From what I’ve seen (Twitter/pics/videos/etc) and that I’ve heard, there is a serious renewed energy in Lucasville. From the facilities, to the amazing staff Coach has put together, to the midnight madness…the list goes one. Valley is doing all the right things and I think you’ll start to see those results on the field as the seasons progress.

I think the Trojans can definitely win this game. Valley has athletes, not sure they have enough to contain all the weapons the Trojans have. Get the ball out of Duncan’s hands quick and into the likes of Pendleton, Duncan, Heiland and Lattimore.

Sounds like PHS' cupboard is not empty from their showing against Waverly. This should be a good one. Valley is mixing some young guys in with the upperclassmen and everyone looked full effort Friday. This game will be entertaining, It seems like forever since the Trojans have made the trip to Lucasville. I will catch this game Thursday and find another one on Friday, any suggestions?

Drew Roe May be gone but they still have Devon Lattimore waiting to take southern Ohio by storm!!!

Valley has the pieces for a nice run as well! I think both teams will represent southern Ohio well this year!

Good Luck to both teams!

I guess George Arnett is the QB for Valkey and not Carter Nickel. My apologies for being wrong in the initial write up.

No reason to apologize even valley fans was surprised by that. Arnett was really dynamic and a huge threat to run the ball. Or the best arm but looked good enough. But nickel shocked me at how good he was at receiver. It’s a gamble to switch positions like that when nickel been starting for 2 years at qb but maybe it gives them the best chance to win. Someone at the scrimmage said they thought it might have something to do with nickel playing baseball but I kinda doubt that.

I think it gives them a better chance to win. Both are great athletes, putting Nickel at receiver gives them more options than Arnett at running back. I don't think Arnett will be asked to throw the ball all over the field or throw deep balls. Just throw enough and well enough to keep the defense honest and open up some running lanes for himself when the time comes. If Valley's top players can stay healthy all season, they will win some ball games.

Not a surprise as the switch was made at the end of last season. Arnett finished the season at quarterback last year. The switch because Nickel plays baseball? Arnett is probably one of the only two kids that plays more baseball than Nickel. I love how people come up with stuff at times.

As for the game, it will come down Valley not turning the ball over and making Portsmouth put drives together. If Valley is slopping with the ball and misses tackles that lead to big plays for the Trojans, they will struggle to win. I do think Valley's advantage up front will be the difference. I think Portsmouth may struggle to get enough stops.

Portsmouth will need to win the battle at the los to win this game. Maybe they’ll wear the big guys of Valley down. If not I think Valley wins this game.

One day until kick off! I am curious to see how much Valley has changed their game plan with the new coaches.

Just curious, did Valley have the same 5 kids on their O line last year?
