If memory serves me right, didn't JC start off slow the past two years with some early season loses, only to come on strong and win their district? I stick with JC until someone proves they are better come playoff time.

You are correct. JC had five offensive turnovers and basically played poor defense and was still in this game driving to win late. Look for Matney to make these improvements and quick. This is a young, but talented and balanced team. This was an early test with a playoff atmosphere. Although JC did not wn, this game will pay huge divedends down the stretch.

Knox is a great team and will suprise people. If they can grind out yardage on the ground, and mix in the pass like they did against JC, they will surprise alot of teams. Their defense is solid. I have not seen Russell play, but I think Knox has the talent to win the district this year. Time will tell.
