Byrnes D shows up & the HPO continues to do what they do. Should be a great game & close, but Byrnes finds a way to win.

I kind of agree with you B1. In my heart I believe the Byrnes defense might show up and put on a show. Woodruff offense is good and maybe the Byrnes D was looking ahead. Who knows? '

On paper though, Northwestern should be as good or better offensively and much better defensively. Byrnes to me is a slight underdog. John64 and 1st and Goal both have expressed their concerns. So I had to vote Northwestern but am totally prepared to be proven wrong.

Preparation is what is gonna give Byrnes the victory if they win but they've given up like 84 points give or take in the last two games? This is the game where Mr. Dixon will show what he's bringing to the table and which direction the D went after losing Miller.

Best of luck to both teams.

If the Defense plays like last Friday night, we lose and it could get ugly.

If the Defense plays like they did against Apopka, it could be an instant classic and come down the the final minute of the fourth quarter.

I'm going to try to make it, but Friday is the due date for my new grandson's arrival so ... not sure if I will be there or not!

I'm not going to predict a winner nor a score right now....

To me a Gaffney fan that has seen NW and also watched the Byrnes team play Apopka I think this could be a wild and crazy game. I look for Northwestern to play fast and i think they are a veteran team who went to the state title game last year and finished 2nd. I think Byrnes D will have a problem with the Northwestern O line that averages 325 lbs across the whole line. I believe that this could be a great game and I just hope both teams come out with no injuries and stay healthy the rest of the season
