Rick’s Pick: George Washington over Frankford

Posted: September 09, 2010

George Washington (0-1) vs. Frankford (0-1), 6 p.m. Saturday at Northeast

The key in the renewal of this heated series is how the Pioneers' defense fares against quarterback Tony Smith and the newly pass-happy Eagles.

Smith threw 30 passes, completing 13, in a 36-25 loss to St. Joseph's Prep. Tackle/linebacker Brandon Russell and ends Troy Clark and Anthony Graham need to keep steady pressure on the strong-armed senior.

Frankford's wing-T offense is ignited by tailback Jeffione Thomas, quarterback Mike McGroarty, fullbacks Kelly Johnson and Keone Berry, and tight end Aaron Allison.

Pick: Washington, 28-12.
