Week 3: VASJ (2-0) @ Mansfield (0-2)

[C'Town216]

When: Friday, September 5th
Time: 7pm
Where: Arlin Field, Mansfield, OH

What to expect from a VASJ perspective

VASJ is coming into one of the top facilities in Ohio for HS football, at Arlin Field. The Vikings have running clocked both opponents they have faced this year and have outscored their opponents 80-14. The Viking offense strives off the run game lead by future Buckeye, Bo Jackson and Junior running back TJ Moore. When not running the ball, VASJ will utilize play action to find their stud TE’s Purdue commit Brian Kortovich and Sophmore D’Angelo White. The defense has showed their dominance where they’ve only allowed 14 points total this season, 7 against the starters.

Mansfield is coming off two close contests falling to St.Vincent-St.Mary’s 14-21 and against Canfield in OT 14-20. The Tygers will have a tough task to containing the Vikings offense if they want to seek their first win of the year. Outside of that information, for the Mansfield fans, how do the Tygers look, who are their key players, and what can we expect from the team?

I like the my Vikings by a few scores in this one, but Mansfield is a quality team. We will get burned if we are looking ahead to the rubber match against Kenston.

Arlin Field is an awesome facility. Top notch.

Bo is gonna have a day. In saying that, GO TYGERS.

I think VASJ by 2-3 TDs. They have a nice roster and seem to be building confidence. Just feed Jackson.

Didn't the Vikes fumble inside the 5 with TJ Moore and fumble again into the endzone in the first half? I heard it was 399 to 9 in yards in the first half. WOW. The crew stayed home and stayed dry. Watching Kirtland and Perry on You Tube. Like 4th OT.
