GI's Picks
Friday, October 12th
Salmon Arm Golds @ South Kamloops Titans: The Titans seem to be putting a better product on the field this year than their opponents and they have played a more extensive schedule. The roster is deeper across the board for the hosts. GI's Pick: SKS by 9
Howe Sound Sounders @ Windsor Dukes: Howe Sound has really improved since three and are going to challenge Windsor on the edge offensively and defensively. Windsor's offensive line is amongst the top three in AA ball right now and it will likely carry the day for the Dukes along with the precise execution of the entire offensive scheme. GI's Pick: Windsor by 16
Kelly Road Roadrunners @ Nechako Valley Vikings: This is going to be a tough tangle between two very evenly matched teams. Kelly Road has been playing Interior squads leading up to this date and that experience will have elevated their game a bit compared to the visitors. GI's Pick: Roadrunners by 8
Clarence Fulton Maroons @ Westsyde Blue Wave: Fulton traditionally plays its best ball in October and November. They play a tough September, find the chinks in their armor and clean things up. I think the Maroons have more balance in their offense and have defensively faced a team like Langley. This will be a good game. GI's Pick: Maroons by 11
Robert Bateman Timberwolves @ G.W. Graham Grizzlies: Massive playoff implications for both teams here with the winner owning the inside track to at least third spot in the division. Bateman has more depth and a far more diverse offensive attack. The line of scrimmage will be contested equally, but the backfield/receiver-db contest is heavily in Bateman's favor. Special Teams to the Timberwolves as well. GI's Pick: Bateman by 14
Valleyview Vikings @ Vernon Panthers: Vernon is peerless in the Interior and possibly the province. Look for the Panthers to air it out early and often vs the visitors. Defensively, the Panther roster is too big, strong, fast and experienced for the Viking offense to have much of an impact. Special teams, Vernon. GI's Pick: Panthers by 30 plus
College Heights Cougars @ D.P. Todd Trojans: The Cougars ought to grind this one out on the ground this Friday. I think the game will be close til mid-to late 3rd quarter before the wheels fall off for the Trojans. GI's Pick: Cougars by 11
Saturday, October 13th
SRT Titans @ Frank Hurt Hornets: This is a good bounce game for SRT after getting crushed by divisional rival Langley. Frank Hurt has struggled this year, but you have to admire them going back to practice and reloading for another tilt week-after-week. GI's Pick: SRT by 24 plus
John Barsby Bulldogs @ Holy Cross Crusaders: Both teams are coming off of wins from this past weekend. Look for a very inspired Crusader effort on the field this Saturday. The HC defense does a great job vs the pass as opposed to standing up in front of a power running game such as Ballenas. Barsby is a whole different experience offensively and quite similar in scheme to the HC offense. Special teams and big plays on offense will likely carry the day for either squad. GI's Pick: Barsby by 14
