5A Quarterfinals

Not sure about the bottom half but hey, anything can happen

My thoughts on last nights games..
Noble-28 Woodward-14
-Very business-like approach for the Bears last night.

Kelley-27 Collinsville-0
-Not a shocking outcome, but the margin is a little surprising. Both teams decimated by injuries this season, maybe Kelley is bouncing back at the right time with a very dominant performance. I’m going to pick them to go on the road and get another W next Friday

Edison-55 Pryor-27
-Impressive defensive performance by the Eagles, 2 of Pryors scores came late in the 4th. Will see truly how good Edison is next week when McGuinness comes to Tulsa

McGuinness-46 Ardmore-14
-Irish seemed to have bounced back nicely from last weeks CA game. Hope we get to see Richardson and Morrison both healthy for next weeks showdown

Carl Albert-48 Duncan-7
-No problem for the defending champs

McAlester-49 Claremore-28
-Buffs are the East sides hottest team and they stay hot. Happy for coach Mazey and to see the buffs having success again. They won’t be a pushover next week for CA

Coweta-42 Tahlequah-21
-The loss of their QB last week for Tahlequah ended up being the end of it for them after the 9-0 start to the season. Coweta has turned into a really tough out in the 1st round the last few seasons regardless of what their seasons record has been

Piedmont-24 El Reno-21
-Best game of the 1st round. Piedmont jumped out early and had to hold on late, Dorian Plumley had a great game for El Reno. I like Piedmont’s chances next week on the trip over to Coweta

Let's get some 5A Quarterfinal predictions out shall we?


Bishop Kelley @ Noble
                Although Bishop Kelley has found some success in recent years, Noble wins this win at home. It may be closer than people think.
     Noble 35 vs Bishop Kelley 24

Piedmont @ Coweta
                Here's the deal: if you have the ability to knock off the defending champs, then you have the ability to steamroll to the finals for a rematch. 
     Piedmont 33 @ Coweta 17

Bishop McGuinness @ Edison Prep
               This season, you would think McGuinness would have no trouble here. "Not so fast!" *insert Lee Corso Pencil shake at camera*  McGuinness has some key players injured and hobbled. Ed Prep gets the upset. (Some would say it's not an upset)
     Edison Prep 37 vs Bishop McGuinness 28

McAlester @ Carl Albert
              Carl Albert vs the field. Give me Carl Albert. McAlester scores twice because their QB is tough.
     Carl Albert 54 vs McAlester 14

        

I agree that Piedmont will win, but I think Piedmont will score more than 17 points tonight.

Looks like a tough night for 5A3 but that's why we play the games.
