One of the most highly anticipated matchups of the Kentucky high school football season takes place Friday night as Trinity brings their caravan in from Louisville to take on the Purples.
Last year's contest was a defensive battle as the Shamrocks defeated the Purples 9-0 up in Louisville. Trinity has defeated the Purples the last three seasons which brings up this question - Can Bowling Green be the only team in Kentucky (other than St. Xavier) to defeat the mighty Shamrock reign since 2004?
KEYS TO THE GAME:
- For Trinity, they have played the tougher opponents so far this season in Cincinnati Elder and Lawrence North, IN. They are coming off a close loss to nationally ranked Cincinnati St. Xavier, 17-10.
- DL Jason Hatcher is a top 100 prospect according to MaxPreps, should be interesting to see him go against the offensive line of Bowling Green. Sophomore QB Travis Wright has stepped up and been extremely accurate so far this season.
- The Purples are coming off a solid road victory over the Owensboro Red Devils 44-20. The defense was off to a great start but has allowed 34 points in the last two games. The Red Devils are the most complete offense the Purples have seen so far this season, it will be interesting to see how the Purple defense holds up against a potent Trinity offensive unit.
- Bowling Green will rely on the agility of QB Scooter Hollis both running and passing. The offense is also made up of a quadruple running attack that includes Hollis, Tevin Anderson, Brandon Green, and Hunter Neveras.
- I think this will be a tough defensive battle early on with Trinity finally winning the war late in the game.
- My prediction: Trinity 21 - Bowling Green 7
