With the halfway point of the 2009 regular high school football season approaching, this should be a good week to start seeing just how good some heartland teams are.
Maybe the best example is at Sikeston, the host Bulldogs are 3-0 while visiting Jackson is 0-3.
In recent years Jackson has dominated this match up, come Friday night we'll find out just how good Sikeston is?
Plenty more solid tests like Hayti at Caruthersville, Dexter at Poplar Bluff and West Frankfort visiting Herrin.
Speaking of a test, the Ohio Valley Conference season opens Saturday at 6:00 p.m. with Southeast Missouri State hosting Eastern Illinois. The Redhawks are coming off a big loss at Cincinnati after winning big in the opener at Quincy. This game should offer a very good indication of what fans can expect out of the Redhawks in 2009.
SEMO appears to be improved over last season but it will be no easy task Saturday against a talented EIU ball club.
See you Friday night on Heartland Football Friday and again Saturday night from Houck Stadium with the live web Cast of Eastern Illinois at Southeast.
