Tomorrow evening I will be at Tiger Stadium in Sharon as the homestanding Sharon Tigers play host to the visiting Slippery Rock Rockets.
Sharon is coming off of its first win of the Jason McElhenny era after they shut out Fairview 42-0. They will look to get to the .500 mark tomorrow night, however, the Rockets, coming off of a 35-6 victory over Franklin, might have something to say about that.
Two weeks ago at Hickory, I was worried about the ankle injury that Lane Voytik sustained in an opening week loss at Wilmington. He played, bad ankle and all, and nearly got the Tigers into the end zone to potentially force overtime, but Hickory's defense swatted the pass down to the turf and held on to win. I am still worried about Voytik's ankle, even though he still needs 109 yards to become Mercer County's all-time career passing leader.
Vito Pilosi of the Rockets, one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in District X, has one of the top passer ratings in the District when you use the NCAA model (164.8). He can also run the ball as well, as his style of play mirrors that of current Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Trace McSorley.
One of the key matchups in this game will be the Sharon Tigers' passing attack against the Rockets' secondary. Sharon leads the area in passing yardage with an average of 173.8 yards per game, while the Rockets have allowed 195.3 yards on average per game.
SportsRadio 96.7 will have radio coverage of this matchup, with Mark Slezak and Bob Greenburg calling the action from Tiger Stadium.
