Boyle is battle tested and has played some tough competition all year long.  Central’s D was impressive.  They were a big, physical team and right up there with Bowling Green/Henderson as far as what Boyle has seen this season.  Central beat Franklin Co 24-0 at Franklin a little over a month ago & Franklin just went toe to toe with Corbin in Corbin until the very end of the game.  I would say Boyle’s D is on a completely different level than what Corbin has seen all year.  And they have been a different team since Hardwick has come back & have had their way the last 2 games against 2 very good Lexington Catholic and Louisville Central teams.  Add in the fact that this is 4 trips in a row now for the seniors, and all Boyle’s kids have been there except the freshmen and Quisenberry that’s a huge advantage for Boyle.  Corbin’s last trip was 2018.  If Boyle plays their game and doesn’t turn it over/get a bunch of stupid penalties they are going to be tough to beat.  I look for a great game, not for the faint of heart but in the end I think Boyle’s too much.  I’ll take BC by 2 scores
