I’ll be live at this game Friday night so I thought I’d get myself up to speed before the game and share some of my research with you.


Why does this game matter?


Dickinson enters the toughest part of their district schedule this week when they play the tow teams currently tied for 3rd over the next two weeks and then they play the team they are currently tied for first with to wrap up the regular season. Dickinson will have a thought first round opponent in either North Shore or Atascocita and definitely want the 1st place finish and a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

Clear Springs currently sits tied for 4th, 2 games ahead of the teams in 5th. A win here might give the Chargers a shot at hosting a playoff game.

What I Expect to See


I expect to see Dickinson score plenty in this game. I also expect to see Clear Springs score plenty in the game. Dickinson should easily prevail but they haven’t been pressed in a game since Week 3 against Cy-Fair. I don’t expect THAT close of game but most likely their closest game since district play began. So far their margins of victory have been 52, 51, 57 and 51. I expect this game to be close than that.
