Favorites , sleepers and upsets

Now that the bracket is finalized, there are some really intriguing potential match-ups in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

In the upper right quadrant, Beggs-Vian could be fun in the second round. Ultimately talent probably wins out and Beggs makes their way to the semis. When healthy, Beggs is a tough out for anyone in 2A. They have size and athleticism that few teams can match.

There to meet them will likely be the winner of Washington and Rejoice. That should be a fantastic game with skill talent all over the field. Dont sleep on the Eagles. Their QB is playing as well as any in the state right now. Washington has the edge defensively, but they have not been tested this year like they will in that game.

Beggs vs Either of those two teams would be a fun game. When Rejoice played Beggs early in the year, over 120 points were scored!

On the other side you have a potential 3rd round game of OK Christian and Eufala. OK Christian goes in as a big favorite, but Eufala should not be overlooked. That game could come down to which defense prevents chunk plays and gets stops.

That winner will draw the winner of Marlow and Victory Christian which should be a fantastic game, much like the Rejoice-Washington game. Victory is balanced and has lots of athletes. They are not particularly big up front, so that is an area where Marlow can take advantage. Marlow will have to take away verticals to Josh Udomuh to jeep the game where they want it. I look forward to seeing that game
