Meechie Johnson comes to town.

Interesting fact UCF fighter CB Dollaway is from Northmor.

[EasternDspy]

Also Northmor was (1-9) last year and this is the Black Knights 1st ever playoff game.

[EasternDspy]

Northmor is from the new league KMAC. They are in the same league as Fort Fryes last 2 playoff opponents at home Fredericktown and Centerburg. 2 years ago Fredericktown came into Beverly and won 8-0. Last year Fort Frye smoked Centerburg 48-6.

Not sure how good Highland is but Fort Frye beat 3 playoff teams in Waterford (9-1) , Shenandoah (8-2) , and Steubenville CC. Northmor did beat Lucas but Lucas lost to River. River lost to Shenandoah (44-12)

I honestly think Fort Fryes playoff experience is going to come into play. Also it’s a long road trip for Northmor who is making its first ever playoff appearance. I’m not that high on the Northmor Defense I think they can be scored on. I’m sure the Knights will call Fredericktown , Centerburg , and even East Knox who are all familiar with Fort Frye. Wes McKown who graduated and played on Fort Fryes first playoff team in 01 is a coach at East Knox.

Fort Frye has a solid team. Northmor’s two losses were close and to a couple of pretty good programs. Interesting first round match-up. Fort Frye has the playoff experience but Northmor not coming into this one awe-struck. I look for a close game thru 3 with The Fort slowly pulling away.
