Rafferty's Bowl Preview



With the high school football season upon us, I figured it is time to preview the Rafferty's Bowl 2010. The Southwestern Warriors and Christian County Colonels will return to L.T. Smith Stadium to take on Bowling Green and Warren Central. This time Warren Central will be looking for payback against the Colonels, who knocked the Dragons out of the second round of the playoffs last year in a close 13-7 contest. Ironically, the Colonels got bounced in the next round against the Purples. This should shape up to be a good, close game as the Dragons look to keep their momentum going from last season.

Southwestern posted a nice 7-4 record with a win coming against Warren Central in last year's bowl. The Warriors got ousted in the opening round of the playoffs against Harlan County. Bowling Green is...well, Bowling Green...always solid in the regular season and make deep runs in the playoffs consistently every year. However, I feel they will both be intriguing games because it is the first game of the year.

At the beginning of the year teams are still trying to figure things out and get used to game competition so things could get sloppy with turnovers, confusion on receiver routes, and broken plays. It may not be pretty, but its football and that is all that matters!
