Scouting Report: Webster Co. HS Football Week #2 

         The BCHS Bears football team is on the road again, and travels to Webster Co. HS. The almost ninety-mile drive comes in week #2 of the KHSAA football regular season away at Dixon, Kentucky. 

         Quick Facts on Webster Co. HS football; the Trojans are Class 3A and lost their season opener to Crittenden Co. by a score of 46-18. Webster Co. has a *48-man roster grades 9-12 and last season the Bears lost to Webster Co. by a score of 55-28. Webster Co. in 2023 finished the season at 6-5 overall. 

           The Webster Co. offense is a run first offense and seldom if ever passes the football. Last week the Webster Co. Trojans ran the football forty-five plays; and only five pass plays on the night the entire game. So, look for the Trojans to, like most running teams, control the clock  and dominate the time of possession.  

            Derek Adams & Ty Phillips are the keys to the run game for Webster Co.  Tyler Kautzman, a junior who led the team in tackles last season returns and was the leading tackler last week in game one for the Trojans. 

              The Bears look to get into the win column this week, the keys to the game. One- hold the Webster Co. run game in check.  Two- Win the turnover battle. Three- The Trojans pass defense gave up 280 yards passing last week, and the Bears will chip away at that area.  Both teams are (0-1) and both look to get into the win column Friday night.
