Week 5 Predictions
#10 Bloomington North (4-1) at New Albany (3-2): After starting the season 3-0, the Cougars took their annual L from Bloomington South before struggling to get the come-from-behind win against a weak Terre Haute North team last week. My gut says they’ll be better prepared this week as they face a talented Bulldogs team. Bloomington North feasts on the weak defense and gets the W.
#8 Brownstown Central (5-0) at Seymour (1-3): The Owls nearly pulled off the huge upset in last year’s Jackson Bowl but the Braves came into that game 4-1 while Seymour was 2-3. There seems to be more of a gap between the two teams going into this year’s game and I think Reed May will have his boys more prepared this time. Brownstown gets the win.
Floyd Central (1-4, 1-0 HHC) at Columbus East (1-4, 1-2 HHC): After the Seymour loss, I didn’t think East was capable of beating anyone in the HHC other than Jennings County. However, last week’s close game with New Albany leads me to believe they’ll get another win or two. While the Highlanders did get a win against Jeffersonville last week, it wasn’t easy. I may regret this but I’m going with my gut here. I’m taking my Olympians to pull out a win.
Jeffersonville (1-3) at Silver Creek (1-3): The Dragons beat Floyd Central 19-0 and Floyd Central beat the Red Devils 20-13 last week. I think you know where I’m going with this. Silver Creek is my pick.
Jennings County (1-4, 0-2 HHC) at BNL (2-3, 2-1 HHC): I don’t think I need to explain this one. I’m taking the Stars over the Panthers easily.
