  I'll say this. Dover will show up, they may commit many penalties, they may drop many passes, they may throw many interception, they may fumble many times. But they may win.

  Dover knows this as well, they've got a little bit of history with each other in the playoffs.

  Sheridan has defeated Dover at Crater Stadium in the 1st round of the playoffs before. Not positive on the year, but guessing 1999.

  Pretty sure you are thinking about 2003...Dover was number 1 in the region & Sheridan came up to Dover and just dominated. Hopefully Dover takes care of business this go around.

  You are correct, it was 2003. Dover was #1 and Sheridan was #8. No way to sugar coat it, Sheridan crushed Dover.

  Luckily you also said NP by 7. How did that work?

  If Dover scores more points then Sheridan. I think they may win?

  Tough matchup up for Sheridan. I think SHS had the better team last year, but Dover still came out on top in OT. SHS only returns 3-4 starters from that team, and maybe 7 or so that got any signficant time from last year. Dover should be feeling pretty confident at home and Sheridan will have to play their best game of the year.

  Maybe...but we will have to hold their defensive linemen on every play and intimidate the officials we aren't able to bribe!

  This seems like the game in the region that screams "upset" more than the others. Time will tell.

  This year in R11 no one is a patsy! If you're not ready when you show up you are at risk.
  
  I don't know if you heard, but Sheridan fans were not happy to lose to Dover last year. So, I expect they would like to win this year.
  
  Last year's match at Zanesville was in the General's back yard and Dover fans showed up in droves!
  It will be interesting to see what their fan support is like in Crater Stadium.
  It never fails to amaze me the fan support some very good teams don't get - even in playoff games!

  This is prolly the best game in this region this week .. toss up ..
• ddog72

  i played in this game last season and ya Sheridan brings it.Bruno: I don't know if i'd say they were the better team. but It should be another good game this year but idk if Dover has what it takes to pull it off in the end. and you can't compare scores against like opponents. look at last year sheridan blew out Tri-Valley late in the season where we barely lost to them in week 4 so you can't go by that.

  Yep and maybe Dover might win? You know if Dover doesn't pass we can avoid all those picks.:rolleyes:
