The Barren County coach has reviewed film of the Trojans’ opponent in their postseason opener, and has come to a simple, daunting conclusion: “They’ve got kids that are unbelievable,” he said. “I haven’t seen very many weaknesses at all.” Barren will attempt to find a weakness when they travel to Christian County on Friday to take on the 6-4 Colonels in the first round of the 5A Gridiron Commonwealth Bowl. Richey said this week’s game, unlike the 10 before it, doesn’t come with the guaranteed comfort of knowing there’s always next week. “It’s do or die this week. (Against Bowling Green), we knew in the back of our minds we had another game no matter what happened,” he said. “But if you lose, you go home. “It’s going to be a tough one.” Barren’s game against Bowling Green last week was definitely a tough one. The Purples held the Trojans to just 106 total yards while amassing 318 of their own and putting up seven first-half touchdowns en route to a 49-0 win. Barren did stop an early drive Bowling Green drive with a Kris Aquino interception in the end zone, but were unable to answer the Purples’ 35 second quarter points and fell into a deep hole early. Richey said avoiding an early deficit will be key against Christian County, and has been for the Trojans all season. “It’s just like the Pulaski (County) game,” Richey said, referring the Trojans’ 35-34 victory on Sept. 25. “When we get on the board first and play back and forth, we stay in it. But if we get down early, it’s tough for us to come back against teams with more speed.” And speed is something Christian has plenty of. Senior running back Vashun Banks led the Colonels in rushing this season with 833 yards and eight touchdowns, while quarterback Alex Davie added 532 yards and six touchdowns. The junior also threw for more than 500 yards, six touchdowns and neglected to throw an interception all season. It’s a defensive player, however, that has Richey’s full attention.
