Franklin Simpson must not have gotten that memo.

Honestly, imo, JC was more talented than FS both years they lost to them, but, they played very tight and uncomfortable in those matchups. They may be more talented overall than Boyle, but, if they play like they did in those games, Boyle will blow their doors off quickly. JC's biggest challenge will be between their ears, because regardless how good you've been throughout the season, this game on the big stage against great competition is a whole new ballgame. Matney needs to push the right buttons this week in getting those kids ready to play in this type game.

IMO, the 1st quarter will be very telling on how this game may playout. JC needs to play well early, get some confidence going and then just play their game. If they do that, they can certainly win this game. If they play poorly early or has a turnover or 2 and lets Boyle get up a couple of scores, it could be a long night.

It's almost on the verge of being stupid to even suggest that Franklin Simpson is anywhere close to the great Fort Thomas teams or some of the CovCath teams.....For one thing without Joe Jackson, JC had to have been an underdog in one of the FS games.
