I was right about everything I said in the Dresden/Mckenzie game except the score. Dresden senior quarterback was making his 2nd start and I didn't realize how good he is. I didn't mean any disrespect to Huntington. Your fans/parents say that you don't have the talent to throw it all over the field and for the most part that is true. At least you stay in your lane every year without manipulating your #s to win a state championship. Back to Union City you have a center/ guard combination that most real single A teams can't match up against plus a big strong quarterback that can get 3 or 4 yards every carry. Dresden made adjustments the 1st game and shut Union City down in the 2nd half except for one drive. Dresden like most single A teams have a lot of players playing both ways and the heat started to get to them. Heat won't be a factor Friday night. Your radio announcers at the game said basically the same thing that Dresden was starting to wear down. Union City may win but I don't see it. Enjoy your 2 year stay in single A

I dont get the excitement from towns that run triple option, veer offense. My son played travel baseball with kids from Huntington and their parents were the same way . To hear them talk it's the greatest offense in football. It's boring football to watch and if you get down by a couple scores running it the game is over. Union City has talent all over the feild and year after year run the same 10 or 12 plays. It works until they play a well coached team that matches up physically. This game will go the same way it did when Dresden won the state championship. The 1st game was close and the 2nd game wasn't.

I saw the Dresden/Westview game and watched Mckenzie play Huntington. Mckenzie don't have any receivers as big or as physical as the kid from Westview plus he was the fastest kid on the feild The Qb from Mckenzie is better than Westviews but his guys are possession receivers (10 to 15 yards) . Dresden will be a bigger challenge to stop offensively than Huntington was ( they aren't running an offense from the eighties) After watching both teams play I would give Mckenzie a 7 to 10 point edge
