Is it déjà vu? For the second straight year, this game looks to decide a conference title (the Bearcats still have Perryville, who has only one conference loss, on their schedule). For the second straight year Paris comes into this game with an 8-0 record.
After the Bearcats knocked off the Eagles last year, both teams ultimately reached the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.
This is the 91st meeting between the two Logan County Schools, which is the most of any Bearcat opponent.
