GAME OFTHE WEEK
Liberty 2-1 at Concord 2-1.....Liberty 35 Concord 32....This looks like another shootout that Liberty had with Wood and taking into account, Concord lost to Wood 27-26...Both teams will be out to win, so there is no telling how high the score may be as it could be any bodies win...
Oakdale 1-1 at Campolindo 2-1.....Oakdale 21 Campolindo 20..It appears that the Mustangs are not as strong as the 2015 team, but Oakdale has a bad habit of reloading, but they face a nasty passing attack by the cougars, so we have two different styles of offense facing each other, so defense will tell the story...
GAMES OF INTEREST
Kennedy 3-0 at Madison Park 0-2...Kennedy of Richmond 39 Madison Park 12.....The only reason we mention this game is to put Madison Park on the map...they enter the season with only 14 players and can't afford to loose any to injury, plus thia will be the Trojans first real test...

Antioch 2-1 at Rancho Cotate 1-1.....Antioch 48 Rancho Cotate 20...Stopping Harris from turning the corners and keeping him from breaking out thru the line is a must, or RC will face the same thing that San Leandro did last week....The RC passing attack is potent and could change the appearance of the whole game...
