According to Massey and NFHS, Hardin-Jefferson is playing Athens and not Hamshire-Fannett. 😉

Currently, Massey has Athens beating Hardin-Jeff by a score of 48-14.

Well this one is a coin flip.  HF by 1.

Believe that my Horns will get the win.

Bullets13 Jr. nails a 45 yard FG with room to spare as time expires for the W!  

I will be chanting junior, junior, junior as the HF crowd stares and wonders what is wrong with me.

Athens’ stud qb went out with an ankle injury Friday night in the second quarter with them leading 14-6, and they scored one more touchdown the rest of the game. If he’s healthy it’s a tossup, but if he’s out or limited (major threat with his legs) I like my horns.

I think their starting RB got hurt to at some point that game to

HF by 10

Massey projections has this one 35-34 Athens

The result of this game will depend heavily on how healthy Athens is.

I think it's a toss-up if Athens is healthy. They're perhaps a small favorite. But if their QB can't go, or if he's hobbled, HF is the clear favorite. It's worth noting that Athens, while clearly a good team, only has 1 win this year against a team with a winning record (an impressive 2-point win over Longview Pine Tree).

Matt Stepp picked HF by a touchdown.

I’m picking HF regardless for the record

I'm picking the horns. You would think the tough district HF has faced the last month should benefit the horns. Athens shouldn't have anything skill wise that HF hasn't seen in district play.

DCTX has this one too close to call.

If everyone is healthy it seems like a toss-up. Athens QB is a run-first dual threat QB (decent passer) who went out with an ankle last week. Tried to come back in twice and couldn't go. Not sure if he's playing this week, and if he is I'm not sure what % he'll be at. If he's not playing or can't run well that's going to severely limit their offense. I've also heard one of Athens' running backs has a broken hand, and their best D-lineman was out last week with injury. Not sure of his status for this week. So I guess we'll see. We have one key linebacker with an ankle injury, and that's pretty much it apart from our O-lineman who's arm was broken against WOS several weeks ago. Regardless of who is on the field hopefully we take care of business and advance.

Honestly both teams healthy it’s whose teams defense do I have more faith in? I’m picking HF

Also for any HF fans or anyone else for that matter that wants to get a look at Bellville (even if it is just Houston Worthing) Bellvillesports.com will have the game for free on their website or through their YouTube page! These guys always do a great job! Game starts at 7 pm pre game at 6:30 or 6:45

HF by 14, but HF has to establish a running game to open up the passing game. If they do, they should control this one.
