It’s always a tuff battle when these schools get together in any sport. BE won the regular season meeting this year as they did last year. In last years state tournament however BE was never really in the game as NB went on to win the Region. That was last year and these are different teams than in years past. This year NB defense is playing as good as any in the state. They are only allowing an average of 14 point per game on the season. BE hung 17 on them in early October and I can’t see that happening on Friday the way the NB line backers and DB’s have been playing these last few weeks holding both Western and Valley to only 6 points respectively. I wish all the players good luck but my prediction is NB – 24, BE – 14.
