Players to Watch: Westview- senior DL Chuks Amaechi, senior DB Robert Mendez, senior DB Jordan Keel, senior RB Shayne Miller, junior RB Seivion Morris, senior DL Malik Timmons

St. Mary's- junior WR Lukas Treffers, senior QB Joseph Frederico, senior WR Andrew Gomez

Keys to a Westview win: Pound the rock! St. Mary's has allowed 65, 49, and 49 points scored against them in three consecutive weeks, while WV has scored 71 and 69 points the last two weeks. Expect a heavy dose of Shayne Miller and Seivion Morris tonight. Stop St. Mary's passing attack, they are a pass first team and have three receivers with over 20 catches already on the year.

Keys to a St. Mary's win: I like to be positive when I write but I think most every feels that St. Mary's is a big underdog. To win this game they are going to have to play a perfect game, no turnovers, few penalties and capitalize on turnovers. Stopping Westview's running attack should be the focus. The Knights are over 5:1 run to pass in terms of yards on the year.
