The Coaches: Hanover Areaâ??s Ron Hummer (34-24, 7th year); Trailâ??s Steve Jervis (37-57, 10 year)

Last Meeting: never played

All-Time Series: never played

Quick Fact: This is the second consecutive week Trail plays a WVC team for the first time in school history.

Scouting Hanover Area: The young Hawkeyes were steamrolled in their opener 48-14 by Mid Valley. They trailed 42-0 at halftime and didnâ??t score until the fourth quarter. RB Brian Belcher managed 94 yards rushing, but Hanover Areaâ??s offense finished with just 149 yards overall.

Scouting Trail: Trail did last week what veteran teams do. The Lions made Nanticoke pay for mistakes for a 34-8 victory. The game was close until RB Jon Zeder broke off a 44-yard TD run late in the second quarter. The defense held Nanticoke to 118 yards.

What To Expect: Hanover Areaâ??s offense has the same characteristic of Nanticokeâ??s â?? a lot of new faces trying to learn on the fly. That doesnâ??t bode well for the Hawkeyes after what Trail did last week.
