I don't think we need to overcomplicate this matchup.
West has allowed 5 points post season. Walker Valley has allowed 64. Their opponents for the post-season have similar records.
Have to believe that the only Defense that was comparable to West that WV has faced was Bradley Central.
Yes WV has three shut-outs. They were also shutout once.
WV really hasn't played a schedule to prepare them for this game. On the BC game was a really tough opponent and that ended very badly. The strength of schedule ratings from Maxp arent even comparable.
But I will say, WV and Rhea county in particular have always been very tough blue collar teams. That's what I expect to see in this game. But west has also shown a bluecollar mindset since the current coach arrived. and now they have the belief they can win it all. I don't know what they have coming up, but they sure seem like they could stay good for quite a while.
