East St. Louis did not play the middies last year. Middletown will win if the defense can stop Courtney Molton, who has earned a Division I scholarship from Arizona.
Last Saturday night Elder held off ESL Fliers 49-28. The closest the Flyers came was 21-20 in the second quarter when Courtney Moulton ran it in from 35 yards out. Had they made the extra point they could have tied the game.
"We got back to within one, but then we had too many defensive letdowns," East St. Louis coach Darren Sunkett (Source: USA Today - Jim Halley)
Both teams had 100-plus yard rushers in the first half as Brown ran five times for 101 yards for Elder and Moulton had 11 runs for 155 yards for the Flyers, along with two catches for 75 yards.
Krause calls his middies, "Physical and Fast."
My opinion, the offensive line and the defense as a whole are tough to beat. Couple that with offensive speed and a 6'4" 205 lb quarterback, Calib Watkins who can move, you got a team that is going to win allot of games.
