Obliviously, you've not been following 5A region 1 district 8 football. If you had been following then you'd know this is a HUGH game for Harlan County, see district 8 is in a 3 way tie, so they'll be using the tie breaking point system. Harlan County MUST win this game in order to win their district, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible for Harlan County to win that district if they lose this game. I'm not real sure on that, but I do know if HCC wins this, they'll win their district. So, with that being said you will see the starters for HCC playing in this game.

Well Chunky, I said that before I knew how the tie-breaker worked. I DO follow the district, so calm down. I also said later in the thread that if thats how the tie-breaker works, then its definitely a huge game for Harlan County. I never said HC wouldn't play their starters, just that the teams would probably remove the starters once the game is no longer in question. Which I still think will happen, obviously.

That said, I think Harlan County hangs around for a while from the motivation for a top seed in the district, but Bell County will take over and win the game pretty handily. Just too tough of a situation for the Black Bears to have to win in order to be the top seed in the district. They've played great this year and will still be ready for the playoffs.

Bell County: 35
Harlan County: 13
