Expect the Bulldogs to be determined to make a better showing than last week. Losing like they did to a team that Rogers beat handily COULD make for an over-confident Pirate squad. Don't count on it. This Rogers team is Senior-heavy - which means leadership and experience. Look for them to be anxious to seal the Region Title, home field advantage in Round 1 and host a #4 seed. All should motivate the Pirates to play well. The Bulldogs have their backs against the wall. A win could force a 3-way tie for first. Sometimes a loss motivates a team to play better. (See Rogers after Brooks=undefeated...see LCHS after Rogers=totally dominate). Sheffield will be ready and will make things difficult on the Pirates. In the end, the Rogers defense will not allow the Bulldogs to score enough to overcome the ability of Grigsby, Kerr & Company to put points up. Advantage - Rogers.
