We're coming up on Week 6 of the high school football season and there's only a couple of chances left for teams to make their claim for a playoff spot. Every win counts and you can bet teams will be scratching and clawing for every point. This Friday on the Fox 40 Sports Report, we've got a trio of great match ups on the docket.

Ithaca vs Binghamton- After going winless in 2008, the Little Red have shocked the section by going undefeated to open up 2009. They'll need to bring their A+++ game and get a little bit of luck if they want to remain amongst the unbeatens after this week. That's because a red-hot Binghamton team invades their stadium on Friday. The Patriots have reeled off 3 straight wins against top shelf opponents including a take down of previously perfect M-E last week. BHS is known for their high scoring offense, but lately the D has been dynamic as well (24 points allowed combined vs. M-E & U-E). It's hard to see the Pats taking an L in this one.

Greene vs Sidney- The Greene Trojans suffered their first set back of the year last weekend against the always dangerous Walton Warriors. This time, they get a crack at another Warriors club as Sidney pays a visit. Sidney has also lost to Walton this year, but they're currently coming off back to back wins to put their tough opening schedule behind them. A pair of talented QB's square off on Friday as Greene's Scott Gorton aims to out gun Sidney's Dylan Umbra. Expect a shootout going down at Greene with the better QB play dictating the winner of this battle.

Bainbridge-Guilford vs Seton Catholic- Seton hits the road after 3 straight home games. The Saints have fared very well considering they lost their leader and QB James Hranek a couple weeks ago. They face arguably their toughest test to date though as the Bobcats of B-G won't hold back. B-G is perfect in Division 7 play tied for 1st with Delhi. SCC lies just one game back, so this contest has some serious playoff implications on the line. With 2 of the best offenses in Class D going toe to toe, an exciting game should be in the cards.
