HUGE home opener for coach Boykin and the Clinton Dark Horses. In my opinion this is Boykins biggest game to date in his Clinton tenure, the pressure to win this game is very very high. Last week Clinton showed their ability to adapt by switching to wildcat and H back run heavy offense. I was extremely impressed with their defense, it was suffocating at times. This week I have heard that Jaden Williams #15 is out which is a big loss but Clinton has huge depth. QB1 Miles is back and I expect him to prosper against these slower defenses he will be facing this year compared to last at Rolesville. Miles is always looking to take the top off defenses and makes great reads for a 16 year old kid. I don't expect him to roll out as much with the injured knee but he is a capable pocket passer. RB1 Miller is a lighting bolt in a bottle who creates lots of yards after initial contact. Clintons size, speed and coaching is way up there
Midway looked strong week one vs Hobbton blowing them out the water. They had a beautiful pass to run ratio, slowed the game down when they wanted and went tempo when they wanted. They controlled every single aspect of last Fridays nights game. With all that being said it was Hobbton..... slower secondary, poor dline play and the linebackers are not what Clinton will put out there tonight. The Clinton secondary is faster, stronger and smarter. Midway should be able to establish a good run game because of a great o line and greats RBs but if they shoot themselves in the foot with mistakes and get behind the chains I can't see them being able to recover.
I expect this game to be back and forth throughout because both teams do match up pretty well but overall depth and limiting mistakes are where this game will be won.
