On paper there doesn’t seem to be a lot to separate these two. The NM wh has big play maker ability.... big arm but can make huge plays with his legs too. NM also has a couple very dangerous receivers and a solid RB. Mooresville conversely has been a pretty big surprise with their passing attack this year. Since making the QB switch vs davie, Mooresville has averaged just over 250 pass yards a game. And at the same time averaging over 100 rushing yards a game. Both defenses have shown to give up big plays at times, so I expect this to be a shootout. I lean towards NM if it’s a shoot out, having the more experienced QB. What do y’all think?
