Scouting Waubonsie Valley at Neuqua Valley

Posted October 07, 2010 11:00 pm

Waubonsie Valley (5-1, 3-0) at Neuqua Valley (4-2, 2-1)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. today, North Central College, Naperville

Last week: Waubonsie Valley 56, Larkin 21; Neuqua Valley 42, Metea Valley 0

Last year: Neuqua Valley 28, Waubonsie Valley 7

Outlook: Neuqua Valley owns an 8-3 edge in this district rivalry, which brings in both teams over .500 for the first time since 2006. Waubonsie is spotless in an Upstate Eight Valley Division that Neuqua still has sights on. Neuqua coach Bryan Wells will want to pound the ball with Trent Snyder, who has run for 829 yards, and limit the Warriors' option. Waubonsie quarterback Tommy Kolzow is expected back after a Week 3 concussion. He'll need protection from center Brian Nicolls and crew. Neuqua corners Alex Malandro and Ryan McDermott have allowed 8 completions in 46 throws. "It doesn't get any better than this," said Warriors coach Paul Murphy.

Next week: East Aurora at Waubonsie Valley; Neuqua Valley at Bartlett.
