This week is homecoming week. That is, as long as the flu-bug allows. The flu has already shut down the 6th grade center in Lincoln County and has really taken a toll on the whole community. The Pats felt the symptoms of the flu last week, missing some key contributers and others (that played) were unable to compete like normal because they were feeling the effects of the nasty bug.
Hopefully they will be better by this Friday, when the Pats host Pulaski County at Death Valley. It's the annual homecoming game, and the team really needs a lot of festive homecoming spirit to rally the troops and get the team ready to go. Last weeks game was probably the most uninspired, somber crowd I've ever seen at a LC game. The team feeds off the crowd, show up and support the team (win or lose)!
Now on to the game. The Maroons are bringing a 3-3 record into the contest. This will be their first district game of the year. They have had a weird season to date. They lost a couple of their best players in the first couple of games of the season.
PC will still have plenty of athletes on the field, and will run a wide open offense. They score a lot and give up a lot of points. they average 35ppg and give up 31ppg. They've played a couple of the same teams the Pats have played. PC defeated Rockcastle 47-41, one week after Rockcastle blew out LC. And they beat East Jessamine 35-30, a team LC fell to on the opening weekend of the season.
PC is led in rushing by Alex Abner. Abner has 500 yards rushing and 10 rushing td's. Backup QB, who took over after star QB Chris Muse went down in game two, has thrown for over 800 yards 12 td's. So, they have a balanced attack. Expect a lot of shotgun, wide open, spread offense.
The Pats really need to get this win. They have came out and played well in spurts, but they seem to run out of energy and give up a big play. The margin for error is to narrow to give up the big play. It'll take 48 minutes of determination and focus to pull off the upset, but the Pats can do it.
PC- 3-3 (0-0)
LC- 1-4 (0-1)
