Minford @ Valley January 18th

[TheNatural]

Looking forward to this one. I'll take the Indians at home as they seem to have the falcons number. 8) 75-71

I am going out on a limb and calling for the team who scores the most will win!

[eagles 89]

I think Minford has figured out that McCray is the best player and the offense must go thru him on as many possessions as possible. I look for this to be a very close game and I would think it comes down to who can stay out of foul trouble McCray or Dunn. I would be curious to see how this game is called.........especially for the 2 post players. I think the falcons have an edge at 3 or 4 positions (including bench players) and will come out on top in this one. I would expect Minford to win by 9 after making some free throws at the end.

I think you may be right. Minford seems to have began to play team ball and not try to get one player with 30 pts each night. The SOCII could very well come down to the last week of the season and have 2-3 teams fighting it out right down to the last game. This is the most important game of the year so far for Minford (for the SOC as well as sectional seeding).

It's GAMEDAY Falcons!
Go out there and play hard and bring home a win!

Go Falcons!
Beat Indians! :aaaaa26

[Eaglesnest]

Should be a very good game. Minford is better and should win, but Valley proved the best team doesn't always win. At Valley it will be a battle.

I think the Falcons have to much. Falcons by 10. But, I still would not be shocked if the Indians do it again.

That type of theme has been expressed about Valley all year in both football and basketball. So I guess please keep on doubting and adding fuel to the fire seems like those Valley boys do best when all the doubters show up!!!!

You have my vote on the best post of the year thats sums up both of Valleys football and basketball seasons they just dont quit...!!!!

Won't even be close . Valley at Home and Scott Rolffe nuff said .............

Really looking forward to taking this one in, I haven't been to a game for a while... had the flu this past weekend and haven't felt like getting out of the house.

Minford is playing well and have shaken off the early season problems to go on a nice roll. Valley seemed to fight through a few games, winning all but the Oak Hill game, and look to be playing well just in time for this one. The Indians are the one team in the conference with the size to bang with McCray and plenty of athletes to play the Falcons on the perimeter. I think Coach Rolfe and his staff will have the Indians prepared and their depth will be a huge factor. I'm taking the Indians 68-63, in a classic heated battle. This game should be well worth the price of admission! Good luck to both squads!

[Falcon Fury]

I'm sure the Falcons are prepared as well. Minford has been playing well together and has finally found their game. Should definitely be worth the price of admission.

TIME TO SHINE FALCONS!!! Play solid boys and stay focused!!

GO FALCONS!

[SOCMAN05]

The last time Minford has beaten Valley was in the Villenger era 2010 since then Valley has reeled off 5 straight wins against the Falcons , there is a reason for that !
