Thorobreds will host two middle-of-the-pack 9th Region teams early in the season, beginning with Dave Faust's Crusaders on November 30th. This game will feature a nice matchup of wing players--St. Henry's Darius Meiman & Harrison County's Dillon Pulliam. Who comes out on top?

Will step out on the ledge and prediction Harrison. So early with them, its hard to judge. Will be interesting to see how the do in the season.

Crusaders are hungry for a win after losses in 2 hard fought games. They hung in there with Ryle until the 4th quarter. They battled it out with Brossart until the end. St Henry held their own against Scott in the pre-season scrimmage. I think this will be a good match-up and an exciting game. I'm picking Crusaders on this one.

I'll take a middle of the pack 9th region team that is under rated versus a middle of the pack 10 th region team that is un proven.

St. Henry by 8. Meiman will get his points but look out for Noble !

St. Henry 52-45.
