Sideline Guru WK.7
Hello again football fans. Week 7 of DeKalb county football will be a thrilling week. We have 2 bitter rivalry games with Fort Payne playing Scottsboro for the Top Cat trophy. Then what I call the Iron Bowl of Sand Mountain Football Sylvania plays Plainview. Wow what a week, then we have 2 more barn burners Ider going to Collinsville and Sand Rock playing Geraldine. So lets get to picking.
Crossville (0-6) at Cherokee County (3-3) The Lions keep on trying to find a win in a tuff 4A region. Pointer has 2 good receiver’s to throw to in Dismuke and Jones. Simpson leads the Lions in rushing at 90 yards a game but they have a hard time finding the end zone, combined with the Lions defense allowing over 30 points a game. Not looking good this week as the Warrior have found their groove after losing their first 3 games. The Warriors are now on a 3 game winning streak and I don’t see that streak ending this week. Warrior’s win.
Valley Head (2-3) at Fyffe (5-1) The Tigers got a beat down put on them last week by Spring Garden. Harrison and the Tiger’s will have to bounce back fast. Leps and Nixs better buckle all four of their chin straps and be ready to knock some heads. Fyffe rolled over Gaston last week clicking on all 8 cylinders. Kilpatrick is playing like a man among boy’s and Benefield looks more comfortable each week at quarterback. Fyffe’s defense is rock solid with the Martin boy’s leading the charge. Fyffe wins big on their Homecoming.
Sand Rock (4-2) at Geraldine (3-3) The Rock has another good team this year. They are on a 2 game winning streak. This is the first of my 2 games I’m calling Bring your on guts (BYOG) games. This game will be a hard hitting, nose bleeding game. The Bulldogs are needing this win bad. So I’m looking for Hood, Willoughby and Jiminez to play every play like it’s the Bulldogs last play . Bulldogs win a close game late.
Ider (4-2) at Collinsville (4-2) This is our second (BYOG) game of the week. The Hornets lost a tuff game to West End last week. Tinker’s boys will be back this week playing hard. The Palmer and Higdon Train should be loaded and ready with Dobbins engineering it to Collinsville . The Panther will have a derailing party waiting. With Jones, Reed, Blakely and Nash. This game will be snot bubble blowing game. Panthers win with to much offense for the Hornets to stop.
Fort Payne (5-1) at Scottsboro (2-4) This is our first of 2 big rivalry games this week. The Top Cat Trophy is a big deal between these two teams. Scottsboro doesn’t look like on paper they can stay up with Fort Payne. Don’t let records fool you. Scottsboro has some offense.With 2 running backs averaging 100 yards a game rushing and a receiver also getting 100 yards a game. Fort Payne will be coming to Scottsboro with a lot of momentum mostly led by Desmond Turner who rushed for 285 yards last week easily putting him over 1000 yards for the year. Fort Payne’s defense is just as good with Young up front and Berry, Richburg combination up the middle. This should be a slugfest from the Kickoff till the last whistle blows. The Wildcat’s from Fort Payne go to Scottsboro and leave with the Top Cat Trophy AGAIN.
Sylvania (1-5) at Plainview (3-3) This is our game of the week. Our second big rivalry game on Friday night. The Iron Bowl of Sand Mountain. Two teams that don’t really care for each other. It’s been like this since the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s, nothing new nothing has changed. It’s the RAMS verse the BEARS. Throw the wins and loses aside, they want matter in this game. This will be lay it all on the field last man standing football. In this year’s edition the bears have Duke’s under center with Mueller and Martin running the ball and Hughes, Kirk combination at wide outs. It’s been working pretty good the last three games all wins. Bears Defense is getting better also Kirk is patrolling the passing lanes and Farmer, Johnson and Wooten are taking care of the rest. For the Rams Dicus is under center, while Roebuck leads the way on the ground. I’m looking for some help from Miller and Dover for the Rams offense to start rolling again. The Rams defense is led by Dendy upfront with Dover and Griffen in the middle. Roebuck and Dicus have to play big on pass defense and run support. This game will be a Blood,Mudd,and Guts game . Roebuck has game of a lifetime and Rams upset Bears in a nail bitting, heart stopping ending. And the RIVALRY CONTINUES.
See you at the games. Save me some Hot Chocolate.
