Spartanburg at J.L.Mann

Post by Noble Savage »

Mann is averaging 450+ yards a game.
47 points a game.
Giving up 15 points a game
They have shut out Eastside,Woodruff,Wade Hampton and Blythewood

Spartanburg is giving up 13 points a game.

I'm interested to see where those "other points" points go in this game.

Spartanburgs two worst opponents record wise were Maudlin & Dorman

I have a hard time believing Mann is going to get close to 47 points
They lost 2 of the 3 games they played against teams with winning records,

We haven't played each other since the 2014 & 2015 regular season finale.

I think this will be a good game. Who knows? This season has been nuts.

Looking at the schedules, it is very obvious that the Vikings played a much more difficult schedule than the Patriots. Five of the teams on the Viking's SC opponents (not sure about Grayson, but I'm sure they are as well) are still alive in the playoffs while three of the Patriots opponents are still alive. I would give the Vikings the nod on Strength Of Schedule.

Spartanburg..........................J L Mann
AT South Pointe …........... AT Eastside
AT Dutch Fork …............. VS Riverside
VS Gettys Broome …....... VS Woodruff
VS Grayson, GA …........... VS Easley
AT Riverside …................ AT Greenville
AT Mauldin …................. AT Wade Hampton
AT Byrnes ….................. AT Woodmont
VS Gaffney …................ VS T L Hanna
AT Boiling Springs …....... VS Mauldin
VS Dorman …............... AT Hillcrest

I am not sure of the HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE at J L Mann as it has been quite a while since I've been to the Stadium; however, playing at home could be a positive for the Patriots since (1) they will be getting more fan support since they have the most seating and (2) I'm not sure how many of the Viking fans will travel. I don't see fan support for many teams being as good as it used to be in years past. I guess folks today are not as excited for high school football.

All in all, I'm going to be picking the Vikings as I think they are the more tested team and I feel that the level of competition makes the records "appear" to favor the Patriots while if they exchanged schedules, I think the Vikings may be 8-2 while the Patriots would likely be 3-7.

Spartanburg 31- 14

offensively Spartanburg looks much improved since the backup QB #17 Burke have been starting. I'm not sure if the starting QB #18 TJ Johnson will make it back this season. The team as a whole looked pretty good against Dorman and Rock Hill. JL Mann will be a tougher outing. They have good athletes on both sides of the ball. I believe this game will be decided on the final paly. I'll take Spartanburg!!

Spartanburg Vikings - 23

JL Mann Patriots - 20
