2010: Week 5 Preview
U15
King-Philip @ Norwood. KP has been running mid-pack this season with a .500 record while Norwood is struggling on the field. Norwood is working on their defense and trying to stem the tide while KP seems to be working on their offense. The two will collide in a showdown in Norwood tonight. Prediction: KP takes it.
Foxboro @ Westwood. Westwood is the surprise of the season with an offense that is able to rack up some numbers and a defense that continues to improve. Foxboro is having a great season and they confound opponents with their zone defense. Westwood is going to have to hit the field with a purpose if they hope to find any cracks in Foxboro’s defense. Prediction: close game, coming down to the wire, Westwood for the upset.
Walpole @ Canton. Canton is having a light switch of a season; they took a beating at the hands of Westwood and Foxboro, but then took out their aggressions on Mansfield and Norwood. Walpole has dropped one to Foxboro, had a street fight with Westwood, but took it to Norwood and KP. Prediction: Walpole turns out the lights on Canton.
Franklin @ Mansfield. Franklin has 2 wins under their belt against KP and Norwood but suffered at the hands of Foxboro and Westwood. Mansfield is occupying the basement and looking to find their groove. Prediction: unless Mansfield can begin to gel as a team and string together some offensive drives, this looks to be a Franklin win.
U13
Walpole @ Canton. Walpole ran head first into 2 strong teams, Norwood and KP, dropping their games in dramatic fashion; however, they showed promise against Westwood and Foxboro. Canton is struggling and continues to search for answers and a first win. Prediction: Walpole wins and moves above .500
Foxboro @ Westwood. Foxboro is a bit of a mystery (still looking for game scores), but rumor is they’re struggling. Westwood is new to the league and though they dropped a couple of games to Walpole and Mansfield, they absolutely ran over Canton. Prediction: Westwood wins at home.
Norwood @ King-Philip. Sure to be the game of the week, Norwood heads to Wrentham to take on the KP juggernaut. Both of these teams are putting up huge numbers and fireworks are expected on the field tonight. KP’s strong middies vs Norwood’s strong attack. Tough call here. Prediction: it’s a coin toss, Norwood comes up heads.
Franklin @ Mansfield. Based on the numbers, Franklin doesn’t appear to be a threat, until you realize that they hung right in there with the 2 teams leading the pack this year; Norwood and KP. Mansfield on the other hand dropped a game by a wide margin to KP, but also rang up some big numbers against Canton and Westwood. Prediction: Franklin drives home with the win.
