SOC2: Portsmouth West (5-2) @ Lucasville Valley (6-1)

[sportsmr]

Should be a heck of a game, going with the Indians because of there ability to throw the football well.

Keep thinking we are weak. Yes Minford out played us and yes they did beat up on us but we are not that bad of team. Valley will give us everything they have. I'm not saying West is going to beat Valley but whoever wins this one I believe it will be close!

If West is healthy (I know several played sick Sat)...then I'll go with West in this matchup. Hope they work on the extra point and kicking game this week in practice.

I find it funny that before the game last week when these rumors were coming out that everyone denied them.

I agree Cameron. Those who are predicting a 3 TD win by Valley must be trying to stir the pot. Noway will that happen. I just hope Valley can compete with Oaf's powerful Div IV team.

I was at Logan last year supporting your team. Granted the outcome wasn't desireable but the team comes to play. Losing to a very good Minford team doesn't mean the Siders are a weak team. That in itself is laughable.

Valley will come to play. Whether that's good enough remains to be seen. It should be another good SOC game. It seems like every week there is a good matchup. That's great for the league, teams, and communities.

I'll take Valley 21-18 because its at home and their passing.

[The Oaf]

Got some if ya need it......

Got some

[preps_fan1980]

should be a good one for sure. Valley seems to be playing pretty well right now, but West will be playing with an angry desire after their loss to Minford...I'll go with Valley by 3 just because it's at Valley. Good luck to both teams.

V 34-19

I think West is a bit angry and embarrassed after the Minford game. I think they have more to prove than any other SOC II school this weekend too.

I also think they will probably get in a little "extra" conditioning from the fine coaching staff at West and will be ready to play.

I havent made my weekly picks yet but I am leaning on Valley.

Why? Well because I particuarly like one of their posters, OAF. Some dont like him, but I am pulling for him and his Siders this weekend! And my mother is a West graduate, and after the antics after the game last year between Valley and Minford, I guess I just cant root for a sore loser. Ever.

West beats Valley and it also helps my Falcons too

GO SIDERS! (Wow that came off the fingertips pretty naturally!)

[OST]

I think Valley is determined for respect as Minford has been the past 3 years, And personally think they're going to come out an attack the senators strength before they do there soft spot. I can see Valley running the ball just enough to bring those Safetys up an then they can open up with the Play action all night. West will run right at them but they're going to need some type of passing game or they won't be able to pull the win off here. My prediction is 20-12 Valley

[The Oaf]

Why didn't Valley beat Waverly 65-14 too?????

VALLEY WALKS

doesnt matter who they were missing.....if they cant stop the pass Valley will stay in the game.

[TheMan]

the only way valley can win is by passing they dont have the talent at rb to run on west.....i jus dont see west gettin beat two weeks straight
