This game should be the best game to watch in 3A. Thoughts/Predictions.

I've gotta go with Russell in this one. I expect it to be an offensive showdown, but the homefield advantage factor will prevail. Russell 35, Mason 32.

Devils dominate lines of scrimmage again and this one isn't close ....

Here are links to both teams regular season stats (Reported as of 10-31-07):

I think Russell wins in a tight one 38-35. Home field advantage does mean something, & Russell will not beat theirselves with mistakes.

Well everyone has picked Russell so far..but I wont! The Royals win this game and move on! :ylsuper:

Wow. What a match up. Russel wins. Russel 28 - Mason County 27.

This game is do or die for both teams, I look for every player to not give up and with the weapons on both sides of the ball for both of the teams it should be a great game. Mason 35 Russel 28

Playoffs are won at the lines of scrimmage and execution - Ivan and coaches have done well with this group .... Really like where Devils are right now ....

 

Mason has talent but do they have push enough. At home they didn't think so , that's why they went for two when it was a dead even 10 yard game ....

Devils grind this one out ....

Yes, Mason does have enough 'push'. Going for the 2 was a gutsy call and one I'm sure Coach B doesn't regret. IMO, going for 2 shows he believes they had the 'push' they needed to win. Yep, they came up short... then, but don't count the Royals out just yet! This rematch should prove to go down to the wire again, and I like the Royals in this one!!:thumb:

 

GO RAGIN' ROYALS!!:fight:
