Second Round Predictions

Good look except for Dibble vs Mangum, I have Mangum 28-13.... don’t think Dibble can stop Mangum offense. Also think the Frederick vs Ringling game will be closer than that.

There may be a team or two in class A that can hold our offense to one TD, but I doubt Frederick is one of them. We shall find out, though. Should be a good game.

I agree about the Cashion/Texhoma game, the Red Devils have some speed that could give Cashion problems.

Wewoka won't beat Rejoice. Texhoma is better than most anyone has given them credit for to this point. That is why I predicted they would beat Hobart last weekl; I knew they were better than they were getting credit for. That happens fairly frequently with Texhoma given that they're way off in the middle of nowhere, "out of sight, out of mind." But as I and others have said for years, "never count them out." Don't get me wrong; I don't think they can beat Cashion, but I agree with jacketeer that they'll give the Wildcats a game.

I think a good argument can be made that Ringling is the best defensive team in the state. Frederick may be a close second, but I don't know. Granted that several of their (Ringling's) shutouts were against poor teams, but several of them were against pretty good offensive teams too. Our weakness is, no doubt, on offense. We're essentially one dimensional inasmuch as we rely on the running game, and aren't very good in the passing game. Our QB is another problem per our running capabilities; he's one of those kids who is, by nature, very non-aggressive. If I were coach Koons & Co. (pay attention, coach, if you are reading this) I'd sit him down in the locker room all by himself and have him watch reel after reel of Richie Gandy running the offense 'back in the day'. In which case he would see aggressive QB play at its finest by one of the best all-around class A QBs to ever play the game in Oklahoma.

Notwithstanding all of the above, I predict Ringling to win the upcoming 28-7.

I think if Texhoma can successfully stop the run VS Cashion this game could get interesting. So will all depend on that I still have Cashion winning 28-12. Minco should win this game but it depends which Thomas team shows up! They are night and day some weeks but the games they have lost is becuase they have beaten theirself. They have elite speed, big size up front, have to find consistency in pass game as do most teams in Class A except Mangum, Rejoice, Stroud and Pawhuska. The loss of Winters to Minco is a big one as well. I look for Wewoka Athletes to challenge Rejoice a lot especially vertically but think Rejoice coaching will win them this game. 35-20.

Yeah, we know. Can't speak for the Bombers, but I guarantee you Ringling would love to play Mangum again.

I think Wayne will give Pawnee a run for their money. Wayne's QB is really good at running that read option offense they run and he is only a sophomore. They have been on a tear ever since the Stroud game when they got all their guys back healthy. They have been the hottest team imo coming into the playoffs.

Didn’t Wayne just go into overtime with Allen 2 weeks ago?
