Upperman @ Smith County

First district game for the owls. Im thinkin owls take this one. Impressed with the offenses versatility. Defense looked good. I expect them to improve week to week. A lot of emerging talent showed up last night.

28-21 SC takes this one.

28-21 SC takes this one.

I think the margin of victory will be bigger than that. Sc is devoloping a pretty dynamic offense with alot of talent that is stepping up. They should improve week to week. Ill take sc by 14 or more

I'm gonna be optimistic and say 35-28 UHS in a close one. I saw lots of potential last night and they're gonna come ready to play. I wouldn't overlook them. Edited August 30, 2014 by JohnnyRay

I like that prediction. He said the same thing last week for SC. 32 points is a wide margin and it could have been bigger very easily.

The playcalling was pretty vanilla, I guess they didn't have to do anything fancy against MHS. Luckily for SC Philips isn't York but he was reminding me of him on a few plays. The receiver corps is young but Philips has a lot more options to throw to. Two receivers I took note of were Guffey and I think Leckenby, they were very agile and shifty and hard to tackle. Butler runs hard and is capable of moving the chains if defenses give him the room.

Still spread uptempo JohnnyRay?

Yup. But I think the tempo seemed a little slower because they weren't busting it in the endzone as often and were eating up the clock instead. Either way this game should be fun to watch. Edited August 30, 2014 by JohnnyRay

First district challenge for both teams. The winner will keep pace with LA for the top spot. I agree with you that when teams are scoring quick it makes the uptempo seem too much to handle.

I know its breaking tradition to not be a huge homer on these boards but Smith Co takes this one by a less margin than once thought. Upperman has turned the corner though and will be a long time before Montery beats us again.... thank god
