Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
If Minford wins the turnover margin I like their chances. Big, big game for both teams playoff hopes.
West has played slightly better competition so far this year and that may be a difference too.

Spot on BR, both teams are more then capable of winning this one. West really feeling the injury bug right now though. I think the winner takes this by 6 points or less. For fun I'll take West 13-9. Good luck to both squads.Bleeding Red wrote:If Minford wins the turnover margin I like their chances. Big, big game for both teams playoff hopes.

Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
I think both teams' records are a bit deceiving. Minford has played a very weak schedule but they have won the games. West has a loosing record, but with a little luck could be sitting at 4-1 now.
Raceland was better, but West still did some good things in that game even after loosing the quarterback. As Oak said West has been hit hard by the injury bug all season. I think if this game was played a couple weeks ago I would've said West by a couple touchdowns, but now I don't know. Good thing for West is they've already played 2 spread teams and have defended it fairly well.

I see this going 1 of 2 ways. 1. tight game, flip a coin. 2. Minford statement game.

West lost the Sophmore qb who had a great year. Won't be close now. 35-6 Minford
Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
West didn't loose that bad to Raceland. Raceland is much better than MinfordTrojan 90 6&4 wrote:West lost the Sophmore qb who had a great year. Won't be close now. 35-6 Minford

Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
I remember a few years ago, West had injuries and not that great of a record. Minford came into that game as a heavy favorite and everyone thought the Falcons would have an easy night. West came out of the gate and kept running power sweeps and ate Minford alive on the edge. West won the game in a convincing manner. Hopefully, Minford has learned from their past history with West and knows this game will be a slobber knocker and will most likely be decided in the final minutes.
I'm taking the Falcons by a TD.

I didnt know that they lost their QB. Sorry to hear and I hope he has a speedy recovery.
With that in mind, it will make a difference in the game. Minford seems to have gotten the turnover bug under control which seemed to be the achilles heel vs Rock Hill and Oak Hill. Who knows how the Rock Hill game would have turned out if Minford had not shot themselves in the foot so many times.
West has played a tougher schedule so far, but wins are wins and loses are still loses. Lots of variables Friday night but both teams will come out ready to play and expect to win.
If Minford won by 21, West by 24 or a low scoring game, none would surprise me. I just know the winner is in the driver's seat for a 6-8 seed in Region 19 and the loser has to win one or both of the Waverly and Burg games to get back in the hunt.
I expect a great game and hopefully injury free on both sides of the field.

Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
Even though West comes into this game at 2-3 don't over look them. This is the youngest team in the SOC and they will flat get after it on defense. Minford is not going have anything that the young West team has not already seen. They played a very very good Raceland team pretty tough last week. This team could very easily be 4-1. I'm going with West in this one.

Usually? West has dominated the life time series, not that any of that will matter Friday night.Game day wrote:West usually plays Minford tough.

Yes this is somewhat concerning, because our defense on the edge has been suspect at times.

Re: WK6 West (2-3) @ Minford (4-1)
I'm not buying West is beat up and down to 2nd and 3rd string skill position players. Methinks they're playing opossum like they were 2013 and ready to smack Minford in the mouth when a 2-3 West team beat a 5-0 Minford team 35-28. It's the beginning of SOCII play and I expect nothing less, so Minford better have their chin straps fastened tight.NewEra wrote:vladimir wrote:I remember a few years ago, West had injuries and not that great of a record.

In 2013, I believe it was the Journey kid that ran sweeps all over the Falcons. I was having nightmares of student body right and left power sweeps in my sleep for weeks after that game. The Falcons do have two good DEs with Compton and Thurman. The CBs, OLBs, Safties filling the lanes are going to have to step up and make plays on the edge.

They lost him in the first quarter against Raceland and still played a good game against a good team.Trojan 90 6&4 wrote:They lost there best player though. Out for the year.
