Friday Night Football Preview – 9/10/10

Graceville (0-1) at Marianna (1-0) 7pm

The Bulldogs survived a scare from one county rival with a 4 point win over Cottondale. Now another county rival comes a callin’ as Graceville comes to town. Marianna got plenty of offense from Tre Jackson (143 yards rushing / 1 TD). But they also had four turnovers and gave up over 300 yards of offense by the Hornets. Graceville hung in with Northview until late in the first half. The Tigers like to throw on the arm of Jacky Miles and run on the legs of Darae Laster. On paper Marianna probably has the edge but when two county teams get together you can toss out the paper.

Franklin County (0-1) at Cottondale (0-1) 7pm

The Hornets must shake off a heartbreaking 26-22 loss to their county rival Marianna. The Hornets played well enough to win and took a lead with less than two minutes to play. Cottondale proved that they are vastly improved from last season and have plenty of weapons on offense to play with anybody. Franklin County opened up the regular season with a 27-0 loss to another flock of Seahawks in South Walton. Cottondale has a great chance to pick up a win if they play their game and limit turnovers.



Sneads (0-1) at Baker (0-1) 7 pm

The Pirates had a disappointing start to the regular season last week in a 33-6 loss to Blountstown. Xavier Eutsay managed to rush for over 100 yards for the second straight week but it was not enough as the Tigers took advantage of four Pirate fumbles. The Baker Gators fell hard in their season opener as well with a 49-20 loss to the Crestview Bulldogs. Before Pirate fans get to excited about that loss by the Gators they need to remember Crestview is a Class 4A school and Baker is a Class 1A school. It’s a long trip to Baker but Sneads should match up well with the Gators.
