It should be another good matchup for Batavia before Dukane conference play starts. The Rockets punch above their weight class but I’m not overly impressed by the close win against Moline. I don’t anticipate a blowout but I do expect Batavia to win this one.

Interesting matchup. Any thoughts on this game?

If Rochester doesn't get some things ironed out, it will be a blowout. Too many mental errors by the Rocket's on the offensive side of the ball in Moline. Two fumbles and two dropped passes (3 out of the 4 errors would have resulted in TDs) can't happen if they expect to be successful this year.

Batavia has a stellar spread offense that will give the Rochester secondary (which is undersized) fits. I'm afraid the only hope for the Rockets against Batavia is a shootout.

The bright spots for the Rockets in Moline: stellar OL/DL play...which may be the best I've seen at Rochester and Jr. wide-out Reece Gade.
