Burton at Appalachia- The Dawgs were sluggish last week. They knew they were playing a team they were supposed to handle. Having said that, the boys from Appy will be ready to play. Norton knows what this rivalry means as well. This one will be a good one. 28-20 Raiders.
Clintwod at Haysi- this one has a shot at game of the night (what a tough week to pick games). Going with the boys from Sandlick at home 21-20.
Gate City at Coeburn- GC coming off of a shelllacking, Knights coming off of a blowout win. None of this matters-Richlands is state champ material, Twin Springs is terrible. 28-7 Devils win.
Powell Valley at Seymour TN- The Vikes will make Seymour look like Jane Seymour Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman when it's all done. 35-17 PV.
J.J. Kelly at Pound- Kelly's season started less than planned, while Pound got a big win on the road to start the season. It is now or never for my Tribe. It is gut-check time. It's been too long since JJK has beaten anybody in the LPD (except Coeburn). A win Friday night would do wonders for our program. I gotta have a little faith-Kelly 28-21.
