’27’s Deasian Harris getting it done on multiple sides and in all three phases
The Tigers have been a mystery this season. Some weeks the team looks like a contender and other weeks not so much. The Tigers looked pretty good in its first round, home vanquishing of third seed, Daviess County. The Tigers looked like world beaters in the overtime win over McCracken (8-3) and like a real threat to stay around a few rounds in the playoffs. If the Tigers can get by the Spartans this week, well; look out! The Tigers finished second in the 6A, District One standings and earned a home playoff game and took full advantage. The Tigers will play last season’s 6A finalist, South Warren, in Bowling Green in a game which, should our Tigers advance, would constitute a significant upset. However, anytime two teams enter a playing field, either can emerge victorious!

Hopkinsville, KY: The Christian County Tigers won a first-round, 6A playoff game for the first time in program history. To be fair, this is the program’s inaugural season.
Still, advancing to the second round is an achievement. The Tigers draw a tough customer, on the road, in the second round.
The South Warren (Bowling Green) Spartans had a bye but finished off an 8-2 regular season when we last saw them in action. They are excellently coached (Brandon Smith, HFC) and have a strong tradition of program success since opening its doors.
We will take a look back at the round one game over Daviess County. Then, we will look ahead at the Spartans.
Deasian Harris had quite a game against Daviess County in a 52-7 thrashing. Harris is a three-phase performer who excels on offense at RB, on defense as a second level/first level defender, and on special teams manning a post in both coverage and returns. He’s sort of a Jack of all Trades with a good deal of proficiency/mastery.
In the first round of the KHSAA Class 6A football playoffs, against Daviess County, DeAsian Harris rushed for 74 yards and scored 2 touchdowns. His performance included…
- Yards: 74 rushing yards on 6 carries (averaging 12.3 yards per carry).
- Touchdowns: 2 rushing touchdowns (scoring on a 26-yard run in the first quarter and a 2-yard run in the third quarter), plus a successful 2-point conversion run.
- Tackles: While Harris’s tackle statistics for this game were not published in local box scores, Harris entered the game with 47 total tackles on the season. His defensive unit dominanted overall, holding Daviess County to just 140 total yards in the 52-7 victory.
The Christian County Tigers captured a historic first-round playoff victory by overwhelming Daviess County. Deasian Harris spearheaded a lethal rushing attack on an evening where the Tigers racked up massive yardage.
This type of game, pound the ground while playing sound defense, is the type game which travels. South Warren will be favored to win the second round game. However, make no mistake, the Tigers have sufficient talent to. upset the Spartans even in Bowling Green.
Here is the handicap and prediction for their upcoming second-round playoff matchup:
Game Handicap
- The Matchup: The Christian County Tigers (4-7) host the South Warren Spartans (8-2) on Friday, November 13, 2026.
- The History: These two teams met earlier in the regular season on September 18, with South Warren completely dominating in a 42-0 shutout victory.
- The Outlook: While the Tigers are playing their best football of the year and showing a dramatically improved defense, South Warren is an elite Class 6A powerhouse. Led by star quarterback Camden Page and explosive running back Jamir Boards, the Spartans average a blistering 42.5 points per game and over 380 yards of total offense. Christian County will play hard at home, but South Warren’s offensive depth and athletic edge are highly likely to dictate the game just as they did in September.
Score & Winner Prediction
- Predicted Winner: South Warren Spartans
- Predicted Score: South Warren 35, Christian County 24
