I think that Allegany has improved so much over the past 3 to 4 weeks that it is going to be hard for Southern to pull off the upset. If the game was 4 weeks ago I think Southern had a better chance. The one thing that Southern has going for them is size. They are big on both lines. Their offense has looked very good this year in most games. And the defense has played tough also. I still see a 10 to 14 point win for Alco as long as they don't help Southern with turnovers, bad penalties, etc. Southern would have to play a flawless game and Alco would have to give them at least one turnover for the Rams to win. I think it stays close early and Alco pulls away late or Allegany blows them out in the first half. I would be a little worried if I was an Alco fan just because of how their defense has looked this year. Especially against good offenses.Just curious if anyone who offered a score has watched Southern play a game this year or if the scores are just based on past experience. I know Beall02 mentioned in another thread that he saw them scrimmage Mt Ridge. Not saying some of these scores couldn't end up being correct, but for money316 to say 56-8 makes me think he hasn't seen them play a snap. I've seen them both play and think it should be close. That is, as long as they don't roll out the FH/MCC refs..lol
Good point Beall02... I do believe ALCO has improved each week like they usually do.I think that Allegany has improved so much over the past 3 to 4 weeks that it is going to be hard for Southern to pull off the upset.

BTW, good shout out Redwhite90, I think a lot of people are going off of past games and maybe a little bit of the scores of games this year.
Correct, haven't seen Southern play. I'll bet ya piece of stadium pizza my score will be close...lol. I do see a blowout but thats why they play the game.Just curious if anyone who offered a score has watched Southern play a game this year or if the scores are just based on past experience.

No GREAT teams I would say, as FH really only holds that distinction in 1A west right now. But their only loss came to an East Hardy team currently ranked 1 or 2 in WVA single A. Their team pretty similar to Chestnut Ridge in the way they like to throw the ball around the field. They also beat Catoctin on the road by shutting them out. Alco beat Dunbar and Williamsport which was certainly impressive but gave up a lot of points as well as both were in the friendly confines of Greenway. I'd like Southern's chances a lot better if in Oakland, but it is what it is.Robinette will be dragging Rams all over the field. Game will be decided at the half. By the way..which great teams has the Rams played this year.
I'm not sure what would constitute fh being a great team at this point. the program may be great, the last 4 years may be great, but this year has yet to be determined.I think you need to take a peek at the week 8 point totals for 1a west.
this post will be irrelevant in 11 days and ALCOs football season will be irrelevant in 24.I think you need to take a peek at the week 8 point totals for 1a west.
I hadn't looked at the new rankings yet but they are not a real surprise nor do they change my opinion. It was based on what I see not some point rankings. Just because FH lost last week does not make them any less of a team. In the end, it comes down to the last team standing , and I feel like they will be right up there just because of their talent level. A week ago, most everyone here was on a MCC post-game high and were predicting a FH victory which I presume had to do with their record and the fact that no one here had actually seen them play on the field. I trust what I see much more than comparing records and MaxPreps stats or State Rankings.. Too many variables are involved with those.I'm not sure what would constitute fh being a great team at this point. the program may be great, the last 4 years may be great, but this year has yet to be determined.
Right and Hillary has a seven point lead over Trump.this post will be irrelevant in 11 days and ALCOs football season will be irrelevant in 24.
Well, I understand what you are intending to say , but they can only play who was scheduled. As far as Catoctin being down this year, they are currently #4 in 1A west so not sure how much higher you expected them to be at this point. Win or lose, just excited to watch them play a good area team as opposed to some of the blowouts in recent weeks.Southern has played such a week schedule. They did schedule Catoctin, but I think they are down this year
Looks Like I owe you that slice of pizza Money316...I really never saw this coming. Just too much talent on that O and D line of ALCO Yesterday . Southern is not quite there yet. They did not play well, but pretty sure the constant pressure applied up front on both sides by ALCO had a lot to do with that! Very impressed with them as athletes...not so much as gentlemen but that's a separate matter. Their behavior towards Southern Fans and Parents as their bus pulled away was an unfortunate blemish on their otherwise stellar performance.Correct, haven't seen Southern play. I'll bet ya piece of stadium pizza my score will be close...lol. I do see a blowout but thats why they play the game.
