I wasn't flexing or being disrespectful to Boonville, just giving my opinion based on past and current observations. In fact, I think Coach Ward is a good coach and an even better person. And, while it isn't a big thing, I was one the sponsors for his weekly coaches show on WREF for several years. I base my opinion on the fact that Harrison is much improved and has a good sized line and several weapons. Bosse doesn't seem to be as strong as Harrison (we'll find out Friday night), but its pretty well-known that one of the reasons Boonville cited as for not wanting to join the SIAC in 2020 was having an undefeated team get taken to the wire by a 2 win Bosse team in 2018. If Boonville was undefeated I might feel differently, but from what I saw of them this summer and feeling they will be 5-4 heading into the tournament, its my opinion they would have trouble against Harrison and maybe to a lesser extent, Bosse. Last year they lost to a 3 win Reitz team that was hit with a key injury and was no where near as competitive as they are this year. When the tournament rolls around, a team like Harrison / Bosse having a chance to play someone besides Reitz, Memorial or Jasper will probably get them pretty motivated.
