Danville and NCC in the East.

 

DeSales will not have 4 turnovers again. They will get more pressure on the QB.

I like DeSales by 7.

 

Too many weapons for Mayfield, OC can't control all of them. Mayfield by 2-3 TD's.

Those West games are great matchups. I expect NCC to win over Lloyd, but there is potential for an upset. I don't think LCA has much of a chance versus Danville.

I knew Danville played a weak Schedule this year.

You better buckle that chin strap tight if you play Danville.

I knew Danville played a weak Schedule this year.

 

And LCA has 4 of the five worst losses!

You better buckle that chin strap tight if you play Danville.

 

Why? They played the weakest schedule. How do we know they're that good. Any team can look good playing a cup cake schedule!

Are you thinking LCA over Danville in region finals?

Why? They played the weakest schedule. How do we know they're that good. Any team can look good playing a cup cake schedule!

Why because the logic says when they man handled you the first time it will probably happen again.
