Outlook: There's no way around it: Oscar Smith's loss to Centreville was shocking. Entering that game, Smith had given up 68 points in 14 games. Against Centreville, it allowed 35. This season, a challenging early-season showdown with Booker T. Washington should help prepare it for another long playoff run.
