Sioux City North vs Sioux City East

[armdragger]

Nobody outside SC will care much about this one.

SCE looks to be stronger than I expected after losing some very talented seniors, especially at the skill positions.

SCN brings back the majority of the talent they had, but concerns exist with replacing 4 O-linemen.

SCE has a running attack that I expect SCN will find extremely difficult to stop. The only way SCN keeps this a game is by basically never punting and trusting Tillo can keep moving the chains.

SCN will need to score in the 40s or above to hope they can stay in the game.

Hoping for an entertaining game.

I agree with your take on Friday's matchup. East will dictate the pace of this game, as long as they hold onto the football I believe they will not have an empty possession.

I think North did the right thing by moving a majority of their 2 way skill guys to 1 way in the Fort Dodge game. Whether that was strictly preparation for the East game, necessary due to poor play, or will be done that way the rest of the year I have no idea, but the skill position guys would be completely gassed by halftime if they were trying to go both ways in this one.

North's line play on either side of the football was not very good against Fort Dodge and Tillo didn't show much desire to step into throws with a man in his face. If Stibbs and Saul can get acquainted with Tillo early and often, this could get ugly. If Tillo gets to stand in the pocket and throw, it will be a good one.
