Piketon(13) @ (28)Waverly

[smurray]

Waverly looked really good at the 7 on 7 Friday. I know we can't rely on 7 on 7's but the Tigers have some special skill players.
Looking forward to checking them out, especially the lines, the first scrimmage against Miami Trace.

You have time and date for that scrimmage?

[smurray]

First scrimmage is against Miami Trace two weeks before week one. I don't have the time.

I look for this to be a upset. I see a bigger,stronger and faster Piketon team heading north for this game. I see the look in these kids eyes like I have never seen before. This year they are seeking to prove that last year was not a Joke (that is to all the SVC people who always say Piketon will go 5 and 5) They have a lot to prove after getting butt punched at ZT last year. They have filled the gaps left by the 2 kids that graduated last year Gabe and Veach. I think they are going to make a lot of people change their thinking once the season starts. Ladies and Gentlemen watch out for the lighting, and get ready for the BOOM! The STREAKS are coming to a town near you!

Who does Piketon scrimmage?

Minford and EAST

I think Waverly's offense won't miss a beat if the line, Drew K, and Clayton stays healthy. Defense will be a question mark. One returning linebacker (who is playing a new position) can be challenging. Also replacing 7 starters on defense will be a challenge (nose, DE, corner, 4 linebackers)

That being said, I like the tigers in this one.

I agree, the offense should be very explosive if they remain healthy.
Tigers lost a very very good LB and a very very good CB (two of the best in the area last year). Thompson will anchor the LB core and hope we have a couple others who will step up. Losing Cade Marquez at the corner was huge but the Tigers seemed to have reloaded at the DB positions.
While we lost a good DE in Gilbert we return one of the best in area in Gage Savely. Looking for Gage to have a monster year.
I think the biggest area of concern and question is the Linebacking core. It will take "the next man up" mentality.

How did Piketon look in their scrimmage yesterday? Was that against Minford or East?

Ditto. Waverly names the score unless it's a turnover fest.

After seeing the scrimmages I think Waverly has too much speed and playmakers for the Streaks in this one. Piketon has very nice line play on both sides of the ball. If they are able to grind out some drives and chew some clock, they may be able to pull off the win.

[Sports-nut]

Pretty sure the Redstreaks game plan is long time consuming drives to keep the Tigers offense off the field. The Tiger defense needs to step up and keep the ball in Howell and companies hands.

Waverly easy.

Waverly falls short against Portsmouth last night. They also appear to have lost a key component in Brooker. Any word on Piketons game against East? Curious as to who will start at quarterback for the Streaks. I hear they have a couple of options.

A little early, but at this point it looks like we may get some nice weather for the game.

[smurray]

Losing Brooker will hurt the defense for sure.
Waverly had the offense to beat most teams on their schedule, defense is the question.
