WK1 Valley @ Portsmouth

[lineman7]

How did Portsmouth look in their scrimmages? Who are the key players for them? Are they big up front? Do they have speed like usual? How did the defense tackle?

[wobycat]

At the previews, Portsmouth was very balanced on offense and appeared to be coached well in that area. Defensively they didn't look good at all. Obviously they weren't showing many packages but it was the non pursuit, poor tackling that was concerning. I think Portsmouth is on the way up but not this time. Valley 35- Portsmouth 21

Taking the Trojans in a close one.

I might just be able to get on up to Portsmouth and take this one it. It's always good to catch a game at the new stadium.

Don't see Portsmouth winning this one. Just hoping to see some improvements under coach Duncan. Hoping to at least make it a competitive game & to see some tackles lol. Go Trojans!

This game has been very close over the last few years will Valley taking all 3 matchups by a combined 22 points. It is hard to say how this one will go, but I expect a focused effort from the Indians. If Portsmouth hasn't improved tremendously from a tackling standpoint, I expect Valley to put up more than enough points to win this game. The Indians can score quickly and in bunches. They are balanced and physical.

Portsmouth seems to always have some kids that can score from anywhere so they are dangerous. I think Valley comes out and sets the tone early and pounds the running game in the 2nd half to pull away and win comfortably.

Valley 42
Portsmouth 13

Most games start at 7 this year, but some are still 7:30. I know Burg has 2 games at 7:30 (Ironton and Jackson) and the other 8 are all at 7:00

[Anonymous_Falcon_Fan]

Either this game will get really ugly very quickly, or it will be tight until the 4th qtr. Either way, at some point, Valley will wear down Portsmouth in the trenches and win the season opener.

[Izladoom]

Kinda surprised Portsmouth is not running the shotgun spread anymore and went to a pro style offense

[TrojanXplosion]

The Indians bring the crap storm to Portsmouth. Trojans better have umbrellas ready.

56-13

[Izladoom]

I do not see this being a blow out. Valley 42 Portsmouth 34
