I'm not saying that Grace is going to win this game. I'm also not saying they don't have a chance. Lets not forget Grace beat a strong well respected CPA team this fall in a srimage 1-0. CPA is expected by alot of people to do big things this year. All I'm saying is do not look past this team. That little RB #1 is better than you think.

Silverdale will not win this game! I feel very confident in that statement. Silverdale as not proven they can win the game. Last years ride of success at the close of the season is misleading. Silverdale had wins over Whitwell and Copper. Whitwell missed key players on both sides of the ball due to injury that would have made a big difference in the game. Copper was just bad last year. Silverdale has yet to prove anything this year. Their scrimages didn't prove anything maybe a scrimage with Boyd would have given us something, but wait, they backed out at the last late the light before. Their two wins over Oliver and Riverside are a joke. Oliver and Silverdale both looked bad in that game, Oliver just looked a little worse. Riverside is a first year varsity program that could be the weakest team in the state. Still no proof. Grace lost to a healthy Whitwell last year. Defense did not play well at all. The offense had nearly 500 yards of production, had at least 3 dive stall with turnovers on downs inside the Whitwell 20. Did not play well,lost and should have. Grace should have lost to Copper but the fact that they played for one quarter and scored 28 straight points to end the game and win proves they could have very easily beaten up on them like Silverdale did. Grace played a weak 4A Central team to a tie that included two droped passes that would have scored. Silverdale played Notre Dame to a tie. Central beat on ND like the red headed step child. Grace played a well respected and strong CPA team to a 1-0 win. All of these things equal to a Grace win. I like Grace by 14 in an emotionally charged game. I could also be wrong.
