Jayton or Oakwood to win state?

[PROUDTEXAN!]

Personally I say Jayton will win but you never know

 

[undoneone]

I'm sticking with Jayton as well. I don't see them having too much trouble, but I haven't seen Oakwood, but you have to give them credit for a heck of a run. And you just never know.

From my observations, the Jaybirds' achilles heel is pass defense. If you have a good scrambler and a couple of guys who can find open space, you will put up points and perhaps extend the game well into the second half. The problem is stopping Jayton's offense. I'm not aware of any punts this year and there may not have even been any turnover on downs.
If I'm Oakwood I don't even bother punting no matter distance or field position. Your chances of converting are higher than your chances of keeping Jayton out of the endzone no matter their starting field position.
I predict the cindaerella run will end early in third quarter. No matter, who had "state finalist" on their bingo card when Oakwood opened the sesaon with a 49-pt loss? Truly a season to remember for them.

Just like in the college basketball this cindarella story won't end with a win. It was a good run but it will come to an end after 2 quarters of football next Wednesday. I think the #1 and #2 teams from both divisions played each other last week.

 

[just an ole hornet]

I’m going with Jayton in the third.

Jayton... No doubt

My money is on Jayton too as long as they prepare. OW will come in full a head of steam (Jayton) will too though.
OW is fast, but they are not going to win any track meets. Positive for OW is that they are big, and run hard. At least one of their backs is bull dozer (big legs), stout, runs low to the ground and delivers blows when tackled. Gets pretty old for smaller defensive backs. They also get into the backfield quick on defense which could work against for an offense good at those 7-10 yard psssed.

Here is Oakwood's Team information. They list their record as 9-5 but only show 13 games. Also, they show a playoff win vs Maple Three Way who played their last football game in 2001. The school consolidated with Sudan in 2002.

That’s not Maple three way. Three Way is a school close to Stephenville.

 

[PROUDTEXAN!]

Yeah it's 13 minutes away from Stephanville

 

[T Sweep]

I'll have to take Jayton. It breaks my heart to cheer them on since they don't run the T Sweep, but go birds.

The Oakwood information page has it wrong! They are also missing a game Brazos Valley Christian (BVCHEA) Mustangs.

Jayton by 45. All the kids will play too.

This is going about the way I figured it would. 38-0 4:40 left in 2nd.

How many of Jayton’s starters are returning for next season?
