Clay County @ Westmoreland

[OldTownRoad]

This will be a barnburner if anything like the last two years. With both teams having their respective de facto region title games at home later in the year, this should prove to be a great test for both teams. Westmoreland was Clay's toughest non-region opponent last year, despite being down.  I predict the first team to score 20 wins.

Maynard being a new coach over there will make this even more interesting. The Eagles should respect Clay co for sure after the last 2 homecoming wins. By the way, this is westmorelands homecoming!

This will be a good one

This is a under the radar game in the midstate this week, should be a great gauge on Clay County and another good test for the Eagles!

The 2020 game was the best high school game I have ever watched. The 2021 game could've went differently if Westmoreland didn't get greedy in the last two minutes and start throwing the ball.

Eagles should have won the past two years and I blamed both those losses on being young and under experienced.... can't blame it on that this year!

Agree with others on this one. Two good teams facing off this coming Friday. Good measuring stick for both teams.

Yep,Eagles will be most likely  be 3-0 in Region and coming off fall break when ER comes to town 10/14.  Good news is this team isnt looking ahead like i am. This Friday night will be another close one.

I hope you right but celina has made believers out of the players on this team the last few times we have played. They also have a lot of tradition up there that these kids have probably heard about from their parents that played years ago. I hope westmoreland comes out with business on their minds

I don't believe it will be a three score margin by either team. I don't believe Westmoreland will play fast enough to score 28. However, it is not impossible for Westmoreland to hold Clay County to 7 if everything goes their way. The Eagles done a great job last year of controlling the clock in Celina and dominated time of possession. The last three games have been 21-12 Eagles, 27-22 Dawgs (should have been 19-14 Dawgs if not for back to back kickoff returns in the last minute of the game resulting in touchdowns), and 21-14 Dawgs. Seems that 3 scores is the magic number to win the game.
