Tonight will show us something because Botetourt, besides Salem and HV is a little step up. The Vikings are still talented even without Chance Hall and Austin Fisher, they have 3 legitimate Division 1 stars in Jelani Carter ODU committ, Carlos Basham and Tra Jackson. The Vikings biggest problem has been themselves turnovers, special teams, and penalties. But don't feel sorry for their talent.
 
Your comments are spot on. I think LB is the toughest opponent since Salem (but are no where close to their level). They may be on par with HV though. You are correct that turnovers have been the biggest issue. I think they would have defintely won against HV if they could have hung on to the football. They are VERY physical. Fleming got outmuscled and Northside's O and D line just pummeled them. With Fisher gone, Jackson is getting more touches and doing extremely well. He's a true threat catching, running, and returning kickoffs. Corey Williams runs hard is a little pinball out there. Porterfield and Wampler aren't the fastest wideouts, but get open and have great hands. Hardister is playing better and can be surprisingly elusive when he takes off. Defensively, NS is stout and plays assignment football. As a team, they look much better since the Salem game. Tonight will tell a lot.
