STRENGTHS
The Eagles hard running style and quick ball movement have been their strength this season. They will be hard to stop if it is sustained for four quarters.
POTENTIAL WEAKNESSES
The Eagles will have to make sure they come out prepared and ready for four quarters of hard football. The Wildcats should not be taken lightly.
AT THE SELECTION TABLE
Once again, coach Aaron Falcioni will have a large number of players to select from for this game.
DANGERMAN
Troy Marsh: With his fantastic form this year, Marsh is expected to finish the regular season just as he started it. The opposition will have their hands full trying to stop him.
IT'S NOT GENERALLY KNOWN...
