I’m taking Rejoice 28-21 in a great game. I think the Blue Devils slow down the Eagles, but the Eagles still have enough fire power to pull out the victory.
Cashion vs Pawnee will also be a great game, but I’ll take the Wildcats to get the W. I have Cashion winning 42-28. I think the Wildcat defense will have a learning curve in slow down the Black Bears, but figure it out by the end of the game.
We have four pretty well matched teams in the semis and will be fun watching to see how it plays out.
I will be rooting big for Ringling but i just think Rejoice will be way to much for Ringling. I said it earlier this year after watching Rejoice play Crossings christian that they will beat everybody they play this year by 3 or 4 td's including in the playoffs and i'm sticking with it. I just don't see a team that can keep up with them for 4 quarters.
If Ringling doesn't force a bunch of turnovers they will not stop that Eagles offense. Rejoice is probably the most balance team in class A. Last week against Thomas their QB threw for over 200 yards and their RB ran for over 200 yards. On the flip side with Ringling being so one demnsional will hurt them because Rejoice has the size and athletes to stop Ringling and get the ball back quickly.
I expect the same struggles Ringling had against Mangum to show up again against Rejoice. Only difference is Rejoice is a much much better footbal team than Mangum is IMO.

I think 2eagles may have said it best when he and his eldest son told me at the game Friday night that offensively we are "pretty predictable." In spite of that, no one has been able to stop our offense so far, but of course we all know it doesn't get any easier as you advance in the playoffs. I will say that our QB probably played the best game against the Huskies I have seen him play in three years; there was an intensity and a confidence in him I have not seen before that game. Also, I've mentioned before that the coaches made several key adjustments following the Mangum and Dickson games that have helped our offensive production immensely. Offensively at least Ringling just isn't the same team that Mangum beat in week 1. But you may be right; Rejoice might just prove too much for our boys in spite of all the rest. We're definitely going to find out come Friday night. 2Eagles and I have been hoping for this match up for two years now. As I have told him before, "I don't know if our boys are good enough to beat Rejoice or not, but I'd sure like to find out!" I'm fixing to get my wish. And, win or lose, I'm pretty proud of our team this year.
I don't think Rejoice can beat us by 3 TDs, but we'll see.
I don’t day that because I think Ringling is a bad team. Ringling is solid. Rejoice just plays offense better than Ringling plays defense and Ringling plays defense pretty good. I wouldn’t be shocked if Rejoice beat them by one but I see Rejoice winning big more likely than a close one. The only team I think can keep up with Rejoice is maybe Pawnee.
I agree it's gonna take another high powered offense to beat this Rejoice team. Aside from literally a 3 min stretch from the end of the 3rd into the 4th Rejoice dominated Thomas. I will be rooting for Ringling hard but i just don't see how they will be able to keep up for all 4 qtrs.This years Rejoice team is every bit as good as Startford and Homimy was a fews seasons ago IMO.

Thanks, @oldblue760 . I didn't take it that you were dogging our boys out, and I understand where both you and dtrain are coming from. The game could definitely get away from our boys if they're not playing their best football. Anyone from Ringling who was at the Pawhuska game and is not completely blinded by "homerism" knows that the weather played into our hands the other night. That and the fact that our kids felt like they got robbed out of that TD in the 2nd qtr when the officials called it a fumble and touchback. I didn't have a good angle on it, so I couldn't really say one way or the other whether the officials got the call right, but that is beside the point; the kids thought they got robbed and they reacted with a determination that, as fans, you could not only see in them, but feel it also. In hindsight, I really think Pawhuska was just going through the motions after that call; I don't think they had a chance from that point on. There is also the fact that last time we played in the semi-final game it was against Cashion at Noble, and we all remember the final outcome in that game.
Defense wins championships not high powered gimmick offenses.
Soooo....you’re saying Ringling wins? Ringling plays good defense but Rejoices offense is just better. It’s like in a wrestling match where you have two good wrestlers but one has a better take down offense than the other wrestler has take down defense.

All 4 teams are legit. I have watched Cashion the last 2 weeks. I like the matchup between them and Pawnee. Size up front for both. Should be a slug fest. Pawnee might be the easiest team to prepare for, but it seems they are absolutely very difficult to stop. Love the mentality.
3 teams are like that. Ringling's style is the same. Cashion has a lil bit more wiggle, and a little bit less physicality.
Rejoice is a juggernaut. i really like the mix of older and younger linemen they have, and Anderson is a beast. Is Walker the best QB that is left?
Love is God's grace made actionable. I pray for a complete season for as many of our kids as possible.
Boy was i wrong on the Ringling and Rejoice game. Ringling is doing almost the excact same thing they did to Wynnewood in the 2012 State Champion game. Controlling the clock and Rejoice is helping them do it. Rejoice is playing into Ringlings game by running the ball almost as much is ringling did in the 1st half. It might hurt them in the end because both teams are running so much time off the clock but Ringling is the best at it.
Rejoice played to much into Ringling game plan in the first half instead of just sticking with just passing the ball. If they would of did that they would of had a much better shot at winning this game.
