Walton Verona by 14

Lloyd names the score

Does anyone want to take a shot on a breakdown of the game? Maybe we could get some insight on the players, offense, defense, and coaching advantages which would lead to the opinion of "Lloyd names the score".

 

Looking at the history of these two it looks like it has been very competitive. They have met 4 times in the playoffs since 2011. Here are the results.

 

2011 Lloyd 13-0

 

2102 Walton 33-26

 

2013 Walton 21-18

 

2015 Lloyd 31-14

 

They have also met 3 times during the regular season since 2011. Here are the results.

 

2011 Walton 42-14

 

2012 Lloyd 38-33

 

2015 Lloyd 31-14

Walton seems to be filling the holes lost from graduation with talent and speed. Defense will be strong with 4 year starter Hunter Ruber at LB and FB. Offense will have several kids with speed with Smith under center. Should be a good game.

I don't believe that Walton's run game will be nearly as strong as the last few years. With 6'4 clink at WR it will be a big target for the QB but I don't know much about him. Walton has a lot to prove this year, should be an interesting season.

Walton is very young and talented this year so they are going to be learning on the fly. This is a tough first game for them.

I think the skill positions for Lloyd will be the difference. I'll take Lloyd by 20

Lloyd by 3 touchdowns

Lloyd by a lot..
