Friday Night Football Preview – 10/2/09

Marianna (3-1) at Liberty Co. (2-1) at 7 pm CST – The Bulldogs are coming off a thrilling overtime district win against Walton Co.. Once again running back R.J. Bowers was the go to man for the Bulldogs, as he rushed for over 149 yards, scoring a late TD and 2 point run to send the game into overtime. QB Fidel Montgomery had a big night as well with 3 TDs, including the game winner in OT. But Marianna will face a tough road test this week in Liberty County. The boys from Bristol took it to Marianna in the preseason jamboree and were unbeaten before falling to Port St. Joe 20-12 last week. Simply Put, it will be a dog fight.

Chipley (0-3) at Cottondale (0-4) 7 pm – Both teams are looking for their first win of the season. Cottondale fell to FAMU in their district opener last week and desperately needs a win. The Hornets have the athletes but their schedule (3 straight games on the road and then home to FAMU) has been a killer. Chipley has a new head coach but he is familiar to Jackson County. Rob Armstrong left Marianna to go to Chipley and is a proven winner. But the Tigers are young and inexperienced and have been taking their lumps so far this season falling in close games to Vernon, Wewa and Blountstown. Somebody will get their first win of the season and hopefully it will be the Hornets.



Sneads (2-2) at Jay (1-1 ) 7 pm – The Pirates lost to Freeport last week for their first district loss of the season. Sneads will need to eliminate their turnovers and penalties in order to be in the ballgame. But they need to get a win over the Royals in order to stay in the hunt for the district title or runner up spot. On paper Jay looks similar to Sneads in that they have beaten Holmes County and fell to Freeport. Mark Lawson continues to lead the Pirates as he is averaging just at 100 yards per game in rushing.

Blountstown (3-0) at Graceville (1-2) 7 pm - The Tigers got a much needed win last Friday night with a shut out win over the Seahawks of Franklin County. After two opening losses in which turnovers killed the Tigers they took care of business with the ball and played a solid game. They will host a Blountstown team that has gotten off to a fast start with wins over Sneads and Chipley. They followed those two wins with a 39-27 win over Wewahitchka last week. Simply Put, this will be a cat fight
