Should be an easy win for the Hornets

No such thing as easy wins in this district.

True. Smithville has some good athlete's particularly rbs #24 and #20. Both are short stocky guys with a lot of upper body strength and are hard to bring down unless you hit them low. They will drag you for 5+ yards after contact if you try to tackle them around the shoulder pads or break away for a big gainer. They are surprisingly fast too. The Tigers' defense is the problem. Their D line is big but not quick and appear to tire early as not well conditioned. If their coach utilizes the bench to rest some of those big fellas a little more that might keep them in the game. The Tigers have good speed in the secondary if not height. I would not be surprised if they pull off the win Friday. Much is on the line for the playoffs in this game for both teams IMO. :)
