This will be the 8th meeting between the two cross county foes in the last decade, Greenwood holds a 4-3 advantage in that time frame. Which is nice considering they only played 2 times the decade before.

The Gators rolled over Westmoreland (TN), had over 200+ yards rushing averaging over 10 ypc as well. SR’s Davis Chaney and Nathan Self should be in store for another great night on the ground come Friday. The defense forced a couple of turnovers, had 4 players with 10+ tackles, all Seniors so it seems as though this is an experienced bunch of Gators they are fielding.

The Raiders were simply outclassed against Floyd Central (IN), they’re about to face another team who will get downhill and try to bully them in the trenches. The offense after rewatching the tape isn’t all bad, there were some flashes of promise and again the Highlanders were just dominant from the first whistle to the final horn. I’m not sure the Gators are of that caliber but this will be a great test for Warren East to see where exactly they are and how they want this season to go moving forward. 
 

I want to say that the Raiders will be able to score the football, which I expect more than 7 points but they’ll need a lot to make up for what the Gators will be able to garner. 
 

Gators 35 Raiders 21

Greenwood's week one win should not be overlooked. They handily beat a team that went 13-3 last year by a score of 26-6. I won't be surprised if Greenwood wins this by more than a couple TD's.

Give me Greenwood 28-21.

35-14 GW

May be close at half but GW just grinds you down running the ball. 

The Raiders will be without their Head Coach tonight and what seems to be the foreseeable future. Coach Hall was absent last Friday night in their opener and it has became known that he is on administrative leave. Believe I’ll have to change my prediction around a little in this one, rather than 35-21 I’m going to say 42-14. Tough break for the Raiders who were already having to put a lot of new faces on the field. Hope everything works itself out but very disappointing news for the players when you lose your leader at the start of the season.

Greenwood up 7-0, Raiders have the ball starting 2Q.

Great pass from the Gators QB that sets up a short TD. Warren East stuffs the 2pt conversion attempt.

5:47 2Q

13-0 Gators

Greenwood muffs a punt and the Raiders recover. Next play Lightfoot takes a screen for a 6.

4:11 2Q

13-6 Gators

 

Interception. Raiders get the ball at their 26 yard line.

3 and out.

Punt to the Gators 35.

1:54 2Q

Touchdown Gators.

21-6

Gators leading at the half, the Raiders OL has been nonexistent. Not necessarily getting bullied but there have been a lot of missed assignments, seems like a defender was coming untouched every snap. I’ve been throughly impressed with SR Davis Chaney for Greenwood, good ballplayer.

Halftime 

21-6 

Warren East receiving to start the 2H.

End of 3Q. 
 

21-6 Greenwood
