Well Powell is never over-confident, so watch out...

That's Powell Achilles Heel to me. Now , Powell should win this game and advance.

I haven't seen as much as one play on video of Walker Valley, so I really can't tell much about them.  Looking at the schedule I see that they beat a decent East Hamilton team, and played Bradley Central and Rhea County close, both on the road, which is all I have to go by.  

Powell has been really inconsistent since about mid season on.  They are still very explosive offensively, but most inconsistent on the defensive side of the ball.  Opposing defenses have a book on the young sophomore QB, now, and are bringing more pressure.  The kid is an awesome talent, but he's still a young QB.  His upside is that he can pull it down and get yards.  

All of that said, I believe Powell will score points this week.  Walker Valley gave up points against the aforementioned two teams that they lost close games to, and I have seen those two teams quite a bit on video.  Powell's offense is every bit as good as those two teams, if not better, from what I observe.  

Powell is going to score unless they pull a turnover fest like they did in the first half at Oak Ridge.  I'd be surprised if they don't win by a couple of scores.  

Both of those games they had impact players out due to contact tracing. Not making excuses.... just clarifying.

I'm concerned for Powell in this.  Their only two losses were road trips.  This is their longest road trip yet.  Agree they should win, but I thought that for certain about the OR game too.

This is gonna be tough on Powell. With a a Swiss cheese defense, they’re gonna have to score a lot I’d imagine. Gotta be tough on a young qb

I didn't even think of the added pressure this week after Mr. Football nomination.

Could be and issue. Pressure. Pressure. Pressure. Can he handle it? Try to force one or two too many balls in a tight game would be a killer.

The Kid is gonna be alright in this one!
