Skyline at Idaho Falls - Friday, Oct. 9
Football: The 2009 Emotion Bowl is this Friday at Ravsten Stadium in Idaho Falls. In its 44-year history, Skyline has the most wins, 25-19, but Idaho Falls won in the past two years. This season, the Grizzlies have a higher ranking (5-0) than the Tigers (2-3). The Emotion Bowl is a big deal for both 5A teams, so you can expect a close game.
Our Pick: Skyline
Highland (Pocatello) at Pocatello - Friday, Oct. 9
Football: The two teams from Pocatello face each other this Friday at Holt Arena in the 2009 Black and Blue Bowl. Highland (5A) has a 5-1 record and has won the majority of previous years’ games against Pocatello (4A), who is 2-4 this season. However, given the big rivalry between the teams, you should not count out the underdog just yet. The Indians won their recent game against Jerome, 34-13.
Our Pick: Highland
Prairie at Genesee - Friday, Oct. 9
Football: The Genesee Bulldogs play the Prairie Pirates Friday night. The two top 1A teams are undefeated so far this season, both with 5-0 records. Prairie dominated Lapwai last week, 46-0, and Genesee beat Lewis County, 42-14.
