Week 11: #7 Nelsonville-York @ #2 Lucasville Valley

[Bo_Diaz]

Hard to predict if you only see one team play. I wasn't however impressed with the Indians. NY could very well win this game.

You got to see the Indians the week after their first loss in 4 years, in a dead stadium, one day after their coach had a 4 way by-pass. Yet even with all that, they held your team to negative yards through 3 quarters and the quarterback set the single game td pass record.

I could set a record in this game.....

Sure ya could, Uncle Rico!

Rooting for the Buckeyes to pull off the upset.

Good luck and good health to both teams.

How's the injury report out of Indian country or is that close hold info?

Four weeks ago, I'd say Valley in a route, but NY has grown up a bit the 2nd half of the season, so anything can happen. It was good experience to play Athens leading into this game, so if they play a solid game, who knows.

Go Bucks!

I think this will be a close game, but I think the Indians will be too much on their own field plus you gotta back the SOC teams! I see Valley winning 42-28.

Valley's #23 played against Minford but was still not 100% (he played mostly on defense and only a few plays on offense) he is a different maker for Valley and without him on offense they lose the ability to stretch the field in every direction. His ability to get outside opens up the middle for Valley's other runners, and really limits Valley's play calling (as witnessed in the Burg and Minford games).

#50 was still out against Minford, no idea if he will play or not

I think a few kids were held out/limited snaps because going into the game, Valley was locked at no worse than a #4 seed. Nothing to gain by beating Minford, other than an 8 in the W column vs. a 7; I look for everyone to be in the lineup this weekend. I'm sure the Indians still have a few nagging injuries, but I've heard they getting healthier.

Guess we will see at gametime.

This will be the second all-time meeting between the Buckeyes and Indians. NY won the first meeting in the 1998 playoffs at Athens High School by a score of 21-14. That was the only loss on the season for Valley that year, as the Indians entered the game 10-0 and finished 10-1. That was also the last playoff game NY has won since then.

NY leads all-time series 1 win, 0 losses

1998 Nelsonville-York (N) 21-14

What is the all time playoff record of the Buckeyes now?

I think the game plan will be solid. It all comes down to execution and I think the Bucks will.
NY 26
VALLEY 24

[nutronron2012]

Should be a great game. NY last playoff win was against Valley 16 years ago at Athens. I think Valley will win this one. Hope to see the Buckeyes bring a lot of fans down. Will be a great football atmosphere. We Valley fans have enjoyed Boston Field the last couple years. Hope the Buckeyes come down and enjoy ours.
