Who wins and why

WHHS loses big, Central has too much speed.

Speed vs Sizes. Which one wins?

WH needs to use their size and play ball-control offense. On defense, discipline, discipline, discipline!

 

Beating a Ty Scroggins-coached team is tough...beating one with the speed of Central makes it tougher...and beating one that has been tested in the fire against top 6A teams makes it even tougher.

 

I think WH is better than last year...I think Central maybe is a notch below last year's squad...but WH will have to play their best game of the season to win this one.

 

On the other hand, Central will be challenged this week. Not sure they've been challenged seriously in the past few games, and they really haven't turned in the dominating performances we've come to expect from the Yellowjackets. Can they "turn it on" now?

 

I think WH can pull this upset...but I also think Central is the definite favorite. Central, 28-21.

I think WHHS has a complete team. They have to eliminate the big play of Central. WHHS knows how to win tough games and have been few tight ones this season. They have the mental part down. Central losing their QB hurts.

I like W-hills- Lb's, I believe they can contain some of that speed and the front line will beat Central's. Some people may think I am crazy but I say Hills in a shocker.

I think the coaching will favor- Hills.

Not sure how much it hurts. The backup rushed for 150 yards on 15 carries vs. Spencer... Of course, Hills is a lot better than Spencer!

Seriously? Scroggins has had a pretty good run in coaching in big games

The "backup" has played a lot in the past two seasons, both at QB and RB. He's certainly not a greenie that's been watching all season.

 

The only team that's going to keep Central out of the 3-A title game IS Central.

Western Hills 13

Western Hills has the type of team that COULD beat Central. They have the discipline and size on defense to limit Central's big plays. Hills LBs are all very sound and do not miss many tackles, while Curry at safety is a bonus to limit the big plays. Central will have big plays, Hills just has to keep them to a minimum. On offense Hills can run inside with Wright, as well as outside with the Jet and Curry; while also able to pass the ball well downfield. This will limit Central's ability to just stop one aspect of the offense with their great athletes. If Western Hills plays well and limits turnovers, they could beat Central - even more so if Central takes them lightly!

Is this the same Bolden kid that has played some QB in both State Championship Games? If so, he should be ready.

 

Central will not take WH lightly.

Also, it is a testament to the job Coach Miller has done at Western Hills for anyone to even CONSIDER Western Hills beating Central. Two years ago while Central was on its way to a state title, Western Hills was 1-10. A great coaching job by the entire Hills' staff, as well as a the hard work and toughness of this year's senior class.

I believe it is.

 

What some forget is that Central is big and strong enough to just line up and run over people. A lot think they are just a big-play team, but they can grind it out with the best.

 

Keeping focus and not taking opponents lightly are two parts of the discipline Coach Scroggins brought to Central. And two big reasons Central is 10-0 in it's last 10 playoff games.

I hate to go against either one of these teams. Hills has the ability to when this game but how do you go against Central with a playoff record like they have at home? This should be a very hard fought game if Hills can keep it close throughout. Still can't make up my mind on the winner.
