Harlan at Clay County, 7:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tigers rolled in their first game of the season, and I expect no different in this game. Harlan will attempt to win its season-opener, but it\u2019s not gonna be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: Clay County 55, Harlan 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday\u2019s Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bourbon County vs. Williamsburg at South Laurel, 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Yellow Jackets will open against a Bourbon County squad that was held to -53 rushing yards last week. I also believe the heat could play a big role in this game, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: Williamsburg 28, Bourbon County 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Knox Central at South Laurel, 8:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a tough one to pick. Most prognosticators are going with the Panthers in this game, and I understand why. But I\u2019m going out on a limb and thinking Cardinal quarterback Mason Griffin has a big game against his former team and freshman Zach Thomas has his breakthrough game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: South Laurel 26, Knox Central 25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whitley County at North Laurel, 7:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is another game that\u2019s going to be close. When these two teams meet up, you can always expect a good game. The key to success for North Laurel is to find a way to contain the Colonels\u2019 Dee Parker. The bigger question might be, can Whitley County slow down a Jaguar offensive attack that is loaded with talent. And you can\u2019t forget just how dominant both offensive and defensive lines player for North Laurel last week. The heat could play a role in this game, too. Look for Jaguar kicker Cam Anderson to hit a game-winning field goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: North Laurel 24, Whitley County 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Middlesboro at Garrard County, 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This should be a battle. Both teams enter Friday\u2019s contest with identical 0-1 records. Look for Garrard County to find a way to pull out the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: Garrard County 20, Middlesboro 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Berea at Lynn Camp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I know I keep saying this but it\u2019s the truth. Coach Darrell Hendrix and his assistant coaches have done a fantastic job preparing the Wildcats for this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re 1-0 and look to go 2-0 with a home game at Mitchell Field Friday. I expect them to get the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: Lynn Camp 49, Berea 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
