The Sesser-Valier-Waltonville-Woodlawn Red Devils will be going on the road this evening to face the Johnston City Indians.
The Devils made themselves one of the favorites to win the Black Diamond after defeating the Eldorado Eagles. Johnston City lost a heartbreaker down at Vienna last Saturday afternoon 20-14 in double overtime.
Devils Coach John Shadowens had this to say about the Indians. Johnston City is a team and program that we greatly respect, and they’ve had their way with us for the better part of 15 years. Luca Gualdoni is a D1 prospect and maybe the best athlete in the conference, so they’re quite dangerous.”
I asked Coach Shadowens after pulling off such a win if there was fear of a letdown, and he said in practice the kids are taking them serious, and there will not be one.
I watched Gauldoni play as a sophomore, and he did a little bit of everything for the Indians.
I have only been to Ralph Davidson II once. I have been to the old field a few times. I don’t know if the Indian runs out on a horse with a flaming torch since they have turf in the new field.
Even going to a hostile environment, I can see the Devils running the table in the conference until week 9. I know I will be covering them playing Fairfield in Week 9 from the NewsChannel 15 out of Mt. Carmel feed.
I am going with the Red Devils by 14 tonight.
