Tbh, that scrimmage is one of the reasons why my mind shifted a little be in our preseason expectations. I knew we had plenty if speed and a solid QB. But there were alot of question Mark's upfront, in the backfield, and at LB and what type of iver all team physicality would be. When we played well and held our own with Belfry I felt like we would be fine. Then we manhandled 5A Montgomery Co in the grid. Then came the greenup and Russell games. The greenup game had me and many others thinking Greenup was better than anticipated and tbh were a few dropped balls from winning that game, then the Russell game happened and I nearly lost all hope. But we have bounced back even though injuries and went toe to toe with a Pikeville team that I expected to beat us by 3 or 4 scores, without our QB1 and then lost our QB2 early in the game and went to our emergency QBs. My expectations have never changed so much through the course of the season. But imo, tonight's game should pretty well solidify those expectations one way or another. Win or lose, this game should tell us a bit about what the post season will hold. I also want to add that I am extremely proud of Hughes, Rowsey, and Cox for how they have stepped up in the absence of Heighton.
