Sesser-Valier-Waltonville-Woodlawn 1-0 at Edwards County 1-0

by Steve Dunford

The Red Devils in Week one pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the night, by defeating Carmi-White County 27-12 on the road.

With this win, this establishes them as one of the potential  upper division teams in the Black Diamond.  In conversations that I have had with coach John Shadowens, one of the goals of the team is to improve on the 5-5 record of last year.

They make the long trip to Albion tonight to take on the Edwards County Lions, who defeated the Hamilton County Foxes, 21-6 last Friday night.

I am curios how this game will go.  The Lions improved on their record, going 3-6.  When they were in the Little Illini, they were a 1A school playing in a 3A-4A conference.

If the Lions could have at least a 5-4 season, they could be a force one day in the 1A playoffs.

I am going with the Red Devils by 10 in this one tonight.
