Matchup of the Week: Del City offense vs. Midwest City defense...

Maybe I’m getting too brainwashed being around all the boys in the Mid-Del Schools because I’m a lot more pumped up for Midwest City and Del City than what I’ve ever been before.
Started to hit me a little bit less than two weeks ago at a photo shoot of all things. I arranged to get Carl Albert’s Dwight Dobbins, Midwest City’s Trevon Lewis and Del City’s Chazten Gonzales together for the cover of the Mid-Del preview that came out last Friday.
Can’t really find a neutral spot, but I picked Rose Field as like a middle ground. How wrong I was. While Lewis was at home in Bomber country, Gonzales and Dobbins, and especially Gonzales, were getting weird looks from passersby.
Del City Red is not welcome in MWC black and gold territory.
When the teams meet up Friday night at, ironically enough, Rose Field, Gonzales won’t be shy. He won’t be gun shy, either, bringing with him an incredibly potent, fun offense to watch.
That works out great as the strength of the Bombers has got to be that speed and power of the defense.
So…who wins?
Del City offense: Gonzales has emerged as one heckuva leader since last year, and he wasn’t even lacking in that department too much last year.
