(8-0) Clay Co. @ (3-5) York

[Boarhog]

I definitely favor Clay in this one, but York should present the biggest challenge the Dawgs have had in several weeks.  Thoughts about this renewed series?  It’s been awhile since the teams have met.

York by 7.

Dawgs athleticism gives them some late scores to pull away in the end and win by 14.

This has the potential to be a pretty good game.

I think so too Croz.  Clay is approaching 100 percent health for the first time all season, so it’ll be interesting to see how much some guys are used.  It’s no secret that the Dawgs have been wanting to get back to Turney Ford ever since the buzzer sounded in the second round last year and with that game looming so close finally, distractions could occur too.  This current bunch of Dawgs are gamers though so I think the only people looking past York are “has been’s” (more like “never was’s) like me.  I say the Dawgs take this one and go to 9-0, but it’ll be a hard fought 4 quarters that hopefully prepares the Black and Gold for the Big Blue on the 29th!

Things will definitely have to change up on the mountain for this one to be close.... York is playing uninspired football to say the least.... the pride of defending the mountain is gone lately....

Is Arms going to be able to play?

He suited up for the first time since the second game last week against Grundy, but never went in.  Obviously the goal is to have him up to speed for you guys so I imagine he’ll play some snaps on both sides of the ball against York to shake the rust off. 

[Jimmycroc]

Getting Arms ready is a must for this week. Should be a good game, I still stay with my prediction of Clay by 14. We gotta find more consistency in our run game to keep defenses honest heading into the playoffs.

Any of the Clay County posters know how the kid who was hurt at the very end of the Westmoreland game is doing?

He dislocated his elbow and sat out of RBS and Scott, then made a full return against Grundy.  A good and tough kid.  Key part of the Dawg success.
