Essex vs Riverheads will not be a close game , I’m picking the Red Team 31 - 14. Essex is to physically beat up to go a full 4 quarters. The Trojans best player #27 ( ribs) #10 ( sustained a possible concussion) #1 ( hyper extended shoulder) #4 ( bruised hip) . I hope all the guys are ok but I think it’s to much to overcome. Essex was gased in the 4th quarter vs Sussex, Riverheads will run 60 plus run plays which is exhausting on any defense. Essex #78 is the key to slowing down Riverheads attack, Essex should place the very nimble running back #24 on the defensive line to assist #78. On offense Essex must get some big gains through the air very early and avoid costly turnovers then must control game tempo to keep Riverheads offense on the sideline. Can Jones and Trojans grind it out and plus handle the adversity of where the game should be played, If so this will be a signature win for a storied Essex program !
