Mitchell may need a couple of quarters to adjust to a franklin team that is much better than their last 3 opponents, but I think mitchell will pull out the win.

Polk should roll, look for Tipton to have a big game.

Heritage is not going to run away with this one, they have had issues with stopping Hendersonville's spread offense over the last few years and this game will be no different. Don't count out heritage but they have a tough challenge.

Avery's offense looks great, Hoilman has been great and he will be again Friday night. Averys defense has been questionable at best, I hope to see them improve on that side of the ball as the year goes on.

I believe that Brevard will be too much for Owen to handle, I don't see this game being too high scoring. If Owen can establish their run game they have a chance.

Madison is having a tough year, we all hope for a competitive game but I do not believe that madison will keep pace with the mustangs.

Player of the week: Going with Tipton from polk, but don't count out Tyler McKinney from mitchell or sheehan from heritage.

Upset alert: Franklin over Mitchell, historically this is not an upset but the past couple of years franklin has regressed a little. If Mitchell cannot win the battle at the line this could be a low scoring affair.

Blowout alert: Polk could runaway with their game this friday.

Game of the week: Heritage Vs. Hendersonville should be a very interesting game, two completely different styles of football. If Heritage dominates the line and drains the clock they will be in a good position, but hendersonville will be looking to spread the defense out and take shots down the field.

Lets hear yall's predictions below.

I just hope we are able to keep up the stellar defense this week. So far this year Polk has given up 6 points and that was to Cherokee on the first drive (I believe it was). Good luck to all conference teams tho

Mitchell..so far Franklin hasn't generated many points except against Rabun who after thier first game against a home school team has allowed 45 per game. Franklin does seem to have a better run D as in the Murphy- Swain games but had issues against the pass in the Asheville- Rabun games so I believe if Mitchell pass game is on they'll do well offensively.
Polk... No issues handling E.H.

Mtn Heritage... This is a hard one to pick especially being played @ Hendersonville.. probably as already said low scoring close game.

Avery

Brevard.. another hard one, just giving it to the home team who seems to have a good D but only scored 16 on East Rutherford might be another low score close game.

Smoky Mtn...poor Madison

Thanks Mountie. You just guaranteed Heritage wins. I do remember the games a few years back where Heritage would get beat to Hendersonville. Mitchell would beat Hendersonville and Heritage would beat Mitchell. If I’m not mistaken that senario played out two strait years. When the Bearcats played in our conference.

Good luck and safe travels to every one tonight. Get it done WHC, go Mountaineers!
I'm afraid I'll miss this one, my youngest daughter who lives 7 hours away and I don't get to see much anymore is coming home tonight for a weekend visit. But like you I pray for safe travels, no injuries on the field and good sportsmanship. I hope a Mitchell fan on here is going and will give up dates that I can glance at, I might not be able to listen to the radio.

Yosef1381, our guys didn’t have much problem with it tonight. Hendo actually received a gift to get their 6 points!

Mavrick69, It did happen two years in a row.
I just went to Carolina Preps team pages and looked at the records in the Western Highlands Conference for the years 2015 and 2016 in both years Hendersonville,Mitchell and Mountain Heritagewent 5 and 1 both years in conference play, with Hendersonville beating Heritage. Mitchell beating Hendersonville,and Heritage beating Mitchell both seasons.
