South Doyle @ Powell

Who you got? Score predictions?

impossible to call.  Game of the week here.

Boy, I really don't know what to expect in this one. This is a BIG game for Powell's psyche, although I wonder how much Lowe and Duncan will show in this game since it has no bearing on playoff positioning.

The Panthers showed a ton of resolve in their comeback against OR, but early mistakes have killed them in their last two games. SD can certainly run the ball, and that has been Powell's Achilles' Heel all season. I think we're going to see a similar result again this week - Until Powell slows a power running team (like SD), I don't see them getting the W.

 No way they can take 3 losses in a row and recover.

Powell 35 SD 24. Powell made a season full of mistakes against OR. Hopefully got that out of their system. SD has a very good d-line and will present a challenge running the ball like they did in the 2nd half against OR. Coach needs to turn QB loose and let him throw down the field to all those talented receivers.

What did they do against West??

I look for a low score! SD's defense is tough, but I don't know that the offense can put up a lot of points on Powell. Both teams had several turnovers last week. That will decide this one as well. SD in a close one!

This game won't be close. Powell will annihilate them

I agree with this. Powell should win this game running away, but can SD create opportunities and take possessions away from Powell. First 2-3 possessions from Powell will probably determine how the game will go.

The biggest challenge for both coaching staffs will be to keep the players emotions in check, given what was alleged and then not proved from last year's game.  

There is certainly no love lost between these two right now.

I haven't heard of this... what was alleged?
