South Point 36 vs Point Pleasant 24 Final

[gtay75]

Any thoughts?

[mattash]

I'm taking South Point to get their first win.

[bucking red]

Gahs South Point has a little more speed than your slow blue devils. I see the pointers winning there first game. Point has a very good back but so does South Point. I would be worried about getting homered if I was South Point that is the only way I see them going 0-4.

Good luck South Point! Bring home the win!

Point Pleasant sophomore running back Allan Wasonga has 340 yards two games into our season on 28 carries for a 12.1 YPC average. He has six touchdowns, 5 rushing and one punt return. Our fullback Derek Mitchell has 228 yards in two games as well on 27 carries for a 8.4 YPC average - so he's doing the job as well.

We won on Friday night over conference foe Sissonville 42-10 with Wasonga getting 186 yards on 14 carries and Mitchell having 135 yards on 14 carries. Our quarterback B.J. Lloyd had the best night of his career, going 4-5 for 117 yards with two touchdown passes. Sissonville ran 13 more plays than us but was still outscored by 32 points. Wasonga had td runs of 20, 25, and 68.

Obviously, I know very little about South Point but they are not your normal 0-3 football team that is for sure! This will be the first ever meeting between the two "Point"s so let's just hope for a fun, safe football game on Friday night at Sanders Memorial Field.

point pleasant wins this one 35-12

South Point should win the next 7 games and end the season 7-3. They have showed they can play with tough teams and should win the OVC.(If they stay healthy).

Ummm, I don't know about that. I will say that it will come down between the CG Hornets, South Point and Fairland. Honestly, I think it will come down between Fairland and CG. jmho.

South Point is very good. They are better than Fairland. I agree, I think they win out if their confidence hasn't been lost. They would be 3-0 if they played half of the teams schedules around here.

[earp]

I agree!And I think playing that big early schedule is going to start to pay off this week!

[osumufan]

I'll go with the Pointers on this one, they are hungry for a win!

I have to agree with this comment. Wasonga is one of the most impressive backs I have seen in awhile. It is scary that he is only a sophmore. Gallia had no answer for him... It would have been interesting to see the outcome of the Gallia v. Point game if he didn't have such bad cramps. I am taking point in this one by 2 touchdowns.

South Points first 3 games have had to get them better. Point is tough with Mitchell and Wasonga. This could be one of the best games this Friday. Good Luck to both teams. I will pick The Big Blacks 28-24.

[wemufans]

Pointers by 8.

I have a question for the Point Pleasant faithful...The Wasonga boys.....did their dad play for WVU? Maybe at tight end? Just wondering......

[Gobigblacks]

Right idea, wrong kid(s).

Derek Mitchell's dad played at WVU in the late 1980's - Darrell Mitchell. His career stats are below.
