These two teams are mirror images of each other on offense. Springfield’s QB is a better runner and the Lexington QB has a better arm. Both teams are very similar athletically. I think this is as even of matchup as you could get. It will come down to field position and turnovers, in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing Lexington in Springfield for the first time since 1983 or 1984, I can’t remember for sure. @LEON can correct me on that I’m sure.  

I agree with your observation on both programs. In 11 games SHS avgs 26 pts per game giving up 20. Lexington is 25 pts per game giving up 20. Something will have to give. SHS 11 opponents have a avg 5-5 record and Lexington opp has 6-4 record. 3 of SHS opps moved on into 2nd rd. Lexington had 5 opps moving on to 2nd rd.  Lexington played a decent non region schedule 

It will be interesting to see how their speed matches our speed.

Sounds like we are mirror images of each other.  Pretty evenly matched 
 

@brian2000  The game we played 2 years ago against Lexington, at Lexington, was a very good, well played and officiated game.  Lexington  has a well kept older stadium and classy fans.   it was also a second round game and the week of Veterans Day.  They honored a WW II vet prior to the game. The ceremony was EXTREMELY well done.  @LEON and @JacketLover probably can add more details of this game 
 

i am looking forward to this one and hopefully a rematch with Creek Wood in round 3

I will be interested to see what the Jacket’s OC dials up for this game. They came out slinging it against SS, and they haven’t really done that in the last 4-5 games. It’s been fun watching the different looks on offense on a week to week basis. Looking forward to more wrinkles this week.

I’m sure, if it is true, it probably was an isolated incident. Not reflective of the majority of the Lexington faithful. I’m sure we’ve got a fan or two that like to bump their gums from time to time too.

I was there. Didn’t see anything that night & this is the first I’ve heard of it. It was too cold that night to do much.

Rooting for ya Lexington. Springfield has tore region 6 up the past few years 

[brian2000]

It could have been a small isolated situation if true. 

Go Jackets! Gonna be another cold night
