Mike Says: This will be another East Texas shootout. Look for both quarterbacks Tatum's Jalen Overstreet and Gilmer's Luke Turner to have big nights. The Buckeyes want a little revenge from last years classic. Tatum is one of 2A's best and they would like nothing better than sending the Buckeyes home with another loss. Its going to be a good one.....the BUCKEYES win 41-36!!

Chris Says: East Texas is a hotbed of great rivalries and this one is no exception.  Neither team was tested too drastically in Week Zero and that ends now.  Gilmer is set on avenging last season's loss, while Tatum is ready to show the Piney Woods that it was no fluke.  Who wins?  Gilmer takes it 34-21!!
