WEEK 8: Wahama (6-0) @ South Gallia (5-1, 6-1)

[Rvbballdude]

My prediction: My alma mater Wahama by 4 td's (S. Gallia has played no one yet, Symmes Valley game will be the only other possible blip on their record, will they make the playoff's at 7-3, ?????).

South Gallia will give Wahama all they want, i think this will be the most physical team Wahama has played.

SG 21 Hama 15

This is our week:

1. A buddy of mine who works at a plant has confirmed Wahama will be weaker this week but it is injuries not suspension that has them limping through practice. Apparently the QB is having some issues with his health.

2. Peck has these guys primed to stop the single wing that wahama runs.

3. We at home baybee!

My pick:

South Gallia 33
Wahama 7

Let's not get carried away! I do think SG has a shot in this game but if they are fortunate enough to prevail it will be a dog fight. The coaches have done a great job with this team and I am confident Peck, James and the rest will have the boys ready! I can't wait till Friday night!

Wahama 14

I'm hoping south gallia beats wahama cuz I hate wahama as much as I hate eastern....with that said wahama Is a really good team that will go deep n playoff but if they were to play someone like ny or valley then they would take a beating...just my opinion...Go Rebels from Tornado Country

[Mercerville Monster]

Looks like it's going to be a cold one tomorrow night. Let's just hope for no rain.

[Futurebkstar]

South Gallia beat Wahama last year in basketball. My prediction is:

South Gallia 28
Wahama 21

I hope I'm right. Go rebels.

30 % chance of rain at kickoff... Temp in the low 60's... 17 mph wind.... The rebels have not been the best in rain.. Hope it holds off

This just in: The SG endzone menu for Friday now features White Falcon, grilled or deep fried. The platter comes with chili, or it's available as a sandwich on a sour dough roll with your choice of BBQ sauce, sweet-n-sour sauce, or tobasco.

As far as this game goes, I compiled season stats on both of these teams last week.

GAME OF THE YEAR between two OVP schools, easy. I wish I could be there, but we have it covered and there are other things to do Friday night.

The winner gets a big boost in the playoff ratings. That's my prediction.

Good luck to both teams.

bdubya......Extremely well-explained on the situation as you and I have discussed.

Looks like the Day of Reckoning has finally come on this matter.

When folks try to fight — or altogether bypass — copyright laws, it's a disastrous chain of events.

Indeed, they are in place for a reason.

I am interested in 93Bulldog's response, but there isn't an argument against this case.

[Rebelcat]

And now to get back to the game. I am going to say South Gallia 24-22 in a nail biter. It's going to come down to SG protecting the ball and capitalizing on any opportunities Wahama presents in the way of turnovers. The first quarter in this game is huge for SG in terms of confidence.

Good luck Rebels! Bring home a win and possible TVC Hocking Championship! (depending on next weeks Waterford game)

[Mercerville Monster]

The rebels have not been the best in rain..

Kinda what I was thinking. If SG can stop the run up the middle Wahama will have the same trouble trying to break it to the outside as well. Rebels need a big play in the first quarter to get their confidence going as they seem to play Mich better when theys score on the opening drive. Seems like when they start out slow on the first drive it takes them a while to get it going.

I think it will come down to line play honestly. SG's line has been stronger than every team they played this year and have just physically outmatched them by opening up big running lanes for the backs. If they can open up holes against Wahama they will eventually get tired of tackling SGs big backs and SG will start reeling off big chunks of yards. The Rebels are gonna have to be physical for all 4 quarters and try to wear Wahama down cause I believe this one is going to be decided in the fourth quarter. Should be a good one in a jam packed Mercerville tonight!!!

[seohhoops]

This is Richard with Big Country 99. Of someone could PM to text me score updates that would be awesome. I know Mercerville doesn't have the best service. But I am hopeful. Good luck to both teams.

[Rebels on 3]

Lets go Rebels. This could be the biggest win in South Gallia football history. 35-21 Rebels

[Vladd]

It would be awesome to hear South Gallia won this one. Pulling for the under dog all the way..Good Luck Rebels. Hope for a injury free game on both teams.
