Johnson Central v. Mason County

[EKY Sportster]

So how bad to you guys think JC will win this one by??

[EKY Sportster]

I'll say by 30 points!

[hoopster]

JC-56
Mason- 7

[IntheZone]

i say if might be a good game

[lpd826]

depends on the coach....if he see's he has an win in hand why not play the bench and let your starters rest up for the play-offs..if this happens mason might a couple of late TD's to shorten the gap.....JC 35 MC 24

[Big Daddy #78]

JC by a comfortable amount.

[EKY Sportster]

Never know about the final, because you don't know how long the JC starters will play. But I don't see a close game. JC hasn't had one yet, and they probably won't until well into the playoffs.

[Old School]

I think this will be a very close game. MC has had some close district games beating BC by 5 and GC by 7 and losing to Ashland by 7, but MC seems to be able to play up or down to their oppenents ability. MC record is 7-2 one lost was to Lafayette (9-0) they then beat Frankfort (7-2) which beat Danville (8-1) 33-13. MC has a solid defence only allowing 105 points in 9 games. No mistake about MC is a very solid team and if JC is not ready they could lose, as I have said before Coach Matney and his staff always have the eagles prepared.

[BlackcatAlum]

JC may come out and think they will win by 28 pts but I think Mason Co will surprise them in the 1st Half ! The rest is all JC !

JC--35
MC-14

[Meaty]

JC by 21

[Benchwarmer]

JC by 3 td's

[Gator]

This is by FAR the most dangerous game on the regular season schedule for JC, I think Mason Co. is catching them at the right time this year,a complete turnaround from last year when they got beat up on by a mad bunch of Eagles! An extremely long road trip and lack of respect for Mason could lead to a huge upset. Mason finds a way to win and hang in BIG Games, ask Rockcastle if you don't believe me. Don't overlook this team or it will be a long bus ride back.

[tomcatfan722000]

Mason is very talented and quick however i dont know if they can physically match JC But this is also a huge chance of a letdown for the eagles after a emotional victory i ask of JC to come prepared cause not to many teams get to run the table in district play and it is a great accomplishment also i am pulling for JC cause if they win then my cats get at least one homegame in the greatest stadium on earth and then hope they would maybe meat boyd in the second round and mason vs jc again in paintsville and just have a district 8 sweep of this region to return the favor of the butt kicking our district received last year as only one team made it out of the first round so with that said

JC-35

Mason-21

[UnderArmour24]

JC by 3+ TD's

[The Guru]

JC 28-7, maybe 28-14. If JC can roll up 40+ against Mason......Then I will say WOW!!

With the new playoff system that was put into place this year. Your first 2 rounds of the playoffs will be teams out of your own district. For instance if things play out as they should then your first round matchups will be:

Johnson Central vs Boyd Co.
Ashland vs Mason Co.

Then your 2nd round matchup obviously will be the winner of JC/BC and Ashland/MC.

[mike9345]

IM gonna say that this will be one of the best games that JC has been in all year, I will not make a prediction but I think it will be a good game because Mason County beat Frankfort which beat DANVILLE a powerhouse bad, also there going to be at Mason County and its a homefield adv., both playing for a home field playoff games stakes are high and anything could happen.. Good Luck EAGLES .....Goal since day one, district champs and home playoff game!!!!!!!!! not to mention 10-0!!!! Go get em' EAGLES

[Panther#42]

JC easily

[hillbilly]

JC by 3 TD

This Is A Terrible System Cause one districe could easily be better than the other and the teams that deserve to advance wouldn't advance i think distric 8 is far better than district 7 with the exception of maybe Rock so eith either jc ashland or mason will not advance as far as they should

[cougar14]

I was watching the weather forecast and it is showing rain for Thur, Fri, and Sat.. What condition is Mason County's field in? I understand that it was really bad this past Fri..(?)

[Getum-Choppin]

40-7 Johnson Central.

[EKY Sportster]

JC should win easily. But it goes without saying that they have to be prepared and ready. There can be no let down against Mason. But if JC brings their A game like they have all year, then they should win. And I would be very surprised if Matney allows anything but the A game to be played. Matney knows that each game requires the teams entire focus, whether it is a game you should win or could win. JC is clearly the better team, but they need to remember that Mason is every bit as good as any team they have played this year. Ashland didn't beat them by much. With that said, Matney will have the Eagles primed to complete their undfeated regular season!!

[All-American Lineman]

JC big time

[HSFootballFreak]

i have to go with jc huge! and this may be a bold statement but i see jc winning state this year, they are a powerhouse

[Keepnitreal]

I heard from one of the players that one of the coaches had to be taken off the practice field in an ambulance on Monday.....what happened? Is he OK?

[AHS86]

Mason should make a game of it they are a well coached team! the Ashland -JC game was 21-7 early in 4th quarter, I think mason will hang that long, and they can give JC fits if they have an answer for Grimm, he was the difference in the Ashland game IMO without Grimm JC is about even with Mason or Ashland!

[TRAIN85]

JC wins another game going away. Can we please get some competition for JC this year.

[HSFootballFreak]

im still stickin with my earlier opinion...jc wins state

[The College One]

JC is looking good this your more than likely going to thrash Mason by 4 or 5 touchdowns and possibly win state

Jc-56
Mason-6

[Whos next?]

from which team?

[Keepnitreal]

from which team?

Johnson Central

[finish it off_1]

JC should kill em..56-14

[Once King Now Prince]

No I DON'T THINK SO. Go ahead and worry about Grim, stop him. And JC will use the best fullback around in Blake Johnson and knock your heads off! Or JK's arm, or the bruiser halfback Chase Richardson! It doesn't matter, NO ONE CAN STOP THIS TEAM! Especially as long as their defense plays as well as they have all year.

One player doesn't put JC in a different category than Ashland and/or Mason, the whole team does. Matchup for matchup, no one in the region can matchup evenly.

Johnson Central may be at the top of the heap. But I am sure that Bell and Rockcastle Co will give them all they want in the post season.

[Kayaker]

The thought of JC having a letdown doesnt worry as much as Mason Co. matching their intensity. Johnson Centrals players and coaching staff know what is on the line with this game. You win, you have to possibility of playing at home all the way to Papa Johns Stadium considering the can make it that far. You lose, your on the road for nearly the entire playoffs. Mason as well has alot on the line. Lose, your probably playing on the road through the playoffs and win you may be district champs with home field throughout the playoffs.

With all that said, JC will come prepared for this game and will be ready to do battle with a tough Mason Co. team. The field conditions are going to be bad so I wouldnt expect as much offensive production out of JC as we have seen all this year, and that applies to Mason as well. The game will be won on the defensive end and both teams have shown they are very solid defenses throughout the year. I believe that it will be low scoring game but the ground game of JC and solid defense should carry this team to a narrow win.

JC: 28
Mason: 14

[Gator]

No letdown this week, JC 34 - 6

[eaglehoops]

One of JC coaches fell during a drill and hit his back. He had broken his back a few years ago and unfortunatley hurt it pretty bad. I haven't heard anything else about his condition.
