Nice Post AP! I welcome you to BGR as well. I love it and hope you do too!

As for Western Ky schools. I myself would like to see more teams from western Ky in the mid-upper classes compete for the titles. Who is the real deal out west in 3A? Paducah Tilghman or Central (they haven't competed in a long time.)? Is Bowling Green for real? They weren't in 2005.

Many times throughout the season I've looked across the Bluegrass and thought are these teams really any good? Because I don't know, no one on BGR is talking about these teams. I hope you can help change that.

I support Russell and only Russell. You won't see me rooting for anyone else unless I chose them on the Pick 'em.

How about a Bowling Green vs Russell game at the Recreation Bowl, whaddaya say? Good luck! :p :turnbad:

I'd say a B.G V Russell game would be a great game. I don't know a lot about Russell only that year in and year out they always seem to be right up there with the big boys and could play with any team in the state. About Bowling green, I think they are a very balanced team. They have a 3 year starter in Quarterback Trent Steelman. He's only about 5' 10 or he could play in college. He has a good arm and has a 6"6 receiver in D.L. Moore and 6"6 tight end Ryan Wallace (the Coaches son ). Between them they have about 20 D-1 offers from the likes of Stanford,Colorado, South Carolina, Kentucky, and many more. Steve Spurrier and some coaches from Colorado were at practice Thursday and at the John Hardin game last Friday night. Their running back / linebacker Jared Carpenter just signed with Northwestern. We have great players at the skill positions and If they play up to their potential I think they will give Highlands all they want. If they make it that far. We have to get by Owensbore this week and they have one of the beat defenses in the state. As for Tilghman and Central I think Central will win that one fairly easily. Tilghman had a weak schedule and Central had a monster schedule. The way Central played Highlands (leading 13-0 going into the fourth quarter) and losing 21-13 tells me Central is the real deal. By the way Warren East is from bowling green and if we both win Friday we will have 2 teams from the same town in the finals. We're trying to do that Danville / Boyle County thing. Maybe someday bowling green will be known as Titletown.
