This was a fantastic high school football game. The Bulldogs arre now 5-1 on the season while the Lions are now 5-1 as well.
The Lions will be at home this Friday for the last time in the regular season when they host the Massac County Patriots on Senior Night for the Lions.
Good Morning!
I'm a bit tardy posting my game preview as I was having computer issues last night. I recorded a quick preview this morning.
I gave the wrong score on the St. Joe-Ogden game....it was actually 32-28. My bad.
As a result of their win last week, the Lions were selected as theis week's 10.35 EPSN High School Team of the Week. Yesterday, Matt Varney met with the team to present the award before the start of practice.
Also, Carterville jumped back to the top of the John A Logan Little Egypt Poll.
Join me and Keenan starting at 6:45 tonight as we have pregame coverage on NewsRadio WJPF (AM1340/FM99.5) and wjpf.com.
We will also have our YouTube livestream available here:
Hope to see you at the game tonight. Come out and cheer on the #7 team in the IHSA Class 4A Poll and the #1 team in the John A Logan LIttle Egypt Poll.
