Take key seniors away from an 0-10 team and what do you have? Answer: a lot of young guys playing their hearts out. The Denbigh Patriots come off a season where they were 0-10. They’re playing in a super competitive district and have few proven weapons at their disposal. How’s it going to play out?

The Western Branch Bruins are a heritage program that had fallen on hard times. When Athletic Director Mark Didawick stepped in to turn the tide, his selection of Greg Gibson couldn’t have been better. Gibson came to the area from California. In one season, he turned around the Norview football program, taking them from a winless 2010 to a 2011 season that almost saw them make the playoffs. Big things are expected from Western Branch in 2012. The cupboards are certainly full with talent.

Warwick Head Coach Juan Jackson has his squad ready again. This year’s Raiders may not be as big, but they’re just as athletic and Coach Jackson feels like they’re smarter this year. Warwick has had the good fortune of making it to the playoffs five years running. In the last two years, the Raiders have had to face Phoebus in the first round of the playoffs and they’ve fallen. This week, they get a chance to avenge those losses when they face the Phantoms in their opening game.

Both teams came in with a lot to prove. Both teams were well coached. Oscar Smith had the home crowd. Ultimately, experience at quarterback made the difference.

Tonight, it’s the only game in town. There’s no college football. No other high school games. Once again, the Oscar Smith Tigers play on national television, and this time it’s on the big network: ESPN. This is no ESPNU game. You can see it on the big screen, in hi-def. What you’ll miss though, might be the biggest opportunity yet to root on the hometown Tigers against another nationally ranked opponent who comes in determined to embarrass Oscar Smith.

It wasn’t a perfect performance, but the I.C. Norcom Greyhounds looked ready for prime time. Penalties stacked against Norcom, but the Greyhounds controlled the game and cruised against Wilson on Friday night.
