PREVIEW BOMBERS vs RAMBLERS

       The Bombers open up the season at home hosting the Winona Cotter Ramblers.  The game against Cotter last year was a tale of two halves. The Ramblers John Marais threw for 170 yards and the Ramblers had 10 first downs in the first half, but the Bombers defense muscled up and the offense prevailed in the second half, by a run it down your throat mentality. The  Ramblers return 15 seniors to their squad.  New this year the Cotter Ramblers co-op with Hope Lutheran School, it pushes them into class 3AAA. The Bombers will have to stop Marais and his talented receivers again this year.  The addition of Hope Lutheran players will add to the all ready talented Rambler squad. The Bombers will have to move the ball on the ground, winning the time of possession. If they can do that and the defense can run with  the fleet footed Ramblers receivers, and put pressure on Marais,  I think the Bombers will win. My prediction:  Bombers 28   Ramblers 17
