Both excellent teams! If Crowell can get past WV then no team will stop them? I've watched both teams.. WV is tough as hell, but Crowell loves to hit and punish their opponents. Which I like to see. Goodluck to both teams.

Ira and Gc aren't pushovers, so I would have to say yes, they can be stopped.

Didn't say they weren't. If Crowell don't smash them Water Valley will..

I highly doubt Ira or GC will get "smashed" by anyone

After watching Ira last night, I have one old saying that comes to mind; Speed Kills. You can want to hit hard and crush people but you gotta catch em first. # 8 is hard to catch if he gets outside and can bust you inside as well. Slippery and fast.
Ira may not make the finals but whoever beats them will be a really good all around team.

From my experiences watching Ira in the playoffs the past few years, I have noticed that they always have great speed and always compete no matter who they're playing. They are a team that competes with the best every year.

Crowell and WV got more than one fast player.. They don't depend on any single number like they or yall are saying. WV or Crowell .. They will eat'em up like they've done all their opponents this season.

I have Crowell beating WV by 25. Yes Ira is a good playoff team but not a good finisher and I have a feeling this year will be like last year.

Rampage your confidence is admirable. Are you guaranteeing a win?

It's just what I think guys. WV or Crowell is judgment day on the state championship!

I believe Ira will finish strong this year.
I agree with coyote_king. I think if they don't make it out of the region it'll be because they'll have played the toughest playoff schedule in the state. They just played the #4 team, and now face #3 in Garden City. If they win that game, they'll run into either #2 or #5 (Div 1 only rankings). Not making excuses, but it's tough to keep enough gas in the tank when you have a schedule like that.
For those of you who havn't seen Ira in person, it is hard to imagine the combination quickness and speed that they can put on the field. Nobody in the state can simulate that combination in practice. Makes it hard to adjust to it at game time. Having said that, I'm not real sure they can handle the pounding that they will have to absorb week in and week out in these playoffs. They are not blessed with a lot of size.

Its a shame that 4 of these top 5 teams wont make it to the big game !!! They are all worthy of being there. I think if each team played each team 10 times they would all end up winning half of them. They are all to close in talent to win every one. That being said, wish we could have a consellation bracket on this side of the state. That would be interesting!!!
