First, let me thank you for reading these posts. I am a huge fan of the Seminole district and try to highlight every team and matchup. Week #9 brings another exciting week of football and the crowning of a district champion.
The Battle for Bedford County (Seminole edition). Jefferson Forest 2-6 at Liberty 1-7. Staunton River has proven to be the top dog in the county, but these two teams would enjoy some bragging rights. Both teams have struggled with injuries and other issues this season. They each play with a passion and fire. The winning team would ignite a positive spark going forward. Should be a great inner county match up.
The Battle of the Burg.. EC Glass 6-2 @ Heritage 4-4. The old city rivalry game will happen Thursday night. The Pioneers have suffered some difficult heartbreakers this season losing the last two games by one point each. The 4 total losses have been by a combined 11 pts. Glass has found lightning in a bottle and has enjoyed a tremendous turn around from last season. Both teams need the win for playoff points, but would enjoy having beaten their crosstown rivals even more.
Seminole Title Game. Rustburg 7-1 @ Amherst 7-1. For what it's worth, this game is for all the Seminole marbles. Borrowing a famous line, "To be the man, you have to beat the man." That is a daunting task for the Red Devils. The Lancers are a very good team, and have one of the best home field advantages of the district. Amherst lost their QB/leader in Turner a few weeks ago, but that hasn't slowed their momentum much. The backup has stepped in and lead them in back to back wins. The Devils are coming off the bye week, and are poised and ready for what lies ahead. They will bring a tough defense and power running game with them in what is sure to be a great game.
Good luck to all teams this week, and again thank you for reading.
