Thoughts on this district matchup?

[Warrior Grandpa]

Can't count anybody completely out, but Knox wins going away.Clay seems to be really struggling after opening the season with high hopes.

Knox Central 30
Clay County 14

District match-ups are always wild. If Knox utilizes their gameplan, they have the starters out at halftime. If not, could be a dog fight.

[E's Army]

Make that a cat fight. Panthers by 18.

[Pantherfan59]

If Barger comes back, Knox becomes dangerous again. Right now they seem to be one dimensional. Run, run, run, pass. With Barger in the mix, a throw on first down becomes feasible. Keeps defenses on their toes. Once that happens, Knox can have fun with their play-calling and the Knox defense will be able to play much looser.

[panther nation]

Barger will not play in this game, that's already been determined by his doctor. He might be back in 2 more weeks.

Knox Central 42
Clay County 13

I normally don't like to pick against clay county....Just sayin. :poker face:

[Pantherfan59]

Last year, injuries killed Knox. Hopefully that won't be the case this year. Knox has so much depth it isnt even funny. The problem Knox has is finding a way to effectively use that depth. A good problem to have, but a daunting task for any coaching staff. With barger, they are elite. Without, they'll still get the job done.

I agree the injury bug killed the panthers last year. Without Barger coach Russell needs to still mix his plays up more. He is getting predictable in his play calling. Ever team know without Barger it will be run,run, pass, and punt. The panthers have plenty of WRs to use and who have good hands not to use them the way they should be used.

I need to make this clear, I did vote for Clay in the poll vote...Just sayin 1 vote hh:

If you get beat down by Leslie Co in football there's a problem.

If Clay watched the Whitley county game they figured out the recipe for defeating Knox Central. Spread the field out, use a mobile QB to challenge the tackling skills of the Central linebackers.

Trust me they will be addressed today in film study.

[Pantherfan59]

Very true. Film will be brutal. Whitley shouldn't have had a shot in that game. You can't neat Harlan 35-8 and then squeak by Whitley 33-28. The panthers that played Harlan county need to show up Friday.

[Pantherfan59]

Beat*

[JeanClaudeVanGraham]

With Barger not playing it could be closer but I still think Knox Central wins with ease and a running clock

[kcfan#1]

Knox hopefully mixes the play calling in this one to help them in the long run but still win by at least 3 TDS either way...
Knox 35 Clay 7


WE ARE KC!!!

[topnotch]

K C by 21

[panther nation]

If the same KC shows up that played Harlan county it should be a running clock by half. But if the same one that played the last 2 weeks it could be a whole lot closer than the panthers want it to be.

I have no clue what you are talking about panther nation.....I only said Whitley county had a shot against Knox Central...nicker:

[insideinfo]

Knox does not have 10 passing attempts for the game, and wins big.

[E's Army]

Panthers will manhandle Tigers up front.

[panther nation]

^^
I don't think that there is a team in the distict that can match up with the size that the panthers have up front and depth on the line either..
Clay will get a heavy dose of Mills and Johnson all night. Wouldn't be surprised if KC only throws the ball 3-5 times if they throw it that many..

[geauxtigers75]

Watched both teams, Clay has regressed since they beat Perry, Knox has improved. That said, Knox wins this one easily.

What school do you pull for?? Have you seen Leslie play this season? A very solid team.

[panther nation]

What has happen to clay this year? I thought they would been a contender for district this year. I know they have had a few injuries.
