Game Preview: Florence at Decatur

The Red Raiders of Decatur are the biggest obstacle between thre Falcons and a possible playoff berth.  Better than just a playoff berth, it could mean home field advantage if someone else can beat Huntsville.  Last year Decatur defeated Florence 27-14.  That was at Braly Stadium.  As a matter of fact, the Red Raiders have outscored the Falcons 159 - 82 and the Falcons have only one win in six tries.  But this is 2011.  The Florence defense is very good and the offense is starting to produce points.  It is a huge game for both teams.  The teams have three common opponents so far this year.  Both teams lost to Huntsville.  Decatur 24-10 and Florence 30-18.  Both beat Sparkman and Buckhorn rather easily as the Red Raiders won both by a combined 63 while Florence won by a combined 56.  So it appears to have all the makings of another fantastic high school football game.  On paper it appears to be an even match-up.  When teams are even it is best to pick the stronger defense.  That would be Florence.  Advantage - Florence Falcons in a tight one.
