Week 10 Predictions
Bedford North Lawrence (5-4) at Shelbyville (1-8): For the first time ever, the Stars meet the Golden Bears on the gridiron. From 2002-2017, Shelbyville only had a losing record five times during those 16 seasons. However, since 2018, the Golden Bears haven’t won more than one game in a season. They have one win this year (against a 2-7 New Castle team) and I don’t expect BNL to allow them a second win. This should be BNL’s easiest game of the season. The Stars win.
Silver Creek (4-5) at Jennings County (3-6): We have yet another first time match-up. Three weeks ago, I would’ve said this is an easy win for the Dragons. However, the Panthers have looked like a different team the last three weeks. Silver Creek is 0-2 against the HHC this season after taking losses against two teams Jennings County beat (Floyd Central and Jeffersonville). Unless the Panthers revert back to their old ways, I have to think they’re in store for their first sectional win since 2016. It would also be their first postseason win against a team other than Madison since beating Franklin County in the sectional semifinals back in 2000. Jennings County wins.
