Friday Night Football Preview – 10/16/09

Vernon (4-2) at Sneads (3-2) 7 pm – The Pirates had last week off as they prepared for their district contest and homecoming game against the Yellow Jackets. Vernon started out 3-0 with wins over Chipley Bozeman and Baker. They then lost to Holmes Co. and Freeport before bouncing back last week to beat Jay 20-13. Sneads, 3-1 in district play, needs to beat Vernon to stay in the hunt for the playoffs. Four teams are currently at the head of the pack in district play: Freeport (4-0), South Walton (4-1), Sneads (3-1) and Northview (3-1). Mark Lawson continues to lead the Pirates offensively as he has over 500 yards in rushing and 12 TDs. Jamar White leads the “D” with 37 tackles and 18 assist.

Marianna (3-3) at Blountstown (5-0) 7 pm – Marianna arguably played their best game of the season last week, and still fell by 21 points to a very good Pensacola Catholic team. The Bulldogs will face another tough road test, their third in a row, this week when they travel to Calhoun County to take on Blountstown. The Tigers have wins over Sneads, Chipley, Wewa, Graceville and West Gadsden. Strength of schedule may play into Marianna’s favor as the Bulldogs last four opponents have a combined record of 14-8. Blountstown’s last four opponents have a combined record of 5-16. Blountstown is always a tough place to get a win but if Marianna can play as well this week as they did last week they have a good shot to pick up the win.

Graceville (1-4) at Liberty County (4-1) 6:30 pm - The Tigers played hard against FAMU but fell 18-16 in Tallahassee. The Tigers get another tough road contest this week when they travel to Bristol to take on Liberty County. The Bulldogs are a solid squad, with their only loss coming in a 20-12 loss on the road to a good Port St. Joe team. Graceville will have to try and slow down the trio of Terrance Evans (QB) along with Keith and Kevin McCray. The trio has rushed for almost 1,000 yards and accounted for 13 of the Bulldogs 17 touchdowns so far.

Cottondale (0-6) – Open Date – The Hornets ran into another buzz saw last Friday night in a 53-14 loss to Jefferson County. Cottondale just can not seem to catch a break as their schedule continues to be one of the toughest around. They’ll get this week off and begin preparations for a district road contest against Rocky Bayou.
