The Rivalry- Deer Park vs La Porte predictions

[LP0175]

Game week of the annual Deer Park vs. La Porte game. Currently the Deer record is 4-0 and La Porte record stands at 3-1.
I'm calling a low scoring defensive battle victory for LP: 13-7 which will even the series back up at 26 with 7 ties shared between the two.

This one has been around for a while. I played in 3 DP wins and graduated from DP 51 years ago. We were in 2A then. ::)

I have one varsity victory over DP. We only played 2 out of the 3 yrs I was on varsity. My senior year we were not allowed to schedule eachother, even for a scrimmage. Its a special rivalry to each community and I hope it continues to grow in fame ( a few state championships will help out in that).

D.P. is big and fast, is laporte doesnt have the speed to handle it could get ugly.. D.P. 28- LaPorte 14

LP defense is very capable of holding deer offense. The question this year is can LP offense make plays when needed. For the first time in awhile LP offense has questions. I'm confident LP will win

Although I think the Fighting Deer are going to take this one....DP is big but in NO WAY are they extremely fast.  The two RB's are really fast and that's it.  QB has a good arm and is a really good at the lost art of ball-handling on the play-action.  DP's middle linebacker is just flat out mean...they play solid defense but they are not a sideline to sideline type of defense.
