Here's what they had to say about the matchup:

Head Coach Gerry Pannoni of South County: "We have focused very hard on taking great angles for our run fits, and also pushed the kids hard in pursuits. For us to be successful in the game we have to control (running back) Pierson- El and (quarterback) Williams offensively, they are their big play guys. Offensively we have to control the ball and not leave any points on the field."

Head Coach Jeremiah Davis of West Potomac: "As in last week this week we face another team who went to the state championship game last year. They have the leadership and know how to win tough games. They are 0-2 but they have only lost by a total of eight points so they are one play away from winning their games thus far. They have athletes at the skill position and a qb who can run throw and score. So we will have our hands full defending their attack. Our keys to victory will be to control the ball play great special teams and contain their athletes. We are not taking this game lightly and have had a great week of practice."

Gametime is 7:30 p.m. at .Β
