HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 2 Camden Fairview at No. 9 Watson Chapel
Camden Fairview goes for a share of its fifth straight league title. The Cardinals lost at Hope 17-12 in Week 8 (first loss since the 2011 semifinals to Greenwood) but rebounded 42-14 against Hot Springs last week. The Cardinals likely finish as the No. 2 playoff seed with a victory. Cardinal senior quarterback Matthew Ollison completes 70 percent of his passes for 2,101 yards and 21 touchdowns this fall. Senior Deion Holliman has rushed for 289 yards and six TDs, and caught 33 passes for 762 yards and 10 TDs. Sophomore Demarea Crockett paces the Cardinals with 94 carries for 604 yards and 13 scores. Senior linebacker Keion Mitchell spearheads the defense with 99 tackles, 24 tackles for loss and seven sacks.
Watson Chapel hasn't captured a league title since 2010. The Wildcats have won consecutive games since losing to rival White Hall 14-6 in Week 7, just seven days after beating Hope 19-17. The Wildcats shifted senior Devonte Battles to QB two weeks ago. Battles scored four TDs Week 8 against Magnolia and ran for more than 100 yards and two scores in last week's 47-6 win at Hot Springs Lakeside. Battles has rushed for almost 1,000 yards this fall. Senior linebacker Josh Harris paces the Wildcats in tackles, while senior Jacorbi Harris and junior Michael Barker control the ends. Watson Chapel plays six seniors on offense and four on defense. "Watson Chapel is the most athletic team I've seen all year," Camden Fairview coach Buck James says. "They have us out-manned at every position."
