The tempo of West's offense has really given Powell problems tonight. The same thing happened in the second half of their previous matchup. West couldn't move the ball at all, until they adjusted after halftime and sped up their tempo. Great coaching by Lamar Brown so far.
Powell has been unable to run the ball at all. Wheeler has less than 10 yards in the first half.
I know everyone keeps talking about the weather, but I don't think it's going to be a factor tonight. There's no lightning associated with this front, and it's going to be drizzly/spotty at worst.
Biggest question is whether #2 will play tonight.
I've got a fever (thanks to my kiddos), so I'll be watching this one from the couch. I don't think it's going to rain very much tonight, but I worry that the threat of weather will keep a lot of folks at home.
Should be a great game tonight. As close as the first one was, I expect to see the same the second time around.
Good luck to both teams, and hopefully everyone can stay healthy!
Clinton is definitely playing their best football right now. I thought they would fold it up after they lost to Powell, OR, and AC in consecutive weeks, but they stayed composed and are playing very well.
I'll admit, when I was watching, it felt like OR thought they could just go through the motions in the second half and win. Hats off to Clinton for their performance after halftime.
Wow, Clinton squib kicks the ball off of an OR up-back, and the Dragons recover.
But the play is waved off for a very questionable off-side call. I've watched the replay 3 times, and I'm not sure that kick was off-side.
Clinton takes the lead with just under 4 min to play, 24-21. With the exception of two goal line stands, OR's defense hasn't been able to stop Clinton in the 2nd half.
OR hasn't been able to get a lot going on offense this half, and Clinton has moved the ball at will.
OR leads 21-18 with 5 min to play, but Clinton has it at the OR 36.
