The Deshler Tigers are a stronge team. Offense is heavy on the ground game. Defense is best at stopping the run. However, they have a tendency to be up and down. If Elkmont can stop the run and keep their turnovers down, they may be able to keep the game close enough to give the Red Devils a chance at an upset. The weather is going to be beautiful with temps in the upper 50s for a 7 pm kickoff. It will be clouding up during the game. Best of luck to our Red Devils. Go Big Red!!!
