Great all around performance by the Pendragons I thought.

Pender (2-1) takes on Bloomfield (1-2) on the road Friday night.

The Bees lost 34-16 at home to Allen last week.

I think the Pendragons have a great chance to go up there and win.

I feel like Pender will play with a chip on their shoulder knowing they have a great chance to get Bloomfield this year.

The Bees are usually a very strong team, but I think the Pendragons are the better team this year.

Pender just has to go out there and prove that on the field come Friday night.

The Pendragons have to go up there and get pumped and fired up and be ready to dominate.

Pender has to take it to Bloomfield for 4 quarters, and show no mercy.

The Pendragons have to be relentless on both sides of the ball, and have to put forth a fantastic effort.

The Bees are going to be tough, especially since they are at home, but I feel like Pender is primed and ready to go in there and pick up the win.

The Pendragons need a good week of practice and need to have everyone available if at all possible.
