Ithaca only has five seniors. But the Yellowjackets have a strong junior class and the seniors they do have will make solid contributions. Travis Smith is gone as quarterback, but his brother Jacob will do just fine. The Yellowjackets aren’t a cinch to go 9-0 but with a few breaks here and there, it could happen. Clare has had a solid program, but won’t have enough to pull off an upset Friday night.
Prediction: Ithaca 28, Clare 14
