Johnson, No. 1</figcaption></figure>Now Brady Johnson is 6’1,” and weighs 175-pounds. He is a junior playing for a 2A, D8 program experiencing a rebuild. The Wildcats were 0-6 going into the Pike County Central game. Pike County Central had won three games and didn’t figure to struggle against a Wildcat bunch invading the Hawks Nest searching for its first win. Well, the Hawks were wrong.Young teams like Shelby Valley take some time to jell. Not to mention the fact Shelby Valley played 4A powers like Letcher County and Perry County Central together with 3A traditional tough-outs, Lawrence County and E-Town, the latter of which Shelby Valley lost to by a slight five (5) points, 49-44.Not all 1-6 records are similarly constituted.Now against a three-win Pike County Central, Johnson was 16 for 22 for 228-yards and a TD. Johnson rushed for 59-yards on 6-carries with a TD on the ground. Each score was pivotal as the final score was 14-12, Shelby Valley. Lincoln Taylor’s two-points (No. 74, ’26) ended up the difference. <blockquote>Against Somerset, Sperry caught four (4) passes for 80-yards and a TDKHSAA statistical website</blockquote>Shelby Valley travels to Stanville, Kentucky to take on the Bobcats from Betsy Lane. Betsy Lane is 6-1 with a narrow loss to an undefeated Prestobsburg the difference between it and perfection on the season. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1wwPrV_0wABBYZN00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1wwPrV_0wABBYZN00" width="400" height="400" ></figure>The Durden Ratings Index (DRI) has assigned a score of 51.75 to Shelby Valley while Betsy Lane posts a 49.2. That would suggest Shelby Valley would be favored to win.However, our algorithm back at the office has Betsy Lane, on a neutral field, giving the visiting Wildcats from Pikeville, Kentucky 11-points. The game will be played at Betsy Lane which is good for another 3-points.We are going with our algorithm simply because of the money we expended developing it. We are taking Betsy Lane in the matchup and predicting the Bobcats win by 14-points at home. However, don’t be surprised if Shelby Valley makes it two in a row as the DRI scores for the two teams gives us great pause in making the prediction we made. Man, I love high school football!Join us next Friday when we feature another worthy KHSAA football player. Until then, let’s keep it comfortable out there Kentucky; and should you need any help with that; contact our friends at Big Ass Fans!This is Friday Night Fletch, reporting for KPGFootball, reminding you to PLAY THROUGH THE WHISTLE!If you enjoyed this article and wish to gain full-access to the site, then subscribe monthly to Kentucky Prep Gridiron by following the prompts!© The information contained on this site is the copyrighted intellectual property of KPGFootball.
