I feel NCC has played a tougher schedule then Russellville. LCC has a chance to win this game.

[RoShamBo]

I'm glad to see Russellville doing well. They are in good shape to make the title game which would be huge for that historically great program.

[Glory_Days]

I respectfully disagree on the strength of schedule.

NCC was blown out by the 2 good teams they played (Beechwood could do similiar to Russellville).
They beat a decent 4A Holmes.
Lost to 6A Campbell Co who finished 1-10 (tough schedule though)

Russellville gave Glasgow a good game in defeat.
Beat a good 4A Logan Co team.
Beat a solid 4A Franklin-Simpson.
Beat a decent 4A Warren East, nearly running clock.
The 2 Crittenden Co wins are better than NCC's next best win.

Although NCC has a reputable tradition and Russellville is prone to stupid mistakes & penalties, I'll take Russellville by 10+ at home. They have a solid run game with dynamic speed. The defense is good against the run and the secondary creates INTs with the capablility of big returns. A much larger margin wouldn't shock me if Russellville limits their penalties.

Glasgow rushed for 441 yards on Russellville. NCC has a chance and Raceland fans are praying for a NCC win.

[Hambley]

Raceland needs a NCC win to avoid a smack down next week at Pikeville..

Glasgow rushed for 441 yards on Russellville. NCC has a chance and Raceland fans are praying for a NCC win.

I’m not even going to deny that I am cheering for NCC in this one because home game after Thanksgiving doesn’t sound bad at all.

I wouldn’t read much into the Campbell County game. If that game wasn’t week one different result. As for the Beechwood game pretty sure they would put the smack down on any team in 1A and most other teams in the state.
The 5th year senior rule is a competitive advantage for some schools for sure. 

Just hoping for a very competitive game and injury free game for all players.

Game Day!

Glasgow has a strong rushing attack with a nice O-line. I don't see NCC having that kind of running game as it appears they move the ball mostly through the air.
It's high school football..... so yes, NCC has a chance. My prediction was 10+, not running clock
