The big question is whether Allegany will duplicate what it did last year, which was play Fort Hill lights out at Homecoming and then go on the road in first round of the playoffs and lose to an inferior team. Then again, maybe the big question really is whether Boonsboro is indeed inferior to Alco.
Boonsboro is undefeated, and while not playing the toughest of schedules has posted some impressive wins, some shutouts. If anything, however, Boonsboro having to take Northern to overtime at home to beat them indicates that they aren't ready for prime time.
Allegany showed what it can do against Fort Hill with an impressive albeit losing performance at Homecoming. But, if there is a knock on Allegany in recent years, it's that they consistently find a way to underperform and hand over games with mistakes, penalties, and miscues.
I'm having a tough time with this one. Part of me sees Allegany/North Carroll part 2 and part of me sees the Campers getting the job done and wanting desperately to get a chance to rain on Fort Hill's parade.
Somewhat reluctantly, I'm going to go with Allegany 27-20.
