What, do ya’ll think I am crazy or something? I used to make predictions but learned very quickly that prognostication and foretelling the future is not my forte.

What I do know is that this will be a good football game.

One of the oldest rivalries in Texas high school football will take to the field at Lions Stadium tomorrow night and either the New Boston Lions or the DeKalb Bears will go home with the Traveling Trophy.

The Bears make the trip down from DeKalb on a high, with a 30-20 win over Prairiland a week ago in their pocket.

The Lions fell last Friday 20-6 to Hooks.  Will that make them hungry for that first win? Will the emotion of the rivalry and tradition be enough to get them past the Bears?

DeKalb AD and Head Coach Eddy May said this about the game.
