TheImpaler’s District previews:
TheImp was only 4-2 last week as SMS made a monkey out of me in overtime and Free State let me down but I’m still 16-2 for the season.
District 1: SMW and SMNW are heavy favorites in this district in that order, West looking for the 2 seed. As with a lot of these districts the most interesting game is in the first week:
SMNW-SMW This game was close last year ONLY because of a series of Viking miscues beginning with a KO return for a touchdown on the opening kick for 7 of the Cougar’s 10 points. This year’s Atagi-less installment of the Cougar team has been blown out by the league’s top teams and although the Vikes continue to struggle on offense in the first half, their smash mouth defense will be enough to win this game….SMW 28 SMNW 7
SME-SMN The Lancers have improved over the course of the season and the Indians have been unable to finish games. I like East in this one… SME 19 SMN 14
District 2: Probably the most interesting district. BVNW comes in with the best record but OE is on a roll…can SMS be a factor?
BVNW-OE Are the Huskies for real? We know the Hawks are. The winner of this one should be district champ. If it’s OE they will probably be the 4 seed. BVNW could be 2 or 3 if they can sweep districts…OE 31 BVNW 21
SMS-BVN SMS must win this game to have any chance of making the playoffs. Against BVN, they should roll…SMS 27 BVN 10
District 3: Last year’s most brutal district is very average this year. Clearly ON is the favorite to be district champ and #1 seed. Literally anyone could step up and claim the other playoff spot.
ON-BV Iin spite of being 1-5 the Tigers have been in every game they’ve played this year (except BVNW) and it’s been a VERY tough schedule. I like BV to claim the second playoff spot in this district but they’ll have to get it done in the last two games…ON 44 BV 21
OS-BVW The Jaguars have faded as the season has gone on but so have the Falcons. OS defense is VERY suspect but they should get the job done against BVW…OS 30 BVW 24
District 4: By far the weakest district in 6A with only 6 wins between the four teams. Free State should not be challenged in this one. ONW should be the favorite to get the other playoff spot.
LFS-LV Cheer up pioneers…this should be the last total blow out of the season…LFS 56 LV 0
ONW-LHS The hapless Lions played perhaps the most uninspired game in their history last week as they laid down against SMW. ONW has something to prove here in what is basically an elimination game…ONW 23 LHS 6
