Powell starting left guard is out, and Central has 4 starters out to my knowledge, 2 starting corners, and there starting safety are 3 of the 4 out for Central. 

So Central is missing  3/4 of their starting secondary?  That could be too much to overcome against Plow and their passing game.

the thing that central has adapted to so well since the 2016 season, they neutralize your best player/strength and take that away. they’ve taken a page from the rebel/tornado handbook and it’s worked well. we’ll see if they can do the same tomorrow night. 

They would have to take away a lot.  Powell has players all over the field on offense.  I don't believe they will be able to take away all of them.  Not to mention there starting safety and 2 starting corners are not playing.

Looks like Powell will look for another opponent for next week. Halls has shut everything down until 10/5. This also impacts Central, since they were scheduled to play Halls on 10/2.

......so I go back to one of my original thoughts, they have to get to Potts to have a chance.

Agreed. Also, Central’s best defense may be their offense. Powell is weak up front defensively, so if Central can sustain some drives and keep Powell’s offense off the field, they have a great chance to win it.

Could be way off, but I’m taking Central 35-14. I think Central controls Potts, plus gets it going on offense against a weak Powell D

To be the man, you've gotta beat the man. Powell just doesn't have the defense yet. Both teams have only had a couple of days to prepare for this one, so I'm interested to see who benefits from the lack of prep time.

Give me Central, 27-21.

Giving Powell the slight edge......watched their QB do some voodoo magic stuff rarely seem on a high school football field?!
