If you're making the trip to Bowling Green, the Tigers (4–7) hit the road this week to face South Warren in the second round. The Spartans (8–2) got a first-round bye for the second year in a row by winning the district.

Christian County beat Daviess County at the Stadium of Champions last Friday. South Warren coach Brandon Smith cautions that this isn't the team his Spartans saw in September.

“They have moved some pieces around.”

Brandon Smith, South Warren coach
  • Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday at South Warren High School
  • Spartans' district record: 3–0
  • Jamir Boards in September: 132 yards, three scores
  • Camden Page in September: 126 passing yards, three scores

South Warren won the first meeting 42–0
