WV Backer
Six-man pro
The Wildcats take on the Eagles Friday night @ Diddle Young Field in Water Valley in what could amount to the District 6 championship game. I say "could" because undoubtedly Robert Lee will have something to say about that. The WV is coming off a beat-down at the hands of Borden County a couple of weeks ago and a easy win over the Veribest Falcons this Friday. Sterling City is 7-1 and fresh off a 22 point win over the aforementioned Robert Lee Steers. As of this writing, the Eagles are ranked #6 and the Wildcats are mired at #23 according to the Guru's toy.
I would imagine Sterling City will be a 20+ point favorite going into the game and they seem to be the darlings of the San Angelo Sub-Standard Times but I wonder, does anyone remember the last time Sterling City beat Water Valley in sixman football? Perhaps the only one would be the OBK but that's mostly because he remembers EVERYTHING! Anyway, it hasn't happened this century and, from what I can figure, it might have been back in the 1950's.
So what's it going to be? Will history hold true and see the Wildcats pick up their eighth win in a row against the Eagles or is this the year that Sterling City wrests the district championship away from it's rightful place in Water Valley? Will Tyler outcoach York and prove that he is, indeed, the second coming of Knute Rockne as some folks in Sterling City believe? The Eagles have beaten a couple of pretty good teams thus far (Zephyr and Robert Lee) and gave Garden City a scare before succumbing 38-37, so they are certainly a good squad. Meanwhile the Wildcats have been up and down, losing to some of the better teams in the state (BC, Happy and Knox City) and winning the games they should win. Are the Wildcats good enough to win this, a game they're picked to lose? Only one way to find out and that's to hash it out on the gridiron. I, for one, will be there this Friday night watching and hoping the Wildcats continue their sixman domination over the Eagles. My pick, Water Valley - 56; Sterling City - 44.
