Just from what little I've seen about Karns, this should be a little easier task for the PHS defense as Karns doesn't present the same multi dimensional threat that AC and Maryville has. If Karns doesn't have the ability to throw the ball, and Powell can load the box, that could leave some favorable numbers for the Panthers especially when you consider a double team will likely be coming at 99 all night.
If I'm Powell, with the guys they have in the secondary, I would really be considering playing a lot of man coverage and making teams throw it to beat us. Noe and Vaughn both had HUGE nights against Powell, and neither one of them present the same challenge as the Bishop kid from Karns.
Going to be interesting. Very one-sided series historically, but the Beavers are a confident group right now starting 2-0. If the Panthers aren't careful, the train could jump right off the tracks early.
Does Karns have the guys up front to give Bishop room to have a big night? Will Powell make some adjustments to find some answers in their run d? I think this one is going to be a whole lot closer than most of the games in this series have been.
