Friday's Football Forecast-Week 1
By Andrew Ferrell
Year 2 for the Wizard begins tonight; the time where he takes a look into the crystal ball and predicts each Whitley County game. The first week is always rough for the Wizard as he doesn't have a true scouting report. Bare with him for the first week...
Columbia City vs. Warsaw at 7pm
From the head coach of the Eagles, Warsaw is the game they want because it will set the tone for the rest of the season. And the Wizard heard that Warsaw doesn't have a very good quarterback... but don't get too excited, history suggests Warsaw. The Tigers have won every game but the first one since 1997. Sorry CC.

Churubusco vs. Fremont at 7:30 pm
Churubusco was hyped last year with a 14-0 victory in their season opener against Fremont. The Wizard looks for that to happen again, as 'Busco returns the majority of their power offense. A small bit of the Wizard says Fremont might be more than the Eagles can handle, but then again...'Busco all the way.
'Busco 17 Fremont 10
Whitko vs. Wawasee at 7pm
The Wildcats follow a similar path with Wawasee as Columbia City does with Warsaw. This game is the hardest to read; yet, probably the most deciding victory, especially with a new Wildcat taking the snaps.
