SEP 30, 2016 WEEK 7 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEW (Audio-Broadcast Preview)

The final third of the high school football season starts Friday night on J-98 as the North County Raiders and Windsor Owls collide in Bonne Terre. North County enters at 3-3, having lost to Hillsboro 44-22 last week. Raider coach Dave Dallas looks at what the Owls offer up.

 

Dallas added that his squad needs to avoid the sloppy mistakes.

 

Windsor enters at 2-4, averaging a solid 32 points per game and a rough 43 allowed per game. Although the offense scored 39 and 49 in their recent losses to Hillsboro and Festus, respectively, coach Greg Westermayer says they’ve left points on the field.
