I believe the story coming into this game is defense, Harlan County picked up 2 victories which were impressive IMO, I mean the 15-14 win over Perry Central which is good this year and had a run to the Class 5A Semi-Finals last year and the double-overtime victory over North Laurel, which both teams did not let the spectators down as that would be a really good game. Bell County has not had impressive games yet when you look at the scores between Bell and Harlan County. Bell's only loss was a out-of-state team that won the state over there a number of years. Once again I'm not taking anything from Bell County. This will be a good game I believe but I'm still for Harlan County.
