[Bull got out!]

I was at Kroger field and watched both these teams the last time they played in the championship game. PT lost to Kentucky Mr. Football Isaac Dixon and Legendary Coach Phillip Haywood. Franklin County upset the defending state champions Johnson Central at Johnson Central and was looking to capture the 4A State Championship and on a last play to the endzone a pass was deflected to a receiver that ultimately sealed the deal for Boyle County and Justin Haddix first State Championship and ring. So this year, Class 4A will have a new champion. Paducah Tilghman no doubt will be the heavy favorite being ranked at the top of a lot of polls last week in the state as the number 1 team in Kentucky. Coming off a close game in Round 4 last season against Covington Catholic and bringing back most of the team. No doubt they were going to be a team to be reckoned with. Franklin County has just been solid and playing old school football and tuff defense. They beat Covington Catholic who upset the States top team Boyle County. Looking at this matchup for Friday, I look for Eddie James to slow down the clock and make this a low scoring game. If that is the case Franklin County may disrupt the high powered offense of PT. Paducah Tilghman on the other hand will look to smother the run game of Franklin County and get out to a quick lead. If PT can get in front it may be hard to catch them. PT has only been down 1 time at Halftime to Corbin Friday and came out and scored 21 points to seal the deal. Franklin County just keeps grinding away at you and if its a close game, they are never out of it because of defense. I have watched alot of Franklin County games over the last 5 -7 years and make no mistake about it, They are a team you dread to see in game 4 or the finals. Im am a fan of Class 4A Football and wish both these teams the best of luck this weekend. Its been a fun year.
