Valley View (1-1) is going on the road for the first time this season Friday to face near-neighbor Tioga (1-1). The Eagles beat Alvord 36-27 last week, while Tioga routed S&S Consolidated 48-14. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Tioga’s biggest offensive threat is sophomore running back Johnny Dorpinghaus, who is averaging 166 rushing yards per game early in the season. He has scored six of Tioga’s 10 rushing touchdowns and has the Bulldogs’ only receiving score. Slowing him down will be vital for Valley View. The Bulldogs handled S&S’s offense, but Collinsville ran for 327 yards in week one. The Eagles need a good day running the ball from sophomore Carson Rojas, freshman Tyson Price and others to have a shot at a second win.
(Note: Tioga’s workhorse,
Johnny Dorpinghaus was injured in the previous game against S&S with a broker
collar bone and will be out for 4 weeks expected. So he would not play in this
game against the Valley View Eagles.) NLN
