Schuylkill League Matchups for Week-7

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS:
1. Tri Valley Bulldogs(3-0) vs Williams Valley Vikings(5-1)
* Williams Valley is 13-4(3-3 in the playoffs) against Tri Valley since 2009, the Vikings have scored an average of 29 points per game in those games while giving up just 15. Tri Valley has lost the last 4 regular season games to the Vikings dating back to 2016, including last years defeat 48 to 0. *
PREDICTION: Bulldogs defense has been nothing short of stellar so far this season but, the Vikings offense is just too much… Vikings take this one in a hard nosed battle 27 to 21.

2. Pottsville Crimson Tide(4-1) vs Jim Thorpe Olympians(5-1)
* Pottsville is coming into this game on a 4 game win streak since losing to Nativity BVM in the season opener 31 to 21, since then, the Tide are averaging 37 points a game while giving up just 9. Jim Thorpe comes into the game winners of their last 2 games beating Lehighton and Tamaqua last week 27 to 18. The Tide have won the last 3 of 5 meetings vs the Olympians averaging 19 points a game while giving up 26. *
PREDICTION: The Tide repeat what they did last season and defeat the Olympians in a close game… 35 to 28.

3. Mahanoy Area Golden Bears(3-3) vs Blue Mountain Eagles(3-3)
* After losing 3 straight games, the Eagles come into this game on a 2 game win streak, both of which were shutouts over two very good offensive teams in Tamaqua, and Lehighton last week. The Golden Bears come into the game on a rush as they defeated Nativity BVM last week in an offensive fiesta 42 to 27. The Eagles and Golden Bears haven’t played since the 2014 and 2015 season at which the Eagles won both games, 35 to 6 and 35 to 3 in 2015. *
PREDICTION: If the Eagles defense can stay hot, and slow down the Golden Bears Ben Terry, the Eagles will win… Eagles win this one 42 to 20.

4. Lehighton Indians(2-4) vs Pine Grove Area Cardinals(2-4)
* These two programs haven’t played each other in many years, if at all from my records, nothing as of 2004 at least. Pine Grove comes into this week’s matchup winning 2 of their last 3 games, while the Indians have lost their last 2, both vs very good teams in Jim Thorpe and Blue Mountain. Pine Grove defeat Blue Mountain 3 weeks ago 20 to 14, Lehighton lost to the Eagles 35 to 0. *
PREDICTION: I think I will just toss the coin for this one and see what happens….. Lehighton(HEADS), Pine Grove(TAILS) ….. The coin says Pine Grove’s defense pulls it out late, wins 26 to 22.

5. Nativity BVM Green Wave(4-2) vs Schuylkill Haven Hurricanes(2-4)
* The Hurricanes have won the last 3 meetings with Nativity dating back to the 2008 season, the Canes scoring a whopping 64 points a game on average, and giving up just 9 to the Green Wave. This year may be a little different as the Green Wave have a very good offense this season while the Canes defense is looking to improve, giving up 24 points a game thus far all while Nativity’s offense is averaging 33 points a game this season. *
PREDICTION: In a very good battle, the Green Wave offense just proves to be too much for the Canes…. Nativity takes it 35 to 20.

6. Pen Argyl Green Wave(1-3) vs Tamaqua Blue Raiders(3-3)
* Pen Argyl comes into the game defeating the Blue Raiders twice since 2012, both of which were playoff games, 31 to 21 in 2016 and 30 to 14 in 2012. Pen Argyl has lost their last 2 games, while Tamaqua is riding a 3 game skid. *
PREDICTION: The Blue Raiders end their streaks, and defeat the Green Knights big… 42 to 14.

OTHER GAMES AROUND THE LEAGUE:
Marian Catholic Colts(1-5) vs Minersville Battlin’ Miners(2-3)
* Both teams last win this season came vs Shenandoah Valley, Minersville winning 38 to 6, and Marian Catholic winning 24 to 7. Minersville comes into the game winners of their last 3 games of the season, and hold a 3-2 record over the Colts since 2015. *
PREDICTION: Minersville offense way too much for the Colts… Miners win big 35 to 7.

SATURDAY:
Panther Valley Panthers(1-5) vs Shenandoah Valley Blue Devils(1-5)
* Panthers come into the game having lost their last 4 games of the season while the Blue Devils ended a 34 game losing streak last week when they beat Col-MontVo-Tech 37 to 34. Panther Valley has defeated the Blue Devils 5 of their last 6 meetings since 2014. Shenandoah Valley defeated the Panthers in 2015 13 to 6. *
PREDICTION: Flip of the coin…… HEADS…. Blue Devils win back to back games for the first time in …. Shendo – 35, Panthers – 33.
