Looking at Week 4

No star-studded matchups this week, but intriguing games are out there.
Cooperstown puts their unbeaten record on the line against Mt.Markham. It's technically a non-league game for both teams. Question is will the Mustangs be able to slow down the Redskins running attack.
Another interesting game has to be Frankfort at Ilion. The Bombers, without their top running back, faltered in week three. Frankfort also struggled in a loss to Herkimer. Both need to get back on the winning track if they want to make the post season. Does anyone think that a team with three losses can make the post season in the Class C East? I don't. What are your thoughts?
In Class AA, RFA hits the road for winless Auburn while winless Proctor hosts state champ West Genny.
In Class A, Whitesboro rides the wave to Binghamton in their final non-league game of the season while New Hartford tries to get back on the winning track hosting Watertown. I'm still scratching my head over the game between the Spartans and Warriors. It was New Hartford's game to lose, and they did. Question is...can they bounce back? They did it last year, do they have enough talent to do it again this season?
In Class D, Dolgeville and Waterville meet on Friday night. It's really a must win for the Indians who after a promising week one faltered the last two games including a 20 point loss to Notre Dame. Dolgeville seems to be getting stronger each week. I think Notre Dame and Oriskany could be fun to watch. I think the Redskins can bounce back after an embarassing loss to Dolgeville. However, if Notre Dame stays on track, could be a long rainy afternoon in Oriskany.
Cudos to Matt Dziekan for breaking a state record for interceptions with five in the win over West Canada. The Indians have a rare night game this week. Its home coming against Mohawk.
Class B, Oneida is the team to beat. Holland Patent was shelled last week. The Golden Knights need to regroup. This week is a non-league week for HP as they face Norwich.
What are your thoughts?
