I really have to say that I am a nervous wreck about this one and could not even finish my desert at MARBL last night! The Dixie Colonels are on a mission to ruin my beautiful Bluebird Season. It does not seem fair that we earn the 1 seed and that our reward is to face the District 6 Coach of the Year and those feisty Colonels! Our waiter was a former DC Colonel class of '96 and was boasting about the Dixie Colonel statistical dominance this season. I really had no clue how dominant Dixie has been this season and I hope that our Birds can escape Friday night with the win. I could not finish my Doppio Espresso and will be a nervous wreck all week!

Perhaps Dixie can keep it from a running clock.  That is at least my gut feeling - no running clock.

If that's your biggest concern you will have a great week lol. Highlands is very good. Dixie has a nice team....but this might be the Birds year! Finish your over priced coffee lol.

I just don't know. I have seen Dixie's stats that they post. Some of their players have more tackles than plays in a game! They are much better than their losing record suggests.

And schematically Highlands stands no chance going against the 5A District 6 coach of the year. This Dixie staff almost won 4 other games!!

I believe this will be a close game second time around. Dixie is capable of pulling the upset if they win the turnover battle. Crazier upsets have happened. Brach and Brody show will be fun to watch.

Calpreps has it Highlands by 21.

Highlands wins ,and then essentially gets a 3rd round bye playing the winner of North Laurel , Madison Southern.

This isn't how I tip a waiter, but you do you ...

That’s roughly what my guess would be.

Dixie is playing better but I look for Highlands to win. I could see a good game with Highlands pulling away later into it.

Dixie is a solid team, but don’t let last week fool you.

I know Woodford was ranked all year but every decent team the Jackets played beat them by two-or-more scores. Great teams rarely get thirty pieced 3 times in a season.

On one hand, I absolutely agree with this.

But there’s a little piece of my brain that thinks that the Jags possess the ability to play well enough defensively to make some weird stuff happen. I also have no doubt, should we see this matchup, that NL will be snapping the ball with 1 second left on the play clock every play. They will try to make it a slow, sloppy, boring, slugfest. 

All right , all right, all right!

I think we can all agree the Best Coach in the District will be in the Fort on Friday Night!
