Re: Spartan Classic 12/27 & 28 @ Alexander High School
Pfloyd you know the teams, players and coaches as well or better than anyone. Having said that, I'm not sure Fairland can play with Warren. Every game is just one experience so who knows all the factors that will influence the outcome. The Warriors need a win and their reportedly uninspired effort against Monroe Central was noted by some observers who attended the game Thursday night.
If Warren brings the intensity, I think they win by 12-15 points. I think they are a little deeper and more physical. If they don't "bring it" look for OT tonight.
