Opening Drive (Oct. 10): Game night, part one

With a short slate of games this evening, there are some interesting matchups, including Centennial at Page, Ravenwood at CPA and Rossview at Lipscomb Academy.

With most teams off for fall break, plenty of people will be at games tonight and tomorrow night scouting future opponents. The weather should be nice, so unless you’re watching the Preds or the ALDS, make sure and get out to a game. That Patriots-Giants game won’t be worth watching.

We’ll have cameras at the Centennial-Page and Ravenwood-CPA contests, so look for those photo galleries and videos on our social media sites, and follow us on Twitter (@615_Preps) for updates from those games.

Also, congratulations to Stratford’s James Moore – he’s our Player of the Week for Week 7 after his 12-carry, 239-yard, five total TD performance. Once we can get a headshot of Moore (email midstateprepsplus@gmail.com if you have one), we’ll put that on the website as well.
