What Lincoln is Thinkin’ - Questions for Week 1
Week 1 Blitz Questions:Does West Florence have enough at the skill positions to go with their fantastic lines? With Malliciah Goodman and the rest of the studs on the front lines, the Knights are huge and talented in the trenches. But there are huge question marks at running back and wide receiver. Speedy South Florence will try to give them a run on Friday.
Was firing Mark Barnes the right thing to do in Laurinburg? Scotland County has routinely been one of the best teams in the state of North Carolina in the regular season. But Barnes was never able to win enough games in the playoffs. If the Scots struggle out of the gate in 2008, fans in Laurinburg may be clamoring for their old coach back.
Will Timmonsville be better without Coach Tate? No one is debating that the Whirlwinds were awful last year, but they were also young. Timmonsville will be much-improved in the first year of the Jimmy Woods era - they should show it against Lee Central on Friday.
Is Lamar THAT bad? The Silver Foxes could do nothing against two-time reigning champion Cheraw, and the Braves have beaten up a lot of teams lately. But Lamar didn't look like a playoff team last Friday, never mind a state championship-caliber team.
Is Latta THAT good? A two and a half year losing streak came to an end on Friday with a drubbing of Aynor. The Blue Jackets will have a down year, but if the Vikings can figure out a way to win at East Clarendon Friday, Jeff Bley could be on his way to the playoffs in his first season.
What does Tyrone Davis have in store for his old team? The new coach of Georgetown opens up against the team he was a d-coordinator for last year - Carvers Bay. The Bulldogs lost their first nine games last season, and will go into Bear Stadium serious underdogs. But there are few people outside of the program who know the Bears like Davis.
Can Conway hang with Summerville? Doubtful, but both sides of the ball looked great for the Tigers against North Myrtle Beach. Conway has had relatively little hype this offseason (for Tiger standards), but if they could find a way to win this game, they instantly become a state title contender.
What are your questions for Week 1, and what are you looking forward to the most?
