 chance of finishing 7-3. The only team that has scored more against Johnson Central this year was Ironton and they had a D-1 quarterback, a  D-1 receiver, and a 4-star D-1 running back. Perry County struggled to beat Perry County Central tonight, and Letcher County Central has given up a lot of points this season.

Johnson Central was in control of this game from early in the 2nd quarter but the score was respectable until the 4th quarter. I suspect that Clay County just got worn down late in the game and Clay County will not face another team as deep as JC before the playoffs.
