Knox @ North Judson- NJ looking for revenge after last year's loss to the county rival. I look for a lot of scoring early but the Jays to settle in on D and get some stops. Jays 38 - 22.
South Central @ Wheeler- Wheeler has some great skilled players. Looks like they may have a strong air attack this season. SC starting a young team this year. Wheeler 56 - 6.
LaVille @Triton- Close one here. I look for Laville to sneak out a W against their rival. Anxious to see how the new coach settles in. Laville 24-20.
Central Noble @ Culver - CN looks to have a bounce back year and Culver still chasing some consistency in their play. CN 30 - 20.
Caston @ Whitko - Caston has the potential to compete this season in their conference. They will be a hard-hitting team and I think they pull off a convincing win tonight. Caston 40 - 13.
West Central @ Winamac- Will Winamac bounce back after the big loss to county rival WC last season? Not likely as WC returned a big portion of the team. WC 40 - 20.
Northfield @ North Miami - NM graduated some solid talent but seem to be figuring something out. Curious to see how their younger guys step up. NM 22 - 14.
Pioneer @ Lewis Cass - This is the most intriguing matchup as Pioneer lost a lot of their production from last season, but then again, it's Pioneer. They will be ready to roll heading into this season and looking for a chance to head back down south. Lewis Cass brings back a lot of talent with the exception of their +2000 yard back. Coming off a strong 8-4 record and ready for revenge after the 0-28 loss to Pioneer last season. Hard to pick against the panthers, give me Pioneer 28-22.
