Friday night predictions
Here are the rest of Paul Dehner Jr.’s predictions leftover from Friday’s Herald.
SEMINOLE COUNTY (6-2) AT RANDOLPH-CLAY (2-6): A few weeks ago nobody would have thought these two teams would play a close game against each other. Seminole was rolling up points by the dozens and the Red Devils were on their way to what could be a winless season. But in the last three weeks Randolph found two wins and pushed sub-region champ Miller County in a 39-28 loss.
Seminole is favored to win here, but the Devils can score with them.
PREDICTION: Seminole County 51, Randolph-Clay 38
WORTH COUNTY (3-5) AT WESTOVER (3-5): These two teams have the same records but two different stories. Worth appears to have found its identity and even held a lead against Peach County last week in the third quarter. Westover hasn’t led much of anything the past four weeks, all losses.
Worth believes if it wins this week against the Pats and next week against Monroe they will be in the playoffs. That will likely be true if they could pull it off. They should get halfway there tonight.
PREDICTION: Worth County 16, Westover 7
DWS (8-2) AT BROOKWOOD (3-7): Brookwood is down this year and DWS is back up to its standard position. Technically, the Knights have nothing to play for with the Region 3-AAA title already in hand. But coach Allen Lowe wants to use this as an important dress rehearsal as the last game of DWS’ regular season. Expect more of the same from the Knights.
PREDICTION: DWS 40, Brookwood 10
TERRELL ACADEMY (7-2) AT WESTWOOD (3-5): The Eagles and Wildcats have had an exciting rivalry over the years that of late has been dominated by Terrell. The Eagles have won four consecutive in the series since losing eight of the previous nine.
Terrell is favored to keep its current streak alive, though the return of Mason Worsham at QB for the Wildcats gives them a fighting chance.
PREDICTION: Terrell Academy 28, Westwood 21
