JEFFERSONVILLE – After a productive Week 1 for Old Kev in
the football picks, he tries to build off that momentum in Week 2.
Let’s get to Friday’s picks:
SEYMOUR (1-0, 0-0
HHC) AT JEFFERSONVILLE (0-1, 0-0), 7 P.M.
Thanks to running back Kam Fuller, the Red Devils’ 49-28
loss to defending Kentucky state runner-up Pulaski County was not as bad as
expected. But this young Jeff team still has lots of growing to do and it does
not get any easier against an experience Seymour team.
The Red Devils better hope the Owls are looking a little bit
ahead to their huge Hoosier Hills Conference home showdown with Class 5A No. 1 Columbus
East next week to keep this one close.
Old Kev’s pick:
Seymour 42, Jeff 24.
NEW ALBANY (1-0) AT CLASS
5A NO. 7 CASTLE (1-0), 8 P.M.
The Bulldogs defeated archrival Providence in their season
opener last week 34-0. They could have won by more if they did not commit a
plethora of penalties for 105 yards. A couple of the infractions negated
potential scoring drives.
New Albany cannot afford to make a bunch of penalties
against the always formidable Knights. Along with trying to avoid penalties,
the Bulldogs must fight off the demons that all Clark-Floyd teams face when
they make the dreaded two-hour bus ride down Interstate 64 West to play an
Evansville-area school.
Old Kev’s pick:
Castle 35, New Albany 21.
PROVIDENCE (0-1) AT
FLOYD CENTRAL (0-1), 7 P.M.
It’s pretty simple – Kaden Williams has to have huge games
running the ball if the Pioneers are going to win this season.
Last Friday versus New Albany, Williams rushed for only 50
yards. That is just not enough if Providence expects to win Class 2A Sectional
39 this season. The Pioneers’ offensive line has to improve and Providence has
to find a way to throw the ball a little bit to make defenses get out of lining
up at least eight defenders within the tackle box.
It will not be easier against a veteran Highlander squad
that held its own against perennial Kentucky power Louisville Male for more than
half of the game last week.
Old Kev’s pick:
Floyd Central 24, Providence 13.
