Halloween is upon us and so comes the end of another high school football regular season in the state of Kentucky. The most intriguing matchup of the final weekend in the south central will be the collision between Franklin-Simpson and Glasgow. The Scotties are riding the wave of winning a regular season district title and the Wildcats have jump started their offense for a successful run to close out the season. Will the Scotties get their ninth win on the season or will the Wildcats continue their late season success into the playoffs?What To Watch For:
- Glasgow's stud running back Tavion Parrish has been sidelined with an ankle injury over the last few games, it will be interesting to see if he plays or continue to be held out until playoff time. Michael Bradley and quarterback Parker Cash have been stepping up their ground game as Parrish sets out.
- Speaking of running backs, the Wildcats will counter punch with Darius Wickware who has rushed for 1,297 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season. Those are noteworthy stats!
- Quarterback play will be key, Franklin-Simpson's Max Bennett has passed for 1,182 yards and 11 touchdowns on the season. He has a tendency to throw interceptions (Brett Favre syndrome), coming into the game with 10 on the year. Glasgow's Parker Cash has been very accurate on the season going 48-78 for 961 yards with 15 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions. Cash has some good wheels as well, with 436 rushing yards on the year, a dual threat quarterback is always a dangerous quarterback.
- Max Bennett's favorite target is Jarrell Wickware, who has accounted for 31 grabs for 585 yards and 4 touchdowns on the season. The Scotties playmaker at receiver is Lajuan Smith who has hauled in 25 passes for 539 yards and 8 touchdowns.
- We got a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball for both teams in this contest. I have a feeling the defenses will be chasing in this battle, however, it will be Halloween weekend and strange things may happen like a final score of 3-2.
- I'll take the Scotties in a close high scoring contest.
