[Old24]

Do not overlook Boyle, they have only 3 defeats, Highlands (Best in 4A), John Hardin (in my opinion the best in 5A) and Lexington Catholic (I was there and the game could have went either way).

[papagrit]

Lexington Catholic will win the region championship over Boyle.
I would be really shocked if this is not the outcome. I really don't see the Boyle-Knox game being that good honestly. I have seen both teams and Boyle is head and shoulders above Knox IMO

I think you are talking about the Knox Central/ West Jessamine Game? That was at Lexington Catholic early on in that bowl? I would be shocked too if Knox Central played that way, for them to win against Boyle. I doubt you've seen them lately. They now can open up a empty backfield five receiver set that is pretty potent. They also have a couple of pretty decent running backs that are shifty now. Knox Central is a completely different team than the one that was at that bowl. I also attended those games and saw Lexington Catholic get beat by a very very good John Hardin team. LexCath really came out swinging after the first possesion or two and didn't lay down. But Knox, who was pretty lethargic in the game before, doesn't look anything like they did in bowl game now. They will give Boyle a run for their money if everyone is healthy for them.

[rustyankle]

It pains me to say it but I want Knox to win thst game and Rock to win so the rock can get revenge

[Poseidon]

So this is it??

Round 1

LexCath / Clay Co. @ LC

Russell / Mercer @ RC

Boyle / Knox C. @ BC

Rock / Marion @ RC


Is this correct?

I get a feeling that the Knox\Boyle game could go wither way. But I hope the Rebels prove me wrong.

[Jack Lambert]

Mercer @ Russell Co
Mercer had some bad games early on, but they are dangerous. The Lakers don't need to look ahead. We have a game against neighboring Adair Co that I wouldn't even bother planning for. I'd start coaching for the Mercer game now. This is the first hosted playoff game we've had that I'm aware of.

Marion @ Rock
Rock should move on with no problem. Their defense is setup perfect to match up against the Marion running game.

Clay @ LexCath
LexCath

Knox @ Boyle
This could be the best 1st round game since the expanded playoffs. Boyle's offense is not as good as can typically be expected from Boyle, and the Panthers have the ability to keep the score down. Boyle's defense has been good and improved throughout the year, but KC may have more offensive weapons than Boyle has seen since their first game of the year. I also don't expect the Boyle home field to be that big of deal, because the Panthers will feed off of the atmosphere. This may be the biggest opportunity for an upset in the games between these two districts. Even if Boyle does win, then they will have a road date with another tough match up the next week......the path for Boyle will not be easy.

I can't agree i would say John Hardin,and Lexington Catholic both would have more weapons than Knox.on offense.Boyle's defense is good enough to play with any 4a team,and thier offense is improving weekly.i think we'll see another Boyle - Lexington catholic matchup this season.

Knox has come a long way since the beginning of the year. I don't think they are anywhere as good as JH, but Barger is a respectable QB and they have a number of receivers that can make big plays. They also have 3 really good running backs. I agree with your assessment of Boyle Co, and can't argue that the odds are in favor of a Boyle - LC matchup, but I think everyone agrees that the path won't be as easy as the last two years. IMO, our two districts combine for 5 of the top 10 teams in 4A.

[Jack Lambert]

I will agree the road will be tougher this year for Boyle.I think if last years Boyle team was playing this years scheduel they would be undefeated at this point in the season.I watched last years Boyle Lex cath regular season game on ihigh the other night,and this years Boyle team is just not in the same class as last years team.no offense to my Rebels but we lost a ton of talent and leadership off last years team.i thought before the season started Boyle would be at that level of play this year,but it was unfair of me to think that.I'll have to say though that they're improving with leaps and bounds every week.

Boyle already showed they can not stop Highlands offense and I do not think they can stop Cov Cath either. And I do not recall how many pts Lex Cath put up on them, but they beat them. So the above bolded is not true.

I think Boyle's defense has grown considerably since the first game of the year when they played Highlands. Lexcath beat us by one long pass play with a few minutes left in the game. Just because Highlands defense didn't do so great against Cov Cath doesn't mean the rebels wouldn't match up against them.
I've noticed you make it a point to take a jab at Boyle every chance you get, or you make some sort of Highlands comment when someone barely utters the name Boyle County. Yes, they have a younger team than usual this season, but they have a great program with great coaches who know how to get the most out of the talent they have. At this point, I don't think the 4a trophy is a lock. I think we have a great bracket with a lot of talented teams this year. Should make for some great games.

The reason highlands scored 35 on Boyle, was because Boyle's offense.couldn't finish drives at that point in the season.our defense was on the field way to long and yes highlands wore them out.that being said highlands is the favorite to win 4a,but not a lock.in closing it's fans like you that make people across the state dislike highlands so much.it's fine to be confident in your team,and maybe a little cocky,but you take it past arrogant.i hope highlands does lose maybe you will learn how to be some what humble.

A Highlands fan can't make any comment with out you and others saying they are arrogant. I did not make the comment about Boyle being able to stop any 4A team; am I not allowed to respond to it. I was not just giving credit to Highlands. I also said that I thought Cov Cath would not have problems moving the ball agianst them. And pointed out that Lex Cath was able to move the ball enough to beat them. Where is the arrogance in that? I never said Boyle is not a good team and actually have always said it is a great program. I was glad HHS moved to 4A because I thought it would give HHS better competition. It is no secret that Boyle is down a little this year compared to the last couple, what do you want me to do, lie and say I think they beat Lex Cath in a rematch and destroy HHS and CCH just to not upset you? The reason HHS put up 35 pts is because they have an excellent offense (they actually left 14-21 pts on the field). I am sure Boyle has improved from that game,but so too has HHS. I felt we should have beat Boyle by 35 if we played with out silly mistakes. Do you really think Boyle has improved more than HHS to go from a 3 TD lose (and a kneel down to end the game) to a victory over them? I would say if you think so, that your post are more delusional, than mine are arrogant. Highlands was in total control of the Boyle game, and I am arrogant because I predict we would beat them agian? The real reason people hate Highlands is that the are a perenial winner and people always hate teams on top (unless it is yours).People always like to see the top dog fall.

Not taking jabs at Boyle at all. It is probably hard to hear people make comments about Boyle not being top dog after the last couple of years, but that is just opinions on current state of teams this year and not jabs. They have a great program and are just in a down year (by Boyle standards) . Even in a "down" year I put them in the top 5 in 4A. Having played Western (who is suppose to be tops out of the west), shows that Boyle is still a top team. Boyle would destroy Western. Never said Highlands has a lock on the title. I think they are a huge favorite, but if they do not come to play, I think Cov Cath could beat them. I think Lex Cath has a very small chance to beat them. I do not think Boyle can beat them; is that arrogant? I do not think so, I am just stating my opinion from the games I have seen.

[Jack Lambert]

You and others get mad every time a HHS fan posts something about our team and say we are hijacking your posts. Go back and look, there were six post on here about Highlands (#11,12,15,19,28,36) before any HHS fan made a post about the birds. So, my comments and any other comments about Highlands on this thread are appropriate since others brought it up. If you do not what to hear my opinions or others, than do not get on a discussion site. My team is a 4A team and I watch and read about all the 4A teams. This is a thread about 4A teams and all teams in 4A would be appropriate to discuss in regards to the playoffs.

Here is the Eastern half of the 4A bracket. This is assuming that CovCath beats Homes today.[Image: http://www.bluegrassrivals.com/forum/pic...tureid=356]

is this for sure?

The only thing that could possibly change would be Rock and Russell trade places, and I can't figure out how that would happen. So, I'm 99.9% it's accurate.

I don't get mad i just get tired of hearing about how mighty Highlands is gonna blow everyone in 4a out,and how they have no competition,and how superior they are to everyone else in thier class.If we have to put up with you guys at least tone your arrogance down to where it's bearable.there are other good teams in 4a other than your Birds.

[horst muhlmann]

i think Bowling Green will show us how good LexCath is.

Do the knights play the purples this weekend?

[Score Now!]

Understandably so, but they'll have to make it through some good teams. IF the Lakers get past Mercer, we have 18 INTs on the year (by 9 different players), and Bolin has been prone to throw a few. So, even though we'd be a huge underdog, I like our chances. But Mercer may prove to be a tough test.

LOL:biglmao: Russell County has played NO ONE that throws the ball like LexCath does. Bolin has 22 TDs to only 7 Int's. RC has in no way seen the speed that LexCath will put on the field. Good Luck to all!

[FBfan4life]

Some of you Lex Cath fans are forgetting that you barely beat Bell in a game that they really should have beaten you all.
You all did beat Boyle.
This Knox team could have done the same as you all did against Bell if they play to there potential. I think it could be a great game.

Im sure we will know more after Whitley plays Boyle Friday. Knox is better than Whitley and if Whitley competes then id be worried if i was Boyle.

You are using a barometer that happened the first few weeks of the season. Can I say the same thing about Knox that they BARELY beat a West Jessime team that only has 1 win for the season????? What's that tell you about Knox if you beat a team with 1 win all year and you beat them by 7pts, I believe..

[FBfan4life]

So let me get this right we should bypass the playoffs and let Lexington catholic and Highlands play in championship?? Atleast that's the vibe I getting from some posts

Do you read much brother??? Other that lexcathknight15. No one else is looking ahead on this. I see a lot of talk of Knox, Boyle..

[laker20]

Through 8 games.
Player School Gms Att Cmp Int Yds TD P-GM
Kyle Bolin Lex. Catholic 8 214 126 6 1932 20 242
Barton Mann Russell County 8 84 42 2 819 10 102

Bolin with 20TDs/1932 yards on 214 attempts is avg a TD for every 10.7 attempts and 9.02 yards per attempt, and .3 Int/Td

Mann with 10 TDs/819 yards on 84 attempts is avg a TD for every 8.4 attempts and 9.75 yards per attempt, and .2 Int/TD.

So, Bolin is the Dominant QB on the field? I'm not so sure, but I do have to give him credit for doing this with little to no run support, and against a somewhat tougher schedule.

We both have business to attend to first, but given the chance to make the trip to LexCath, when the Knights take the field with all that speed, they will be the slower of the two teams. From what I've seen, Bolin's football knowledge is far superior to his skills. He's a good QB, but not even comparable to Towles, and could actually be the lesser of the two QBs on the field that night.

If we can keep from making any unforced mistakes and win the turnover battle, then we have a chance of pulling the upset.

Laker, you are usually right on the money IMO on this board.

However stats are misleading from truth sometimes.

Do you really believe that Mann is a better QB and prospect than Bolin? How many schools are looking at Mann and how many are looking at Bolin?

I remember when Boyle played Rockastle and Anderkelin (?). He had great stats as a QB. But when he faced the Boyle defense he threw a ton of interceptions and had terrible games both years.

Stats are great but Bolin has played vs. John Hardin, Bell County, Lafayette, & Boyle to get those numbers.

Mann has played vs. Rockastle, Knox Central, and the rest of the schedule of .500 or losing teams.

:Thumbs:
