Week 3: Perkins (61) @ Columbus Independence (28)

[BellevueBuckeye]

I'll go ahead and assume this is the first ever matchup between these two.

Independence HS is part of the Columbus City School district, and last year they went 5-5.

 I think opponents were pretty even. I'm about to ramble a bit, BUT, on the Independence side, Dayton Meadowdale went 2-7 last year, 0-2 this year & Amanda Clearcreek went 8-2 last year, 2-0 so far this year, On the Perkins side,  Elyria Cath is 2-0 this year and 9-3 last year, Maumee didn't win a game last year and are 0-2 this year.  (Strength of schedule From last year) Columbus Independence #55 of 107 in Division 3... Sandusky Perkins #17 of 107 in Division 3 .

I'm going with Independence on this one tho, from what videos I found of them they are big and quick. And Maumee was able to put up 35 points against Perkins in an overtime game versus Independence pounding Dayton 56-8. Just my opinion and I  Hope I'm wrong but I think Perkins will have their hands full. Good luck Pirates!

I believe your assessment of this game Friday at Independence is Correct crazy fast. I believe they were projected to win 2 games this year (I predicted possibly 4), and this probably won’t be one of them. I will give Zeigler credit for a complete coaching overhaul, not sure if it was his idea, but hey. I would think Perkins would be looking to replace him if can’t turn things around this year. IDK

Their RB ran wild

Starting the season 2-1 will do loads to boost the moral and confidence of this team. To whoever was responsible for the schedule change up, kudos. Dropping Mansfield, Genoa, and Oak Harbor (3 teams that they had no chance in beating this year) for 3 teams they could compete with was a great move. I do believe that they will be 3-1 after next weeks home game vs Vermilion. This will give the players tons of confidence going into a tough SBC lake schedule, and as we all saw last year, anything can happen.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they wind up 3-7

Last 2 years Genoa has absolutely punished Perkins, so no. I’m talking Perkins. Woodmore IDK, I know nothing about them, so....
