Canal Winchester 21 Athens 14

Athens is coming off a 41-0 win over Warren

Canal Winchester is coming off a 2 OT 24-21 win over Thomas Worthington

Thoughts?

[TRENCHFOOT]

I think Athens has got a good shot.

Athens schedule should allow them to garner some first level points this year, several D2 schools that look to be beatable this year in CW and Logan.

Don't really know what Canal has. They are always a good team but play in a conference that is hard to win games. Always better than their record.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Just cant see Athens dropping this one.

[Auburntgrfan]

First, co grats to Athens on your win. Hope you continue to have a good season. Warren is not as bad as they played, However, you played well and executed well for first game of year. Deserved the win. Hope you can carry this week into this week. Keep the faith.

Athens is playing a lot of younger kids, I figure Canal wins by a couple of scores.

Say what? How can u even make such a prediction without seeing canal or knowing anything about them? Lol

Canal by 14

[Raider6309]

Canal has 8 starters back on offense and all 5 linemen from last year. Be a big test for Athens. Canal is the one team on Athens schedule that has more size than Athens on the line. I expect Athens to throw the ball a lot in this game

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

I.M.O. Keys to Athens win

1-Middle screens
2-Misdirections running plays
3-Blitz a lot
4-Contain the ends

I may have to head up to Canal and watch this one Friday night.

Canal Winchester preview of the game. Canal's QB is hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if both teams rush 7 all night

The QB that played last week did a fine job and looks like he will be starting for a while.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Good Luck Athens!

[moonshine]

Do not know much about CW but since the game is there look for a toss-up!

CW 24

Bullpuppies 18

[Orange and Brown]

28-24 Athens

Athens played tough. Canal is a solid team

[TRENCHFOOT]

Yep, Athens hung in there.

[Raider6309]

Athens defense played tough with a team with a big line.
Not a big playoff points lost since CW plays a brutal schedule.
Athens offense is still young. Should get better every week
