Harlan County are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 30 points per game before their next contest. They will take on Southwestern in the second round of the playoffs at 7:30 PM on Friday. The stakes are high as the two teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Southwestern can now show off six landslide victories after their most recent game last Friday. Everything went their way against Perry County Central as they made off with a 21-0 win. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Southwestern had established a 21-0 advantage.
Meanwhile, Harlan County earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They had enough points to win and then some against South Laurel, taking their matchup 39-19.
Southwestern didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 18-23 to Harlan County the last time the two teams met. The defeat knocked Southwestern out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Harlan County with a vengeful fire.
