Week seven is upon us in the 13th Region and for almost all of our teams, district play is here.
It’s a huge week for many teams.
Starting off with South Laurel.
If there is a time South Laurel needs to find it’s self it’s this week.
The Cardinals are still seeking their first win of the season and it doesn’t get any easier Friday night as Pulaski comes to town.
Next up is Whitley county.
The Colonels are playing a lot better than the record shows but this is a time where definitely they need to step up to close out games. This is a game I can see going both ways — a win or loss for the Colonels.
Next is Middlesboro.
The Yellow Jackets go to Breathitt County to try and pick up an impressive road win against a very good football team.
Next up is Williamsburg at Sayre.
This is an important game for the Yellow Jackets after suffering their first loss to the hands of Somerset on Friday night.
I expect Sydney Bowen and the offense to step up and make an impact on this one.
Next we have Harlan County taking on Letcher Central.
The Black Bears are needing to pick up a win after losing to Clay County at home last week. Harlan County has mainly dominated the run game during the season so if they can get back to that I don’t see why they can’t get back on the winning side of things.
Next up we have a big game between Clay County and Johnson Central. Quarterback Tate Rice and the Tigers are rolling after coming off an impressive road win over a very good Harlan County team. We saw North Laurel defeat Johnson Central earlier in the year and I think the second 13th Region team will beat them this week I’m gonna take the Tigers. Next, we have Bell county going on the road to take on Rockcastle county. The Bobcats are playing very well as of late after getting Ethan Raby back from injury and they continue to play old school bell county physical football. This is a big road game for coach Hilton and his football team.
Hold tight folks, we still aren’t finished.
Next we have Corbin going on the road to take on a solid Simon Kenton team.
The Redhounds have been absolutely dominant during the whole season and have played well on both sides of the ball. A road test however comes for the Redhounds as they try to stay perfect after six weeks of football.
And finally, we go down to London for our Tim Short Auto Mall Game of The Week between North Laurel and Southwestern.
The Jaguars will attempt to stay hot after defeating cross town rival South Laurel 43-0 last week as their defense continues to impress. North Laurel has beaten some solid teams so far and will have the opportunity to do so again on Friday night.
