I've seen both teams play this year and Rankin has a strong rushing game and Michum is an ATHLETE but the other aspects of the team are not enough to take down Throck. Farquhar or however it is spelled is gonna be tough to stop. Throck by 30.
As Bill said, T'rock will be BACK-to-BACK D1 Texas...
Who do you have winning the quarterfinal games?
My picks
Valley over Petersburg by 21
Throck over Rankin by 30
Gordon over Santa Anna by 8
Abbott over Oakwood by 15
The kicker from Rankin has made 70 extra points after 10 games. He has missed 1 against Borden County and the other 3 that weren't converted were not missed. Two have been blocked and there has been a missed snap.
I base this on the fact that ACHS has not played anyone of that magnitude. They have yet to play a strong team and Ira is one of the best, if not THE best, team in the state. If Abilene Christian steps it up, I say they still lose by at least 20 points.
