Good picking greencountry

How 'bout Riverfield continuing to be remarkably consistent!

I agree with your comment on the other thread...area 4 could have all games decided by 10 or less.

Only exception may be Summit vs Liberty. I expect Liberty to avenge their earlier loss pretty handily now that they are back at full strength. Having said that, I've been wrong about Summit multiple times. They had 4 kids foul out against Drumright and still found a way. One thing I knew they had was depth...and it paid off big time to get them to area.

Since Liberty got their shot last year, I'd probably prefer to see Riverfield get their shot this year... but... I'm sticking with my Liberty story

...They get it done with 3 wins in 3 days!

Watched that SW Cov./Sentinel game online. Great game. SW completely gave the game away. Lead 58-52 with possession with 1:20 to go. Numerous TOs late and Sentinel made some plays. Teams were pretty evenly matched. Sentinel is most definitely overrated as I've suspected all season. I estimate they may not be a Top 10 team, definitely not Top 5. Not surprised to see Riverfield get a big win. They should have been ranked all along, probably in the 15th range, if not higher. Kinda thought Allen would beat Drummond, but I saw it was an OT game, so really close. Huge win for Wright City, they may turn out to be a Top 10 team. Talihina and Glencoe probably are probably the two worst teams to make Area but they both had good draws and played better than expected. That Seiling/Okarche game should be a really good one. Both teams have a chance to make at least the Semis at State IMO.

I could see Liberty beat Summit by 25-30 points as well. That weight city team is tough, I was surprised to see them beat Rattan? But not shocked…when you play a conference rival numerous times, the games get tougher and tougher to survive!

waynewater Liberty could win 3 times in a row…I do know they are fully capable. Riverfield and Okay play each other offseason and I had a friend tell me they scrimmaged earlier in the year and it was competitive, so it should be a great weekend coming up for all areas. I’m not counting Stonewall out yet either, if they are not defended properly, they can beat most every team too.

I agree it would be foolish to count out Stonewall. And I agree on the defensive point too. I think Riverfield has the discipline to manage them best. If Stonewall could somehow get past Red Oak and Liberty, I'd take Riverfield in that matchup.

As well as Riverfield has been playing, it seems weird to not pick them. Just a guess that the magic runs out. But absolutely no reason (evidence) that's the case. They have just been so consistent all year.

The Allen Drummond game was also streaming. Allen was up 11 early in the 4th then their big guy fouled out. Drummond got on a run and was able to tie it. You could tell the momentum was causing some stress. If those two play again it’ll be fun. But I’m not sure who wins Drummond-Sentinel.

I hope both teams have fun

Not sure Sentinel is overrated. Definitely wouldn’t say they’re overrated because SW Covenant played them close. SW Covenant is also a very competitive team that was playing for a Regional Championship. I can’t say Sentinel is overrated because they played a pretty decent schedule and beat a lot of good teams.

Texhoma looked tired vs Seiling for the regional championship. I think Texhoma is better then what they showed. Seiling also had a Regional Championship game at home, on their court, in front of their fans. Pretty tough environment to play in. I look forward to see if Texhoma can grind out two wins and have a shot on Saturday to go back to State.
