Patriots have some great special teams and that should make a difference, plus the fact coach Nardone announced it's his final season so WP is gunnin' for playoffs.

I think Z-ville could be in for a long season and will prolly go down in this one 28-21.

Um, MC lost to D5 Crestview 20-19 in OT, and lost to D6 Shadyside after blowing a 12-pt. lead i believe.

Both are in Pioneer Valley Conference. Nice little D5 league.

Should be a good one at Woodsfield and for PVC title because it'll prolly come down to these two, unless Shenandoah pulls off some surprises. I would say River is a slight favorite, although Pilots have NEVER won at Monroe Central since the consolidation. Pilots have a lot of speed but MC has the si...

I know Martins Ferry caught on to rival Bellaire's idea of scheduling Sir Wilfred Laurier for games because of the computer points (i think D-1 points) and then another school in the Buckeye 8 Conference, Harrison Central, picked up S-W Laurier for a game this season. Wouldn't be surprised to see a ...

If Fickeisen can avoid the turnovers like he had last week throwing the ball the Cougars should get their first 'W' against a team that has some talent in the backfield. Cougars by 12.

If Athens High doesn't win this one it's gonna be a long, excruciating season for the Bulldogs. Watched my Beallsville Blue Devils whip Federal Hocking 9 TDs to ZERO in a scrimmage and if AHS is smart they put the ball in the air, attack the corners, throw in some skinny posts, and it'll be a breeze...

From what I saw Fort Frye needs to find a way to improve on 1 of 6 passing for 6 yds. The Cadets' special teams were great on returns so maybe that'll be the spark they get this week for a 'W'. If Belpre can stop the run game they roll. Don't know much about the caliber of competiton Warren presente...

From what i've seen Fed-Hock will struggle this year against teams with any sort of experience at QB. Beallsville's first-team whupped them in a scrimmage 7 td's to zero, and the reserves added 2 more scores. Caldwell's coach DeVol has returned to his roots but 5 TD's is good night's work. They've g...

More experience for the younger players at Beallsville by the time the third quarter rolls around IMHO. Beallsville hammered the TVC's Miller 56-0 while Strasburg lost to Wellsville 60-3. It'd be safe to say 58-0 is a possibility. I like the fact Blue Devils can bring in the new starters and give th...

There's so many storylines for this one it's just too juicy to miss. 1 - Two bitter rivals across the Ohio River from one another. 2 - Senior DB-WR Brandon Sprouse's see-saw career is back at Magnolia after transferring from River where he lettered twice. 3 - Game of Week to be televised on www.wtov...

Can you say SHOCKED both teams lost in week 1? Monroe fell in OT to Columbiana Crestview 20-19, and Shadyside lost on the last play of the game to D5 Ridgewood 31-28. A close game i see here with Shadyside pulling it out, although MC's line is the key to keep that running game going. It'll be one of...

I think it helps in terms of benefitting the younger players being able to see extended time on the field. Beallsville needs to use all its players when they get a big enough cushion. Don't think they'll make any mistakes hurting the main 'guns' on the team by using them too much. I think you'll see...

Yes, that's Dylan Potts - only a junior. He's gotta be on some kina relay teams for the River track team.

He flew on that 70-yd. td run. Wish River was playin' Green again this year just to see a game at Marietta's stadium. Thats a nice place to play.

I don't like to brag, but I made my prediction before I went to the game and the result was almost dead-on. Final - Beallsville 56 Miller 0. Falcons missed a lot of tackles but Blue Devils are quicker and let's face it, teams in the TVC don't know about pass defense from what I've seen over the pas...

Watched highlites on TV and Crestview went into Monroe Central and WON 20-19 in overtime. They are bigger than I thought.

MC really needed this one but missed 2 EPs.

River won 35-0. River quarterback Dylan Potts threw for around 100 yds. and ran for 120, including a 70-yd. TD run. Fort Frye didn't get a first down until 4th qtr. They are really struggling with the passing game (1 completion) and didn't do any better on the ground My sources told me River held FF...

Coach Jay Circosta's the winningest coach in the OVAC and he'll add to that number tonight against Crestview in a first-ever meeting. Seminoles have two good backs in Habig and Headley that will be hard to bring down, but the passing of senior Derek-London Dierkes will put MC on the scoreboard many ...

Should be a long busride back to Beverly for Cadets. I know there's a new coach at FFHS, but River has enough talent on both sides of the ball to get the win. Pilots made playoffs last season and should start off strong in '08 with a win, by say, 33-6. I'll say 2 TD passes by Dylan Potts and double-...

Too much offense for Miller to handle in this Blue Devil team. I will suggest Miller punt every punt out of bounds, and if you have to, throw a lot because Beallsville's run 'D' is pretty solid. Beallsville should score on every offensive possession in the first half, and prolly a few TDs will come ...
