To the best of my recollection Somerset hasn't won a game in Northern Kentucky since 1983 vs Newport Central Catholic in 1983. Until they do I just can't pick them. Beechwood 17-7.

Bunnies are strong defensively, but the young Qb. must settle in if the bunnies are to have a chance. The power run game looked good against Williamsburg after struggling with the passing game. The young gun at Qb. must stop throwing into double and triple coverage, he was picked at least twice and the first passing Td. was nearly picked. Once the ground game started gaining steam the passing game seemed to come to life for the bunnies. If and it's a big if the ground game clicks, the Jumpers by 3, If not, long trip home for the Jumpers.

Agreed about Sheron. He's got a lot of talent for a Sophomore, but unfortunately is still making some Sophomore mistakes. A big thing that will help Sheron moving forward is when Grundy and him get their timing right.
Another big key for this game is Somerset's pass defense. The front 7 are solid, but Williamsburg kind of picked on the secondary last week. Either way I think this game will be low scoring. If Somerset can defend the pass and establish an offensive rhythm, I like the Jumpers 14-10. If not, I think the Tigers take it something to the tune of 24-7.

What are you basing this on? Beechwood breezed through 1A last year, Somerset wasn't as good as they are this year (my opinion, granted), and it wasn't a blowout then.

My point was Beechwood has world-beater status this year. I didn't say it would be a blowout, it wouldn't be the most intriguing game in the the state to me if I thought it was going to be a blowout. I wish I could watch this game. Do you have a link to the Somerset radio station that will carry it?

It's 96.1 FM in Somerset.

Grundy left the game vs. Williamsburg. I'd say his status for this one is going to be in question. He definitely presents a different look if he plays.

Gotcha. I guess the way I read it the first time I thought you were implying that Somerset wasn't on tier with the top 1A teams, which based on last year's results and the returning players, I dont think is the case. But I have to say that us getting beat by two TDs or more wouldn't necessarily surprise me. Northern Kentucky has not been friendly to the Jumpers over the past 15 years or so.
To your point though, based on what has unfolded so far this season, I definitely don't think Beechwood is the clear favorite in 1A like they were like last year. Pikeville, Raceland and maybe even Hazard all appear to have teams that can compete with Beechwood.

Somerset has strong line play. If they can get any offense going they will be tough for anybody to beat.
