So, if Madison Southern comes out and beats Harlan County, and beats them pretty good, will your complete logic change?
We all know PC and MS had a 21-18 game and are pretty even, but lets face it, JC and Belfry are run teams that play good defense that bends but dont brake. PC and MS are different. PC is an air it out team, and HC cant stop the pass. Nobody in the mountains can. PC and Hall will throw for a lot of yards on HC assuming HC gets by MS.
I know it sounds like im exaggerating, because i usually do to get folks riled up, but Harris is the best high school back ive ever seen. At first i thought it was a lot of hype with not much backing, but believe me when i say theres no hype. For the poster who commented that Harris would be held to less than 50 yards, hes an idiot. Harris will have that on 1 or 2 runs.
Theres not a kid east of I-75 that could catch him and tackle him from behind.
HC will really struggle this week. With it at HC, it will be a close game, but I dont know that HC can stop MS.

Well, if Madison Southern puts a running clock on Harlan County early in the 2nd Quarter, then I will concede that both PC and MS would have a good shot at beating Johnson Central. But, except for scheduling three teams that are better than any team on either Madison Southern's or Pulaski County's schedule and losing those games, I don't see where much has changed since last season when Harlan County won the regional title. They were favored to repeat this season before losing to Belfry and they are peaking as the playoffs start.

What has changed at Pulaski County and Madison Southern to make you believe that both teams have leapfrogged Harlan County this season? Are the coaches different or are they using radically different offenses?
