Well we are really getting a idea where the league stands now. As expected Reynolds, Erwin, and Asheville are at fighting for the top spot. NB looks like they want to break in to that top 3. Enka seems to be improved. Roberson is still a ? to me. Mcdowell is not bad either. Overall I believe this is the strongest the MAC has been from top to bottom in a while.
Here are the week 3 games..
Ooltewah at Erwin
Reynolds at Owen
Enka at Smokey Mtn
Asheville at Pisgah
Mcdowell at Tuscola
Roberson at East Rutherford
Mtn Heritage at North Buncombe
My picks..
Ooltewah 21 Erwin 14...It hurts me to pick against my Warriors but I know what we face Friday night. Ooltewah is big 5A school with close to 80 players. The have only been scored on once this year including the preseason. With that said this might be the best team Erwin has had yet. They have a very good qb, wr's, and rb's. They also have a good defense.
Reynolds 55 Owen 21...Reynolds may very well be the best team in the mtns this season and Owen is in a rebuilding phase.
SM 28 Enka 21...Both of these teams are much improved but I will go with the home squad.
Asheville 42 Pisgah 21...I don't ever remember these two proud programs playing, but I am sure they have. Asheville is just way to fast for the Bears.
Tuscola 28 Mcdowell 17...Tuscola looks to be a better team this year. Mcdowell has a good qb, but it will not be enough to get a w in Waynesville.
East Rutherford 42 Roberson 28...East has enough athletes to beat Roberson. The Rams are still a mystery to me.
MH 28 NB 24....This game will be very close. MH is a very physical team with a good qb. North Buncombe is looking good this far, but it is hard to tell because of their schedule.
