MWL predictions for September 2

I'm going for the sweep. 7-0!

1. Marist over Corvallis.  I think there's too much speed on Marist's team,  thus preventing Corvallis from scoring enough to take advantage of Marist getting their new Qb in the groove.

2. Eagle Point upset over Mountain View.  Eagle Point has been getting closer each year.  Game is at Eagle Point.  Going to be a great game, as will the Marist game.

3.  Churchill over Benson.  Duh.

4.  Ashland over Klamath Falls.  Coach Hall isn't going to try the Pistol formation this year, so the Grizzlies should get off to a good start.

5. Willamette over South Albany.  This would be a bit of an upset.  But Willamette seems to have a new attitude this year.

6. Marshfield over North Bend in Coos Bay.  If the Pirates lose, there may not be anyone to run this website.

7.  Springfield over Silverton.  Springfield's line needs to come out and destroy Silverton from the get go.  If they don't, then the Silver Foxes are likely to take this one.

MWL fan polls are saying Eagle Point, Willamette and Springfield will lose.  All three are evenly matched in their first game.  All three have new quarterbacks.  Each one could go either way.  Certainly, a strong showing by any of these three teams is going to show that their hard work over the summer paid off.

You can still vote in the fan polls.
