George Muha’s Take

I say this every year but it’s true so I’ll say it again, if you want to watch a well-coached football team look no further than the High Point Wildcats.  Specifically, pay attention to the lineman up front.  Coach Jim Delaney spends the most time making sure his offensive line is stronger and executes better than anyone on their schedule and they always are.  The Wildcats are very physical and opponents know they are in for a dog fight when it’s High Point week.  Prediction:  This could be a fun ride for the ‘Cats with some really formidable opponents on their schedule.  This team has the ability to beat every opponent they face.  Personally I look forward to the Par Hills game because if anyone can slow down the Vikings run and gun, it’s a Jim Delaney coached team.  I definitely expect High Point to be in the running for the division title this year!
