Harold Green carried much of the load rushing 30 times for 125 yards. Sterling will have to improve its defense against the run but the Lions have been hurting on defense for the entire season. Cornerbacks Anthony Blaylock and Dave Givins are both out for three more games with serious injuries and defensive end Omar Vanorder is capable of playing after sustaining a fractured femer in week four but is still ailing. Yorktown has no health problems. The problem is Key Largo is tied with Cherating for second and both have only two wins.
Sterling is one game back.
The two teams are pretty much trying to do the same thing to win. Birmingham tries to run the ball and play good defense. Key Largo is running the ball more often than not and playing decent defense. The difference is the defense doesn't have to honor the pass against Bobby Hebert and Scott Mitchell. They have guided the Iguanas to the lowest passing total in the league.
