Road to the big House

I’m gonna go way out on a limb and say Roff and Glencoe on championship Saturday at the Big House. Regardless of schedule, Glencoe is putting up some really impressive numbers, and Roff is just Roff. They will be there.

I think that I have already established that my prognostication skills are sub-par. I will defer to the others to provide their lists. To be honest I don't like making predictions when I have teams that I care about in the field. I don't like the conflict between what I want to happen and what I think will happen.

For the same reason I haven't filled out an NCAA tournament bracket in many years. Also, I learned many years ago that I could never beat my wife in predicting the brackets anyways.

AREA I: I'll take Mt. View-Gotebo to go in on Friday and I'll take the field on who goes in on Saturday.

Area II: REAL competitive area! Lots of teams to chose from...
More research is needed for me to predict this area. I like Glencoe but.... I like FT.C-B but..... They are the favorite but I like the underdog sometimes. Earlsboro and Varnum are banged up right now and I don't know if, 0r when they get back to 100% so it tough picking them until I know more on their health status. I will say that if Varnum is 100% healthy I see a couple upsets in the making. 

AREA III: I shopuld be chalk but Turner might have a little to say about it. What I'm saying is that I think Turner will give them a good game. Sentinel is my upset special in this bracket.

AREA IV: Pittsburg is chalk for me. Springer just might come in on Saturday. I don't think Stringtown will recover from their game with Roff to well.

Give me Roff and MVG in the finals this year. Roff winning by 7.

Haven’t seen Springer play but didn’t Roff beat them by 32 the other day? And I don’t feel Stringtowns loss to Roff will affect them in a negative way. In fact i think it will help them. I believe that’s a game they thought they should have won. They went 0 for how ever many from three in the first half and missed at least 8 free throws and was tied with 2 minutes to go.

oh I agree. I’m not saying Roff didn’t have a bad half as well. I’m just giving my 2 cents which isn’t worth much. I’ve watched both of them play several times this year. I was told that arguably the best player for Stringtown had just returned the day prior to the game from Covid. My source told me after the game that he said that he just didn’t have any energy. I knew from watching him earlier this year that something was bothering him.

My state champ pick will come out of the pool of MVG, FCB, Glencoe, Roff, and Pitt. To me Glencoe might be the team to beat but their style is not always a winning state style. FCB tradition hard to ignore as is MVG talent and unblemished record!

Anyone know if VDAWG is still doing brackets?

I just saw that the district brackets are out on the ossaa.com website for those interested.
