Alrighty then....things don't get any easier this week...although we have only eight games to select from...I was thinking that we could add the TAPPS games also...to gives us 10 picks...We also need to pick a tie breaker....
UIL D1
Aquilla v Abbott: Rematch of District rivals...both teams won convincingly last week...The Cougars won the Distirct spate but who goes on to state?..The Toy has Aquilla a 7 point underdog?...I got Aquilla in this one ...
Happy v Valley: Valley handled the Cowboys in an early season matchup....The Cowboys have run off 8 straight wins...should be a much better contest this go around...Patriots prevail....
Ira v Crowell: The Bulldogs have had two tough brawls in the playoffs and are #1....Crowell came back in second half to get by Water Valley....Another Game of the Week/year for Region 2...calling the upset here...Wildcats...
May v Savoy: Tigers have been the Beast from the East and are undefeated...Savoy is the most underrated team to advance this deep in the playoffs, many expected then to get 45'd last week but they found a way to win....Cinderella's slipper comes off....Tiger win!
UIL D2
Calvert v Mildred: Big rematch of District foes..last meeting in final game of regular season was decided by one point....The Trojans have knocked off two challenging adversaries in the playoffs, #2 Jonesboro and Richland Springs..Can Calvert convert the extra points...Will the Bulldogs sic'em again...Game of the Week in D2...Calvert keeps moving on...
Follett v Motley County: Follett has been more than formidable and are deserving of #1 rating...Matadors are a heavy underdog...I look for them to play 4 quarters...Panthers prevail
Lorraine v Grand Falls Royalty: The Bulldogs have breezed through the playoffs thus far...The #2 Cowboys have breezed through their entire schedule, except for first game vs Water Valley...This will be a battle.. GFR
Newcastle v Strawn: A rematch from mid-season..The Bobcats beat a tough Guthrie bunch...The Greyhounds have ran away from the competition since mid-season...another quality match...Look for a closer game... Greyhounds still running...
TAPPS
Abilene Christian v Dallas The Covenant: The Panthers only two loses were to UIL D1 powerhouses..they have had no real test since week 7...The knights are always tough and have knocked off some quality UIL D1 schools...Promises to be a good game...I got the Knights...
Boerne Geneva v Sugar Land Logos Prep: Boerne is undefeated and playing great SixManFootball...Sugar Land has atoned for their early season loss to Bulverde Bracken Christian by beating them in the playoffs...surprises do happen...but I got Boerne here...
Tie breaker: Crowell 56 Ira 54
