Bluffton-Berkeley Preview

BERKELEY AT BLUFFTON

Who: Berkeley High School (1-0) at Bluffton High School (2-0)

Where: Bobcat Stadium

When: 7:30 p.m. today

What's important: Berkeley has a powerful offense that put up 39 points in its season-opening win against Dutch Fork last week. Look for the Stags to run the option early and often against the Bluffton defense. The Bobcats will continue to feed running backs Timmy Smith and Zach Frazier -- a game plan that has led them to a 2-0 start to the season.

Projected starters

Bluffton -- Offense: B.J. Kitty, QB; Zach Frazier, RB; Timmy Smith, RB; Stephen Bradley, WR; Alfonza Powell, WR; Travis Ramsey, WR; Matt Sandusky, LT; Randy Grayson, RT, Jaron Bishop, C; Lewis Black, G; Steven Szczepanik or Andrew Nickerl, G. Defense: Steven Szczepanik, DT; Lucas Crutchfield, NG; Anthony Gardner, DT; Lewis Black, ILB; Darryl Jackson, ILB; Jordan Bryan, OLB; Ethan Green, OLB; Stephen Bradley, CB; Jimmy Tillman, CB; Taylor McDonnell, S; Desmond Jenkins, S. Special teams: Dimitrious Howell, P; Alfonza Powell, KR/PR.

Prediction

Berkeley offense too much for Bobcats -- Stags by 13.
