Booneville versus Cedarville was almost predictably slotted into the final week of the regular season.
The Bearcats and Pirates have previously met four times, and all were in week 10 of the season.
The schools met for the first time to close the 1996 regular season, a game the Bearcats won 40-28 at Glen Wisley Field.
After the two-year cycle was completed in 1997 – the last time the Bearcats had a kicker convert two field goals in a game – the schools wouldn’t see one another again until the 2018 and 2019 seasons, again the final game before the postseason.
The Bearcats have won all previous meetings, with the closest margin being the first game in the series.
The first round of the 2022 Class 3A state football playoffs begin on Friday, November 11. Stay with RNN Sports for more information regarding the Bearcats’ first opponent and where they will play.
