Lincoln vs. Johnson Central for the regional championship

CALLING ALL PATRIOT FANS, your team is playing for the regional championship at your Death Valley this weekend. Personally I'm more excited than a puppy with two peters. From everything that I have read Johnson Central is a power football team coming in to the matchup with the same 10-2 record as the Patriots. They lost to Belfry and Woodford during the regular season. Lincoln has in my opinion played the more difficult schedule, based on combined win/loss records of teams. Everyone online is calling for this to be a very close game, with Lincoln currently being the favorite. However, I don't think it's going to be close at all. Most Eastern Kentucky teams come in talking smack about how good they are, but usually haven't played very high caliber teams. I don't care if they do have a receiver that has almost 1000 yards, he can't be half of the player we have in Ryan or Noah for that matter. I don't care if they have good running backs, they can't run as hard as Avery, Trey, and Dustin. I read on bluegrasspreps.com that their QB may not play due to an injury he received last week. He was getting an MRI on his knee and it hasn't been confirmed as to whether he'll play or not. Daniel Walls was awarded the area lineman of the year this week, so along with his comrades in the trenches, I think our line has to be better. I know that the offensive and defensive line don't always get the credit they deserve, so le't go out of our way to show how proud we are of the line. They have been dominant and have dictated the way most of our games have gone this year. Congrats to Boone Walls and the rest of the line.
We've talked about offense, but let's get to the real meat and potatoes of our hometown heroes. Our defense will bust anybody up, I don't care who you are or where you're from. We'll send you packing, believe that. These mountain boys haven't seen anything like the black shirt defense we're getting ready to unleash on them. I know it's against school policy, but I'm trying to get the PA to announce "UNLEASH HELL" (like Russell Crowe in Gladiator) when our defense steps on the field for the first time. That would be awesome.
Time to truth up and man up Patriot players, you didn't get here by accident. You are in the regional championship because you have worked hard all year and played very well together as a unit. You are better in the backfield, on the line, defensively, through QB to receiver, we are better. You guys have to believe that, and if you do you can't be beat. Because when you know in your heart and mind that you're better, if you are down and getting beat, your heart and mind will push you to the next level to overcome. Be strong and know that they are on your sacred ground, in your house trying to violate you and your property, and you must defend Lincoln's pride.
Lincoln dominates and shows out against the mountain eagles 33-14
