Lexington 36 - Lafayette Co. 25 (FINAL)

[ChaoticFanatic]

I will more than likely be attending this one.

Thoughts??

I’ve seen Lexington this year but not Higgy

Looks to be a good matchup if both teams play to their potential

 

[E. Rex Sean]

Higgy by a bunch.. 3tds probably. Lex has slightly better skill kids, Higg is way better up front.

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

I have a feeling it’s going to be close. But the battle in the trenches will more than likely be the determining factor.

The only thing close will be Johnny Stockman's shoulder blades.

You may be right, and you may be dead wrong.

higginsville has very good skill positions players too.....if refs aren't passing out too many yellow hankies this is higginsvilles game

I've been dead wrong way more often.

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

Lexington has the tendency to play up and down to their competition. That why I’m thinking this will be a close one. But we shall find out by the end of this week

The only difference is Higgy's skill players are from Crestridge. They are much better recruiters.

Shots fired, shots fired, man down, man down...

I think Higginsville is better. Lexington probably has the best player in their Q, but I think Higginsville will be better all around.

 

[Bill_Shakespeare]

Lexington has done what they’ve needed to until now, but after a pretty soft schedule I’m curious to see what a real test will reveal from these guys. Should be a good one

 

[KCHI]

This is a tough one for me. I'm a Higginsville Grad from long ago, but started my broadcast career in Lexington, including broadcasting two show-me bowls.

I haven't made it out to any KC area games so far this year, might have to try and check this one out. Random question but Lexington had a great back a few years back named Warren Sheppard, does anyone know what became of him?

Played a year at MO ST. Is a music producer out in CA now.

A great, respectable kid.

Nice, glad to hear it. I was impressed by him and lost track of what he ended up doing.

I think we can all agree that Lexington is much more talented and much faster, but it’s going to come down to the battle in the trenches.
Higginsville runs their system very well and are disciplined with it.

Lexington is very very good, Higginsville should probably not even show up with their allotment of a mere 4 tickets per player

I think both teams are very good when they play to their full potential. Higgy has the advantage in the trenches and Lexington has the speed advantage. With the exception of Higgy playing Richmond, neither team has been tested much to this point. Whichever team plays a more complete game in all aspects will win this one.

And up until this point I don’t believe the County health DEPT or whatever was allowing any spectators so 4 a player is better than none.

And only the 11 on the field at any given time can play. The rest won't help any.

I will say that Higginsville has the most impressive win of the two teams with beating Summit Christian. Summit had speed all over the field and they handled it pretty well and walked away with a big win against them. Having seen both play, I just think Higginsville is better. It should be a good one.

You could be right. And I’ve seen Lexington come out flat and then drop 30 points in the second quarter. Whoever wins this game is going to have to play a complete game because neither team is just going to lay down. It will be an interesting game. Looking forward to it.
