Apollo (2-8) at Bowling Green (7-3) – Part 2

The Apollo Eagles will head down the old Nather Parkway a second time this season to take on the Purples for the 18^th time in the series.  The Eagles are the #4 Seed in 5A District 1, while the Purples are the #1 seed in 5A District 2.  These 2 played way back on September 8^th with the Purples winning 57-7. 

Eagles Coach John Edge is a good coach who has been around for some time and I expect he’ll have his team as ready as possible.  But they are really young this season and building for the future IMO.  So just not sure that will be enough in this one.

The Purples will get a chance to get back on the field after an uneven performance against a very good St X team last Friday.  BG lost 27-12 and in a lot of ways it wasn’t that close.  I felt the BG defense played pretty darn well against a tough and rugged Tiger offense and kept the game within reach most of the way.  But BG’s offense just hasn’t been the same the past couple weeks with the Oline struggling the most.  BG won’t face a DLine or Oline like that the rest of the way so its time to ramp up for another playoff run that on paper looks favorable for the Purples for awhile anyway. 

Can the Eagles pull the upset or will Bowling Green get back in the win column?

Time for the Eagles to roll out the basketballs.

I think you are right on this one Devils Fan. Their basketball program will be playing with the same kids. Around February they will be saying "start warming up the pitchers". Right now, that's the only sport that has a chance to win a championship over there at Apollo.
