thoughts and predictions

Newport might keep it close they usually seem too but Holmes is to tough on D and too fast for Newport on O and will win by a decent margin.

Holmes by as many as they want

Is this a rivalry anymore? I have heard stories about the high intensity of the rivalry back in the 50s/60s (Tom Ellis days).

I would say that the rivalry died off when I graduated in the early 90's. We quit playing them in football, now it is just another game. Holmes has built more rivalry's now with HC and Covcath in Bball. I heard it got really rowdy back in Ellis's day when these two teams played.

I heard the same about the 70's too. It really has gotten away from the rivalry it used to be. Last year Holmes pulled out the W by less than 10 but cant rememeber the exact amount. But I think Holmes wins this year by anywhere from 10-20 points.

Holmes won 60-55 last year.
