Yea, sure,

*Shelby Valley is 4-0
*East Ridge is 1-3
*Shelby Valley's Defense stoped Pike Central to 6 Points
*East Ridge defense gave up 28 points,losing to Pike Central
*Shelby Valley has hold all team that they have played to only 32 Points total
*East Ridge has let the teams they've played score 132 points in total
*Shelby Valley is 1st in Region 4
*East Ridge is last in Region 4
*Shelby Valley is the better team

So thats why I think Shelby Valley will win

Good try but i should have been more specific..

How does the qb situation size up.
Who has the better backs
Who has the better receivers
Which line is stronger
How do the linebackers play against the run
How does the secondary cover the pass
Will either team pass
Can Ratliff's D stop Saunders O

I think this game will be a pretty good game. Neither team is a powerhouse, they are both mediocre, and they have a common opponent in a mediocre Pike Central. SV won on a bad snap, East ridge lost on a last minute drive.
Common opponents don't really mean squat, but it's a way to size each other up.

Oh and earlier someone said they are off to the best start ever, and i'm surprised someone from valley hasn't said this already, but, if i'm not mistaken they went 9-0 one year before they met Belfry, and they got creamed. This was back when dusty hall was the running back.
