Game preview: Southeast at Capitol Hill
Southeast (2-0) at Capitol Hill (1-1)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: CB Speegle Stadium
Last week: Southeast knocked off Star Spencer 27-14. Capitol Hill edged rival US Grant 13-12.
Why Southeast could win: The Spartans are riding a wave of motivation after the 2-0 start, and Jay Gogue is a big reason why. The QB/RB/DB has been making plays all over the field, no matter what position he plays. He had a 59-yard TD run that sparked last week’s victory, and the defense was even better, allowing only 48 total yards.
Why Capitol Hill could win: QB Derrick Jefferson is the key to a solid backfield with pass-run capabilities. He has some weapons at receiver as well. The Southeast offense seems to be in a good flow, so it will probably take more than 13 points to win this week. Still, the Redskins have the talent to move the ball and score some points.
Quote: “Our defensive line played well last week and that gave our linebackers opportunities to make plays. We’ll need to do that again this week, because Capitol Hill has some good athletes and the quarterback throws the ball well.” – Southeast coach Michael Branch
