Well said
@BoKnowsSports. You have to respect every team left in Region B. These two teams have never met on the football field and for me it's been a long time coming. Powhatan athletics are tough and we share a strong rivalry in other sports.
Games are never won by statistics; however, I wanted posters to be able to compare the two teams.
Offensively, Powhatan scores 26 points ppg. The Indians Average 274 yards per game. 157 by air and 117 on the ground. Qb Dylan Trevillian has completed 106 passes for 1,534 yards 17 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He has also rushed for 322 yards. The rushing attack is led by Edgar Alejo 332 yards with 5 touchdowns and Landon Huchison with 239 yards and 3 touchdowns. A trio of fine receivers include Ben Whitver, 29 catches for 511 yards and 6 touchdowns, Oscar Whitley 23 catches for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Matthew Henderson 23 catches 484 yards and 8 touchdowns.
Defensively, the Indians give up 10 points a game. Their opponents average 221 yards per game. 140 in the ground and 81 yards through the air. The Powhatan defense is led by James Britt 52 tackles, Landon Gibbs 42 tackles, and Cody Osterman with 7 sacks.
Offensively, Dinwiddie scores 52 points per game. The Generals average 400 yards per game. 253 on the ground and 147 yards through the air. Qb Harry Dalton has completed 80 passes for 1,445 yards 21 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He has also rushed for 1,069 yards and 16 touchdowns. The rushing attack is also led by Raphael Tucker 922 yards with 19 touchdowns and Zalen Wiggins 230 yards and 5 touchdowns. Dinwiddie's top receivers include Christopher Drumgoole 21 catches 421 yards with 6 touchdowns, Marquis Smith 21 catches 380 yards with 7 touchdowns, and Zalen Wiggins 20 catches 341 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Defensively, the Generals give up 7 points a game. Their opponents average 153 yards per game. 54 yards rushing and 99 through the air. The Dinwiddie defense is led by Trey McBride 82 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 5 sacks, Devon McDowell 68 tackles and 8 sacks, and Quinton Mankin 50 tackles and 4 interceptions.
Powhatan depends on a quick hitting offense and a bend, but don't break defense. Their margin of victory is +10. They have struggled to score against the better teams on their schedule and will obviously need to be sound in be all phases to win this game. Dinwiddie puts a ton of points on the board. They pound you with the rushing game, but are very capable through the air. Dinwiddie's defense flies to be the ball and just doesn't give up much on the ground. The Generals margin of victory is an unreal +45 points.
Dinwiddie will not give up a lot of points in this game, so Powhatan must do what no one else has. Slow the game down to a crawl and keep Dinwiddie's offense off the field. The Indians could try and get in a track meet, but Dinwiddie's defensive backs and pass rush should negate that theory. Can Powhatan get it done? Not this Thursday. Powhatan will fight, but Dinwiddie has way too many weapons. 49-14 Generals.
