Thursday/Friday Night Football Preview – 9/16 & 9/17, 2010

Marianna (1-1) at Bay (1-1) 7pm Thursday

The Bulldogs travel to Panama City on Thursday for a match up with Bay at Tommy Oliver Stadium. Marianna is coming off two close games with county rivals (win over Cottondale; loss to Graceville). Graceville shut down Tre Jackson but Chris Bowers and Scooter Barnes each rushed for over 100 yards. The Bulldog defense though has been hit hard through the air in their first two games. Bay High opened with a big win over Port St. Joe and then lost 25-23 to Mosley last week. That’s the same Dolphin team that handed the Bulldogs a 42-21 loss in the kickoff classic game three weeks ago.

Maclay (0-2) at Cottondale (1-1) 7pm

Speaking of close games, the Hornets are coming off two close games as well (loss to Marianna; win over Franklin). In both contest the Hornets got off to slow starts but then came on strong in the second half. Dominique Webb continues to be the go to man on the ground but QB CJ Smith can hurt defenses with his arm. Maclay has losses to Wewahitchka and Liberty County. They have been outscored in these two games 97-27 so the potent Hornet offense has a chance to put up some big numbers and get their second win of the season.



Sneads (0-2) at Holmes County (1-0) 7 pm

The Pirates have gotten off to a rough start as they have been outscored 53-6 in their first two outings. Things may not get any easier this week as they travel to Bonifay to take on Holmes County. The Blue Devils had an open date the first week of the season and they posted a 36-0 road win over Jay last Friday night. It is difficult to say this early in the year if Holmes County is that good, Jay is that bad or combination of both. Either way the Pirates will need to stop Blue Devils Kodi and Ethan Russ. The pair combined for almost 450 yards of offense in the win over Jay.



Graceville (1-1) – open

The Tigers get to relish their win over Marianna a little longer than normal as they have an open date this weekend. In the meantime they are preparing for their road trip to Franklin County on 9/24/10.
