Mid-State Week 5

[roaringthunderdlr]

Mooresville (1-3) at Decatur Central (1-2-1)

Decatur Central just suffered the ultimate humiliation. Up 35-0, they ended up losing 39-38 to Martinsville. This one shouldn't be too hard, though. Mooresville COULD win another game in the conference, but they are likely 8th out of 8. Mooresville tends to play better against their arch-rival, but this one shouldn't be close.

Prediction: Decatur Central 42, Mooresville 21

Plainfield (4-0) at Greenwood (2-2)

Greenwood still has issues on the defensive side of the ball, and that won't help them against a top 3 rushing attack in 5A. Plainfield only needed to pass the ball 6 times and ran for 365 yards in their 35-12 win over Perry Meridian. Greenwood has a potent offense that could make things interesting early, but they will not be able to match Plainfield's physicality for 4 quarters.

Prediction: Plainfield 42, Greenwood 14

Martinsville (4-0) at Franklin (2-2)

Martinsville's offense is POTENT. They can run, they can pass, they can do it all. Franklin is not a bad team though and can easily compete if the Arties are not focused. Martinsville still has issues on the defensive side of the ball, but their defense will step up when needed.

Prediction: Martinsville 38, Franklin 26

Perry Meridian (2-2) at Whiteland (2-1-1) (Game of the Week)

Perry Meridian is a physical football team and can cause Whiteland fits if the Warriors are not prepared. Whiteland is the better team on paper, but may have came into the season a bit overhyped. Perry Meridian's QB is small but fast and can make plays through the air. This will be an extremely defensive football game and the tougher and more physical team will win.

Prediction: Whiteland 21, Perry Meridian 14
