first id say that the martin county vs shelby valley scrimmage was the dumbest thing ive seen this year. to scrimmage a team that you play in 3 weeks is dumb, but then to go play a real game format and waste one of your scrimmages in a scenario where you only get 20 offensive plays in.............. dumb.

with that said not a lot of defense was played. martin county is going to be a team that thumps who they should beat and struggles in close games unless they really focus on little things. that offensive line can win one on one battles up front but getting to the second level and making a block in a struggle for them. they dont play fundamental defense and their corners line up in track stances. shelby valley ran the ball at will a lot on them but to the credit of martin co they mostly tightened up in the red zone. the plus side for the cardinals is 23 is a dude

im not sure that hazard couldve looked worse friday night. they made bell co look like a million bucks. losing johnson seems to be a big loss because i dont see a lot of dudes on that team. quarterback was okay, looks to be a tough runner!

but with that said im still not sold on martin county to definitely win the game.... hazard can stay in it by keeping martin county off the field. not sure the bulldogs can stop the cardinals and i do feel more confident in martin county to break the big one, but one or two turnovers or bad penalties like they had in the scrimmage and hazard can play TOP ball and walk out a winner. especially if they catch martin county asleep and hit a deep ball or two.

if i had to put a betting line down, id say martin county -7.5. thats the closest ill get to a preidction
