Can Dunmore win against on Jennette?

With some homecooking, I was able to watch the AA playoff games between Loyalsock vs. Delone and Loyalsock vs. Dunmore. Loyalsock was able to dominate Delone by cutting off the outside. Delone had beaten undefeated Trinity the week before. Dunmore was able to take away the vertical passing game of Loyalsock and limited the running of Austin Knighton. Do the Bucks have enough of a line to slow down Terrelle Pryor? The lines in this game will dictate if the west is all hype like Shady Side Academy in 1998 or will this be the coronation on the statewide stage.

Roth on the Move?
Southern Area coach of 24 seasons Jim Roth may be on the move. Read an account here. Roth is 13 wins she of 300. Would he be able to there with Shikellamy. By the way, how would you interview Roth for a high school coaching job.
Jack Henzes
Jack Henzes longtime head coach of Dunmore High School will have the distinction come Saturday of the longest time between state final appearances. The last time the Bucks made it to a state final was in 1989 giving Henzes 18 years between appearances with the same school. 1989 was only the second year of state playoffs for the PIAA.
This mark could stand for a long time due to the short shelf life of a high school coach at one school.

Dunmore has a good chance of winning. Terrelle Pryor does not scare us. Don't count us out!

If Dunmore could take out the big play of Pryor, the Bucks have a chance. I don't think there overwhelming underdogs. This game shapes up like Steel-High-Bloomsburg. You have to adjust quick to speed you never seen. Dunmore did get a "look" this week in practice. Maybe it can pay off.
