BC (1-4) vs. Hephzibah (1-4)

Both teams enter this contest win one win having that win come against the Butler Bulldogs. The atmosphere of this 6:00pm, Saturday evening kickoff will make The St. James vs. Calvary matchup earlier in the day look like Death Valley. High school football on Saturday just isn't right but thats what happens when your at the mercy of the City of Savannah. After a visit from mighty Thomson last week, the Rebels bring in a lackluster program that has experienced little success. They have gone 3-10 since the Cadets defeated them last year by the score of 39-25. Hephzibah and BC have played two common opponents so far. The Rebels beat Butler by 4 and the Cadets won by 35. The Rebels fell to Thomson by 29 and the Cadets lost by 34, with both teams giving up 41 points.-- Hephzibah brings a wide open attach thats is rarely seen, especially in this area. The Rebels wing the ball all over the field showing little patience with the run game. Chris White has shown the capability to be a viable throwing QB but does not have the cast around him to be consistent. The O-line struggles much of the time and there has not been a player that has shown he can step up. The D-line for the Rebels has been extremely vulnerable to the run and therefore has not even been challanged through the air. The special teams is average at best.-- On paper this game looks to be a shootout. BC struggles to defend the pass, which Hephzibah does best. The Rebels have not stopped the run and thats all Herndon knows. Whichever defense is able to adjust the most will have the best chance to win. Hephzibah will put anywhere from 8-10 in the box and try to force BC to throw. I expect Stroud to bring the Blitz the entire game, much like he did against Butler when they were taking to the air in an effort to catch up. Cole Rossiter and company will need to play big in the secondary and T.J Telfair needs to keep running hard. BC has got to find a way to cut out the big play and make a team drive the length of the field. If they can do this for the first time this year, I think the Rebels lend themselves to making mistakes. BC has better coaching and that might be the difference. The second must win of the year goes the Cadets way and establishes a little momentum for Herdon going back to the Corral. BENEDICTINE- 31 Hephzibah- 25
