WK 8: Athens (2-5) @ Wellston (3-4)

[NY BUCK]

I think Athens gets win number 3.

[93Bulldog]

Kind of an important game.
Athens has just 1 league loss, VC & NY still have to play and Athens hosts NY week 10.
A 3-way tie for first is still on the table.

Athens is getting better every week. Gotta contain Molihan this week

[Ironman92]

No idea

[noreply66]

Athens with a ton of passing yards wins this one.

[NY BUCK]

I’ve watched Athens on channel 15 a few times. They seem to be finding their groove. They are really young and won’t be “down” for long.

Game Day Rockets ! Good luck and bring home the win. Injury free and safe travels for both teams.

[GRFan]

Huge win for the Rockets. First win against Athens since 2008. 3-1 in the TVC, still in the hunt. Great job!

[noreply66]

Didn't see that score coming

[buckeyes05]

Found their groove? They shoot their shot early and hang around with sub par opponents for a bit....
