Klondike might very well be the 2nd best team in the Division. I do have Jayton winning but it might be a closer game this time around. They seem to be healthy and playing very good football.

Not only are they 3-0 but they haven't allowed a single point to be scored against them so far. That's more impressive imo than just simply winning these 3 games.

Iredell is #6 on DCTF Rankings. They sit at #11 here on this site. Which is the only reason I'm giving them the "sleeper" status. Their starting outside the Top10. I fully expect them to do good and make another playoff run.

Sleepers = May, Water Valley, Newcastle Team of Interest = Rankin Rankin has 1 hell of a non District schedule to go through. I have no knowledge on them at all this year. So I'm curious to see how they do.

Sleepers = Iredell, Sidney, Rochelle Teams of Interest = Miami, McLean, Balmorhea

I'll just say, he attempted retirement back in 2011. I dont believe it was official & it only lasted a few months before Balmorhea came calling. This was 12+ years ago now. So maybe this time around, he is ready to hang it up.

I think it's a combination of, Balmorhea not actively searching right now & people not knowing. I mean Jones retiring was kept pretty quiet & I dont believe the school has publicly announced his retirement either.

That's a team full of confidence and momentum, with no signs of letting off the gas. Their speed is a problem for Westbrook right now.

I'm sure there was some nerves to start but they are a well coached team.

This is my take on Benjamin vs. Oglesby... Oglesby has to keep up with scoring and hit every extra point attempt to stay in this game. Benjamin is very good at making all their extra points. You miss a few and those can quickly add up. They also have to be able to contain both Rigdon & Hayes...

As much as I want it to be a close game. I don't believe it will be. My picks Benjamin by 45.

I think the only possible upset is, Richland Springs beating Oglesby but I don't think it happens. And I just can't see Klondike beating Benjamin. But that is the beauty of football. Anything can happen.

I did not realize that some games were gonna be played on Saturday. So, now I have to change my original opinion and agree that Chester winning is the biggest surprise followed by Bronte.

I agree, Bronte defeating Rising Star was something I didn't expect. I also thought Amherst would bounce back after their loss to Whitharral last week but Silverton took care of business.

Both teams are riding on a wave of momentum and confidence. Their playing solid football right now. Now, do I think they're State contenders? No not really but I do think both are more than capable of pulling off an upset if overlooked.
