Quarterfinals Picks

laverne
regent
dewar
seiling

No way Wetumka beats Seiling. Could be shoot out, but don't see any way Wetumka can hang with them if both teams are healthy

Laverne
Velma
Dewar
Seiling

I honestly think Turpin can make it to the Quarters and then the Semis. If they made it that far, God have mercy on their souls against Laverne.

Hollis is not new to eight man. They came in when Velma did in 2019. Our first year that new group played each other as independants. That group was Quinton, Hollis, Wellston, Okeene,and I think SW Covenenant too. Our 2018 season was canceled after 7 games because we didn't have enough players to continue as we only had 9 available to suite up. When it was mentioned that we could possibly move to 8 man, there was a huge debate here in Velma. No one wanted to moved to 8man, Me included. I was a avid hater of it! But it was my ignorance and best for the team. It wasn't important what we wanted, is was important for what was best for our boys! Tradition runs deep here. Our little town usually outnumbers the home crowds at away games. Our town looks empty on game nights because we are all at the game. It's been that way since I was a boy. I played here, bleed here, sacrificed here. Once a Comet, Aways a Comet.

I wish we played it when I was in school. I love it! So fast paced. I was a speedster. A broken field runner. I grew up when Pernell was dominant in 8 man, but never watched a game till we played our first one in 2019. It wasn't what I was expecting. Glad we made the moved.
