[The Contrarian]

That week one egg laid by Sheldon Clark has really influenced this thread. Fair enough, but I have a hard time believing S.C. is THAT bad.

Look for a good ballgame.

There is no doubt that the lopsided loss to Rockcastle has influenced the predictions on this thread, and I don't think we can fault the posters for their thinking in that regard.

However, this is high school football, and remember anything can happen on a given Friday night. Last season SC got a disastrous start and later beat a very good Lawrence County, outplayed Johnson Central but lost by 2 points, and beat the 3A state title runner-up, Belfry. So, I wouldn't count them out.

Obviously they have a lot of work to do this week in preparation for the Black Cats, and I expect to see a much improved SC team to take the field this Friday night. Thus let us not be too quick to give up on the Cards.
