DII East Area Round

[51eleven]

I still see a logjam here. Maybe the best three playoff games this week?

Undefeated, untested RS vs a scrappy Zephyr district champ. # 5 vs # 14.

Then Cherokee vs Oglesby. # 7 vs #6 in DII.

Lastly, Strawn dropping a spot from 7 to 8 after defeating Fannindel 76-6 vs Iredell dropping from 11 to 12 in DII after beating Bynum 59 - 14.

Yes, this little bit of rain we have been getting has caused Strawn and Iredell to slide down the rankings.

Can someone tell me about the players Cherokee has vs Oglesby? Curious about this matchup.

The spread says,

Oakwood by 20 over Goldburg.

Richland Springs by 20 over Zephyr.

Oglesby by 5 over Cherokee.

Strawn by 5 over Iredell.

Maybe a good game in there somewhere or two?

Iredell is overrated and Strawn is underrated. Strawn by 40

Oglesby has played and lost to two very good teams, Abbott and May, and was very competitive in both games. Their defense will be better than Cherokee's.

If you think that Iredell will hang with Strawn you probably voted blue in the past election. It is all about that name that is across the front of the jersey in this game, big intimidation factor. Iredell will get off the bus, hang out for a half, then head back to dragon country with a L. Hounds by 50.

Agree Tigers have too much team speed.

I tend to be conservative in my guestimations. Seeing #8 vs # 12 I went looking before I looked at the matchups feature. The similarities had caught my eye. Identical records except Strawn had two byes the week before district started, one less game than Iredell.
Both were 45'd once by top 5 D1 teams, lost to another.
Iredell averaging 53 points per game, giving up 22. Strawn 62/25.
Strawn does have 3 shutouts to 1 for Iredell and scores more. And they are the only team this year to score more than once on Gordon.
