SPORTS WEEKEND PREVIEW ( 7th Edition )

It's hard to believe, but we have another Sports Weekend here to enjoy. It seams like that exciting Jets and Dolphins game just ended. I guess I have just been living on the adrenaline from the excitement of the Dolphins last second victory over the Jets. The Dolphins wildcat offense sure looked good. Both of the young QBs looked very good as well. The future for the Jets and Dolphins looks very promising. So lets look at the weekend ahead and see what kind of excitement we can expect.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK

Boiling Springs @ Dorman..... The Dorman Cavaliers had all they wanted and then some from the upstart Mauldin Mavericks last week. The Cavaliers were able to give Coach Dave Gutshall his 300th career win as a Head Coach. The Boiling Springs Bulldogs are off to their best start in school history at 7 and 0. The Bulldogs will get their first serious test this week to see just how good they really are. I'm sure the Boiling Springs players, coaches and fans have had this one circled on their calendar all season, so they could go out and prove just how good they are. I see this game as close for awhile, but the Cavaliers learned a lesson from the upstart Mauldin Mavericks last week and will have the intensity they will need to get an impressive win at home..... Dorman 34 Boiling Springs 17

OTHER HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Chesnee @ Broome..... This is always an interesting game. It looks like the Eagles are finding their rhythum on offense and should come home with a win..... Chesnee 27 Broome 21

Gaffney @ Nation Ford..... This is the second meeting between these two teams. The first was a lopsided win by Gaffney last season. The second meeting will be a lopsided win by Gaffney as well..... Gaffney 49 Nation Ford 16

Spartanburg @ Mauldin..... The Mavericks beat the Vikings for the first time last year and should do it again this year..... Mauldin 23 Spartanburg 16

Union County @ Chapman..... Union County has turned their season around after an 0 and 3 start. The turn continues..... Union County 20 Chapman 8

Whitmire @ Blacksburg..... The Wolverines come into Blacksburg and steals a victory from the home team..... Whitmire 26 Blacksburg 23

Greer @ Clinton..... Greer has been up and down this season. This week they will be down again..... Clinton 29 Greer 20

Byrnes @ Hillcrest..... How long will Byrnes keep their starters in this week? Longer than they need to. Game over by 2nd quarter..... Byrnes 56 Hillcrest 6

COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK

Wake Forest @ Clemson..... The Clemson Tigers are chomping at the bit to get back on the field against an opponent. It has been two weeks since their meltdown at Maryland. Clemson's history has been when the Tigers have their backs to the wall they come out fighting. I expect that to happen this week. The Tigers will play their best game of the season, and it will take it, as Wake Forest has really been clicking on offense the last couple of weeks. Deacons QB Riley Skinner has passed for more than 360 yards each of the past two games. Skinner will present a very big challenge for the Clemson defense. I expect the Tigers to slow down the Deacons and leave Death Valley with a smile on their faces..... Clemson 27 Wake Forest 16

OTHER COLLEGE GAMES

Appalachian State @ Wofford..... The Terriers still remember that the Mountaineers put 70 points on the board last year. Wofford plays better this year but they come up short..... Appalachian State 31 Wofford 20

South Carolina @ Alabama..... The Gamecocks will hang around for a half, and the Tide will roll in the 2nd half..... Alabama 34 South Carolina 16

Texas vs Oklahoma at Dallas..... The Longhorns are still upset about Oklahoma playing for the National Championship last year even though they defeated the Sooners. They will make a statement..... Texas 34 Oklahoma 21

North Carolina State @ Boston College..... The Wolf Pack are in a must win situation and they will find a way to get it..... North Carolina State 24 Boston College 21

Georgia @ Vanderbilt..... The Bulldogs need this game in the worse kind of a way. It want be easy but they will get it..... Georgia 26 Vanderbilt 17

Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech..... This battle between the Techs should be a dozy. The Hokies will get it done..... Virginia Tech 27 Georgia Tech 17

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

Baltimore @ Minnesota..... The Ravens have dropped two in a row after a good start. The Vikings are one of five unbeatens left in the NFL. Ray Lewis against Brett Favre should be quiet a show. These two will meet again in Canton one day at the Hall of Fame. As for the game it should be a good one. The Ravens really need this game and I believe they will get it done..... Baltimore 20 Minnesota 17

OTHER NFL GAMES

Carolina @ Tampa Bay..... The Panthers got the monkey off their backs last week. They will keep the monkey on the Buccaneers back for one more week..... Carolina 27 Tampa Bay 17

Kansas City @ Washington..... This battle of the win less will end in a victory for the home team. Hail to the Redskins..... Washington 20 Kansas City 14

NY Giants @ New Orleans..... This battle between unbeatens will be won by the boys from the bayou..... New Orleans 26 NY Giants 23

Detroit @ Green Bay..... The Packers need this game if they are going to stay in the Division race. The Packer fans go home happy..... Green Bay 31 Detroit 14

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS

The NLCS has Philadelphia Phillies vs LA Dodgers. The ALCS has LA Angels vs NY Yankees. Should be two very good series.

There is a lot of exciting sports this weekend. SO ENJOY.

Until Monday.
