SPORTS WEEKEND PREVIEW ( 12th Edition )

TO MUCH RICKEY WILLIAMS FOR PANTHERS!

THE NFL GAME OF THE WEEK was played last night, as the Miami Dolphins got an outstanding game from Rickey Williams as they defeated the Carolina Panthers 24 to 17. Williams rushed for 119 yards and two rushing TDs and he also had a receiving TD. The win by the Dolphins pulls their record even at 5 and 5. The Panthers record falls to 4 and 6 and their playoff hopes took a serious blow.

DID YOU KNOW? Last nights game against the Panthers was the first game in Rickey William's career that he had a rushing and receiving TD in the same game.

Well we have another week of High School playoffs to enjoy. There were a few surprises last week and they're some very good games tonight. Lets look at some of them.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK

Gaffney @ Summerville..... This second round Division 1 4A playoff game features the two most storied programs in South Carolina High School football history. Gaffney with 16 State Championships and Summerville with 11. Summerville is still coached by legendary Coach John McKissick. McKissick has more coaching wins than any coach at any level of football. This is the third year in a row that Gaffney has had to go to Summerville in the playoffs. Two years ago the Indians dropped a one point decision to the Green Wave in the State semi-finals. Last year Gaffney defeated the Wave 40 to 10 in the first round. All you really have to say about this game is Gaffney vs Summerville. I believe the Indians will come home with a victory..... Gaffney 31 Summerville 23

OTHER HIGH SCHOOL PLAYOFF GAMES

Mauldin @ Byrnes..... When these two met a few weeks back Byrnes put 72 points on the board. They will win big again..... Byrnes 48 Mauldin 17

Dorman @ Irmo..... The Cavaliers will have to play better this week than they did last week. They will do just that..... Dorman 27 Irmo 14

Spartanburg @ Sumter..... The Vikings surprised the state last week with their upset of Rock Hill. The Vikings come back to reality this week..... Sumter 21 Spartanburg 17

Calhoun County @ Chesterfield..... This should be Chesterfields toughest test of the playoffs so far. The Rams pass with flying colors..... Chesterfield 31 Calhoun County 16

Hartsville @ Northwestern..... The Trojans have been rolling along. The roll continues..... Northwestern 34 Hartsville 17

Daniel @ Greenville..... The Daniel Lions got the Chester monkey off their backs last week. They get a Red Raider monkey on their backs this week..... Greenville 17 Daniel 14

Batesburg-Leesville @ Abbeville..... This battle between two teams of Panthers will be a hard physical battle. I see Batesburg-Leesville getting a second consecutive upset on the road..... Batesburg-Leesville 20 Abbeville 16

COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK

Virginia @ Clemson..... The Clemson Tigers need this win to be crowned ACC Atlantic Division Champs. The Tigers have been close to a Division Title before only to fold. This appears to be a new breed of Tigers. Which Tiger team shows up, the old Tigers or the new breed of Tigers? The Tigers can book their trip to Tampa for the ACC Title Game..... Clemson 37 Virginia 10

OTHER COLLEGE GAMES

North Carolina @ Boston College..... The Tar Heels are on a roll, but the Eagles need this game to stay in the Division race..... North Carolina 20 Boston College 13

Ohio State @ Michigan..... The Wolverines desperately needs this game. They won't get it..... Ohio State 27 Michigan 17

Duke @ Miami..... The Blue Devils are vastly improved this season. They will play well but come up short..... Miami 34 Duke 20

Kentucky @ Georgia..... The Georgia Bulldogs win one for UGA who passed on Thursday..... Georgia 28 Kentucky 20

Kansas @ Texas..... This would be a heck of a basketball game. Football, not so much..... Texas 36 Kansas 14

North Carolina State @ Virginia Tech..... The Wolfpack's slide continues..... Virginia Tech 34 North Carolina State 24

OTHER NFL GAMES

Cleveland @ Detroit..... This should be a tightly contested game between two 1 and 8 teams going nowhere..... Detroit 17 Cleveland 13

San Francisco @ Green Bay..... This game has serious playoff implications. Both teams need this game to stay in the race..... Green Bay 24 San Francisco 20

Washington @ Dallas..... The Cowboys should bounce back against the rival Skins..... Dallas 28 Washington 10
