COUGARS
Class 3A,
Sectional 23
Mid-Southern
Conference
October 24, 2008
Looking Ahead
CLASS 3A, SECTIONAL 23
First-Round Opponent:
Charlestown
Time:
7 p.m.
Location:
At Charlestown High
School
Records:
North Harrison (3-5
overall, 3-2 in the Mid-Southern Conference); Charlestown (6-3 overall,
5-1 in the Mid-Southern Conference).
Sagarin Ratings:
North Harrison
(No. 279 Overall; No. 58 in Class 3A); Charlestown (No. 190 Overall; No.
38 in Class 3A).
Sagarin Game
Prediction:
Charlestown by 27.
Last Week:
The Cougars and the
Pirates – who met in Week 8 – both lost in Week 9. Charlestown dropped a
28-14 decision to 8-1 Lawrenceburg, while North Harrison fell to upstart
Crawford County, 34-27.
Regular-Season Meeting:
Two week
ago, Charlestown scored 25 second-half points to clinch its second
straight MSC championship, 25-7 over the Cougars.
Next Week:
The winner will face the winner of the Salem-Heritage Hills
contest. If Charlestown wins, it will host Salem or go to Santa Claus to
face the Patriots. A North Harrison win will have the Cougars at home
against either Salem or Heritage Hills.
Last Year:
Charlestown won its first-round contest over Brown County before falling
to Heritage Hills, 42-24 in the sectional semifinal. North Harrison lost
in the first round, 36-29 to Edgewood.
The “Inside” Scoop:
Charlestown should beat the Cougars again. This time, I think the
Pirates will throw the knock-out punch much earlier.
Scoop’s Pick:
Charlestown 40, North Harrison 14.

Championship
Semifinal
Winners
Favorite:
Heritage Hills. Despite being in a rebuilding
season, the Patriots' tradition speaks loudly. Plus, HH
faces -- by far -- the toughest schedule of any team in
Sectional 23.
Darkhorse:
Edgewood. Once again, the Mustangs got a favorable
draw. Senior QB Josh Collier gives Edgewood at shot at
winning any game in this tournament.
Best
Player: Cameron Metzger, Charlestown. The Pirate
senior was easily the best player in this sectional
until an early-season knee injury. He's back. If he's
back near 100%, Charlestown has a great shot at winning
its first sectional since 1996.
X-Factor:
Heritage Hills. It's really hard to tell just how
good the Patriots are. They have lost to some inferior
teams, but they beat a very good team in South Spencer,
23-0, in Week 9.
Scoop's
Picks
First
Round:
Heritage
Hills 18, Salem 13; Charlestown 40, North Harrison 14;
Edgewood 49, Corydon Central 12; Crawford County 32,
Brown County 14.
Semifinals: Heritage Hills 35, Charlestown 27;
Edgewood 50, Crawford County 16.
Championship: Heritage Hills 42, Edgewood 21.
The
"Inside" Scoop: Oh, so much to say about
this sectional. 1.) Heritage Hills is still the
favorite, but the Patriots are vulnerable -- good news
for Charlestown and Salem; 2.) Edgewood is solid and
will have little problem getting to the championship
game for the second straight year. If things fall right,
the Mustangs could win their first sectional title since
1990; 3.) Salem is a legit contender. As good as the
Lion defense is, Salem will be in any game. 4.) Crawford
County is going to win five games this season. Just how
amazing is that? Can you say, "Team of the Future." 5.)
After saying all of that, Heritage Hills will still
probably win Sectional 23.

SECOND-HALF BURST
LEADS PIRATES TO MSC TITLE
Charlestown wins
second straight league crown with 25-7 victory
Charlestown
trailed North Harrison 7-0 Friday in what amounted to a
Mid-Southern Conference title match.
The Pirates --
much like they did in an earlier win over Clarksville --
exploded in the second half to clinch their second straight
MSC championship.
Damon Vest and
Josh Graham each ran for second-half touchdowns as
Charlestown pulled away.
Graham -- a
junior running back -- led the Pirates with 176 yards on 15
carries. Vest added 129 yards on just seven carries.
North Harrison
sophomore Matt Bruderle, who had 168 rushing yards of his
own, scored on a 13-yard TD with 13 seconds left in the
first half.
After struggling
in the red zone in the first half, Vest made it a moot point
with 51 and 47 yard runs in the second half. Graham finally
scored twice in the red zone in the second half, on runs of
20 and nine yards.
The Pirates
prepare for the sectional next Friday when they host 7-1
Lawrenceburg. After dropping their first game of the season
two weeks ago, 46-8 to East Central, the Tigers beat South
Dearborn, 41-9 on Friday.
At the same time,
North Harrison will be at Crawford County. The Wolfpack are
3-5 after a 44-20 loss to Clarksville on Friday.

Last Week:
Charlestown lost its
first MSC game in two years, 18-13 to Salem, to fall into a first-place
tie with the Lions. With its 45-18 win over Eastern, North Harrison
pulled within a half-game of the MSC lead.
Last Year vs.
Charlestown:
Charlestown clinched its first outright MSC title since 1989 with a 49-0
win over the Cougars. Andrew Smith completed all seven of his passes –
three for touchdowns – in the victory.
Last 10 Years vs. Charlestown:
5-5. Until the Pirates
beat NH last year, the Cougars had beaten them three straight times.
The “Inside” Scoop:
I think Charlestown will contain RB Matt Bruderle and win going away.

Charlestown 34, North Harrison 7.
