Will be interesting to see how next year plays out. Valley loses Dalton Meade as well as a bunch of starters on the line, so I expect them to take a step back. But on the other hand, they do get both West and Martin at home in the regular season after traveling to both this year.

Still, with West having Cline back for his senior year, they will be the favorite going into next season.

Martin County gave Valley three TDs on mistakes the first go around. 70 yard bomb on 3rd and 15. Pick six. And blocked punt for TD. Cards D played well early. I think if they can come out with some confidence and play well early and often this game then they can move on. They play the games for a reason and we will find out Friday night just how it will go. I think these two teams are more even than the score of the last game indicated. But I have been wrong before so we shall see. Good luck to both teams and great job on successful seasons.
