No way the Mangum/Mooreland game is that close or that low of scoring. Mooreland won't be able to keep up with Mangum's offense, IMO. I would closely agree with everything else. Think the Gore game could be a little more in Gore's Favor, and Wewoka will blow out Central due to Central Missing starting QB.

I’ve been watching film on Barnsdall. That whole district was tough, and they could have just as easily beat Pawnee when they played. They move the ball well, and are athletic on defense. I expect a closer game than 40-6. I’ll give the nod to the home town Tigers, but only by 2. I’m thinking 30-28.
Gore’s starting running back was injured, had a touchdown called back, and played the worst possible game with 5 turnovers and still should have won. Watched Gore last Friday and they have improved a lot since that game. They have a lot of youth on the field who have 7 games under their belt between then and now. Also are playing much better defense. Don’t judge them off of week 3, judge them on their dominant district performances. I’m not talking scores, but you watch the games and know they are improved from last season. They play pretty physical/old school football.
I’m picking Gore also. I realize Mounds beat them this year, but like youngbuck said, I am sure they have gotten better as that game was played 2 months ago. I also realize that it is not always wise to compare scores, but that is all that some of us have to go off of. I know that Konawa beat Mounds by 26 as dtrain said, and normally I would agree that Konawa would have the edge because of that. But after seeing both Konawa and Mounds play, late in the season too I might add (week 8 and 10), I don’t believe Konawa will win. Them and Mounds are both not very good football teams at all. I don’t think Gore will make any real noise this year, but I do believe they get the win Friday night.

And going by scores, they did beat Mounds. Mounds goes on to score 40 on Wewoka and make it a ball game, while Konawa only scored 6. Scores are tricky to look at most of the time. Matchups and style of play can dictate completely different outcomes. Different opponents may play better or worse against a team solely passed on matchups. Plus, we are talking about 14-18 year old kids, they are always hard to predict. An off night for one or two can truly be the difference in a game. Plus injuries, eligibility, etc. may leave a key player sidelined. These are all factors, especially at this level. 1 or 2 players can really make a different ball club.
Yeah, I agree with the consensus on the Gore-Konawa game - Gore by two TDs, not just one.
Switching gears, I don't think Crossings can score 46 on Dibble; Dibble is good defensively, only allowing an average of 14-15 points against this season.
I'll take Texhoma over Hobart; I think these two are pretty evenly matched.

I’ll take the other side of the Crossings/Dibble game. I don’t think either team will score in the forties. I think it’s going to be closer to 31-28 Crossings.

Question is can Crossings stop Dibble's big RB? From what I have seen Crossings has struggled with stopping the run. Dibble's RB, I think is averaging close to 200 yds per game if not more. I'm not sure how well Dibble is against the pass. So I'm thinking if Crossings can't stop the run and Dibble struggles against the pass, then this could be a high scoring game with it coming down to whomever has the ball last.

Dibble was horrible against the pass last year; they're much improved in that aspect this year. I doubt it will be a high scoring affair, but I could certainly be wrong.
Despite the norm, Cashion has actually been a run heavy team this year. I think every game except the Elmore City game they have ran for more yards than they passed for. They put up 343 yards on 42 carries against Minco last week with only 79 pass yards. They have a couple of solid RBs, an experienced offensive line, and a QB with some good legs.
Just to compare, Dibble put up 192 yards on 39 carries against Minco when they played early in the season.
I'll be interested to see how Crossings does against Dibble's rush attack.
