FOOTBALL GAMEDAY: St. Michael-Albertville Hosts Princeton in Opener

Princeton (0-0, 0-0 Mississippi 8 Conference) @ St. Michael-Albertville (0-0, 0-0 Mississippi 8 Conference)

PLAYMAKERS

With this being the first game of the season, anyone of these players can step up. It’s a whole new year and a whole new ball game.

Tigers WIN IF...

Shut down the Knights quickly. The Tigers were 0-5 on the road last year. Getting not only their first win of the season, but having it come on the road, could be huge for them. Or, if the Knights are looking ahead to Becker.

Knights WIN IF...

They continue the success from last year at home. They were above 4-1 at home and look to match or exceed that record this year. The running game will be the key.
