Blue Devils look to kick off their campaign with a short trip down to Cornelius to take on rival Hough. Hough got their season going last week, with a 7-0 win over Hopewell.
I watched most of that Hough Hopewell game.... what I will say is do not be fooled by that score. Hough still has the talent to be in that top tier. I think a lot of that was a combination of lousy weather, rough field conditions, week 1 rust, a new OC, and still trying to find a groove post Pryor era. Given the weather, I thought their play calling was a bit curious at times. But those are very easy self correctable things.
As far as this week, I have no clue. We performed well in our scrimmage, beating West Forsyth. But we are extremely inexperienced this year. I think something like 3returning starters on offense. About the same on defense. A new coaching staff/system. We have 3 pretty good QBs, 1 SR then 2 under classmen.... idk where we go in that regard either. So I think it’s extremely unpredictable.... I think we have the talent to spring an “upset”... but at the same time I think we are just as capable of getting smoked. Lol.What are y’all’s thoughts?
