Coronado looks very good but they haven't play anyone worth a darn. Name 3 better defenses? Sure Gorman, Liberty, Palo and Centennial. Coronado might be as good if not better than AV but we won't know until Coronado plays a better team, which might just be GV.
*Not discrediting Coronado, they are the clear #3 team in the SE and I would say when they play Basic we will see just how good that defense is and if they are in all actually the 2nd best team in the SE. Either way, very happy to see another SE team step up and replace a far fallen Foothill on the pecking scale
I don't know guys... Green Valley may be the upset of the week here vs Coronado. I liked what I saw this past Friday. If the defense continues to improve; the offense is there. It's going to be a good game, and if Coronado comes in a bit comfortable, GV will beat them. The Gators are young and fearless going against a bunch of seniors who may come in overconfident.
My take, that's all.... But I have my money on the underdog here.... GV 31- Coronado 26
Cimarron over Las Vegas
The power of Cimarron will be too much
Canyon over Palo
Canyon joins the big boys this year
Silverado over Eldorado
Sounds like a western movie
Liberty over Rancho
Liberty just has too much size and speed
Basic over Bonanza
Bonanza should be playing better, lets go Bonanza!
Coronada over Green Valley
Green Valley will play well,will come up short
Centenial over Arbor
Centenial needs offence to play better
Durrango over Valley
Durrango!What's going on? Stop reading how good you are and go play and prove it
Legacy over Spring Valley
Legacy will put up lots of points in this one
Desert Oasis over Foothill
Foothill just cant seem to click
Mojave over Faith (yes I'm still a homer)
Coach Delgado opens up the offence this week
( Its Rattler Time!)
Clark over Pahrump no Pahrump over Clark
I dont know who wins this. But will be confidence boost for the winner
Cheyenne over Western
Remember Western got the death penalty last year, will take 3 to 4 season to make a come back
Desert Pines over Boulder
my upset alert
Moapa over Sunrise
Sunrise can score this year but wont win
Chaparral over Virgin Valley
close game , maybe overtime
Gorman over Servite
Gorman bounces back with victory
el777 you are right about Green Valley, they have been working for a few years now to build that program, the Green Valley Knights are paying off well for them
I'll certainly agree that if Coronado comes in thinking GV will be a cakewalk then yes GV could upset them. GV appears to be decent, hence why I think they will put 20 on an apparently good Coronado.
