Agreed. I don't need to give my $.02.

Tigers win, and if Central's special teams play is the same as last weeks then it will be a similar score as their game against Manual.

X will win, but I really respect the willingness Central has to schedule such tough opponents. 

They have 4 6A teams and 5A South Warren.  Wow!

I saw freshman game with Central has been cancelled. JV game is tomorrow at Central at 5:30.

X defense will stifle and X will start spending more time opening the playbook.

 

42-0 X

Hate to say, it seems that Central is in somewhat of a talent slide since Covid hit. I'm hearing CAL, and X have picked up a few students, as well as others departing for DuBois.

 

Good opportunity for STX to work on their passing game and find some playmakers. It's tough when your best receiver is also your best answer at QB. Give the Jr QB the opportunity to get some confidence,  which will pay off later in the season. 

X big 42-7

 

Scores since 2001.

Go Tigers!

I think special teams is what can get this game out of hand. Central is always tough and will give the Tigers problems on the edges with their overall team speed.

I'll go St. X 45 Central 10.
