"...And there was a war in Huntington. Highlander fought against Timberwolf, and Timberwolf fought against Highlander..."
-reference and paraphrase of/to Revelation 12:7
That's the expectation for this Friday night. The biblical reference gives you an idea of how big this game is. Just as Michael the Archangel fights against the fallen angels, so too will Tyler Brown lead his team in what will be known as a war. The Timberwolves come off of a big win against opener St. Albans, while the Highlanders defeated the Redskins of Hurricane, 23-8. While both defenses looked solid, the T'Wolves have yet to face a formidable foe such as Hurricane.
The biggest test will be Huntington's response to Spring Valley's huge line. The offense returns 4 starters on the line, along with the two behemoth tackles Alex Locklear and Trevor Stacy. Huntington High has not faced a big line constantly coming at them, so to see their adjustments to the smash mouth style of play will be fun to watch. Hurricane put up good numbers and a fight against the Highlanders. St. Albans not so much.
The Wolves are loaded with weapons in the backfield different from last year's running back great ELIIIJAHH WELLMANN. The backfield this year is smaller, but quicker. Huntington High always has tons of athletes, so Spring Valley's biggest obstacle is going to be containing their speed.
The battle is set to begin at 7:30, Friday night, September 6 @ Bob Sang Stadium (Huntington High).
