With my hornets not doing as well as they should, I am looking at other games this week. Looks like the big match up is Gap/ Riverheads. What are the opinions out there for this weeks match ups?
Wilson/Luray
Riverheads/Gap
Page/East Rock
Stonewall/Draft
Go Hornets!
I look for Wilson and Luray to battle for 3 quarters, with Luray scoring a 4th quarter touchdown or 2 to seal it. As RPN stated earlier, their depth is an issue this year.
I look for Riverheads to be the sharper team vs the Bison, with them coming out on top again this year. Gap has a good combination of size, speed, and toughness this year, but they need to play better than they did against Wilson last week to win this one, and I'm not sure they will be able to get all the turnover and penalty problems solved just yet. I will say this: if they can limit their turnovers and penalties they will have a good shot at pulling off the upset. Gap's defense is good, so I'll be curious to see if and how they are able to slow the big red machine. I know Gap wants this one as they feel like they should have beaten them last year so we will see how it goes. I will actually be going to this game tomorrow as I think it has the potential to be a wild one.
East Rock should beat Page, but Page should be a little more competitive this year than in years past.
Stonewall and Draft should see a running clock and lots of 2nd teamers in the game for the cougars.
I'll throw in some Valley action as well:
Harrisonburg and Waynesboro: Waynesboro surprised us all a little last week playing Spotswood so close and putting themselves in a position to win late so this game may be a coin flip depending on which Waynesboro team shows up.
Lee and Broadway: The Leemen should be able to win this game, and I actually think this is a must win to get the morale up and get some positive things going.
Spotswood and TA: This one should be a pretty competitive game and based on last week, I'm leaning more towards TA in this one. This could determine who wins the Valley, although none of the teams are playing great football right now.
