Week 7 Predictions

For last week, I was 3 of 4, missing only the LaGrange win over NC Wesleyan. I am now 27-8 for the season. This week, Averett has a bye, so now we need to hope for a Huntingdon loss. The Hawks will host Maryville, and while I thought the Scots would have been more competitive, they have a very capable football team, and a strong defense. This will likely play out as a Huntingdon win, but an upset is not out of the realm of possibilities.

Huntingdon 27

Maryville 23



Ferrum hosts LaGrange, so the final battle of the conference Panthers will be held at Adams stadium on Saturday. For Ferrum this, like all games will be a must win........and this will not be an easy game. Look for LaGrange to test the pass defense of Ferrum throughout the day. Connor Blair the Huntingdon quarterback leads the conference in passing, and put up 500 passing yards against the Battling Bishops.
Home field advantage plus the way the Ferrum defense is playing will be enough to take Ferrum to 4-2.

Ferrum 34
LaGrange 28

The other two games pit Brevard at Methodist, and Greensboro at N.C. Wesleyan.....Look for the Monarchs and The Battling Bishops to prevail.
