Thoughts?

[Patriot1]

This could be a good game but I am going with Shelby Valley

[pirateforlife]

This will likely determine the 1 seed in the district which will mean they’d avoid the 1 seed from their sister district in playoffs which will probably be Breathitt. Loser would likely go to Breathitt in round 2 of playoffs. A lot of stake in this one. I think Martin County keeps it close for a half and SV pulls away late 3rd/early 4th to win by 14.

[More Cowbell]

HUGE game this week.  The past 3 years, this matchup has determined who would get the #2 seed behind West Carter.  Shelby Valley was the victor in 2019 and 2020, with Martin winning last year.  In all 3 years, the winning team in the regular season won again in a playoff rematch.

However, with West Carter down a bit, this game has even bigger stakes.  Whoever wins this Thursday will likely be the district winner, especially if it is Valley.  That would mean at least 2 home playoff games and avoiding Breathitt County in those games.

As for my prediction?  I'm going with the Wildcats.  These 2 teams may have identical records, but I believe Valley's schedule has been tougher and will have them better prepared for this matchup.  Martin will keep it close, but SV wins in the end by a couple touchdowns.

Halftime

[More Cowbell]

What a game! This has been full of momentum swings. Martin takes advantage of a SV interception and a fumbled kickoff to take a 21-0 lead, then Valley comes back with the help of 2 onside kick recoveries.

Tied at halftime, looks like we’re in for a wild second half.
