Balliner vs Midland Greenwood
7:30 Friday Grande Communications Stadium, Midland
Last Year: Greenwood 27 Ballinger 6
Greenwood 42 Balliner 20 (Reg Semi-Final)

Key Players: Ballinger TB Antonio Posey, WR John King
Greenwood QB/K Dawson Wilbur, TB Jeremy Audas

About Ballinger: Could this be the year Ballinger breaks through and makes a run at a title? On offense it starts with Posey who with an injury free year could put up big time numbers...King leads an underrated group of recievers that takes a lot of pressure off Posey...the Defense returns 7 and should be even better this year..

About Greenwood: No one saw 15-1 coming from the Rangers last year as they nearly shocked the world as they rolled into the state title game before losing a heartbreaker to Bandera..the Rangers still have plenty of ammo left and Wilbur and Audas are the big guns..Audas had 1663 yards last year and Wilbur is a threat to run, pass or kick..as he has 50+ range...

Overall: Maybe the game of the week in West Texas..Ballinger will be looking to avenge 2 tough losses last year...and a question surrounding Greenwood can they handle being the hunted instead of the hunter? I think this one will be close...Ballinger could very well pull the upset but I'll take Greenwood by 4....

For the record, not that anybody is counting, but Dawson has kicked several field goals above the 60's and his kick-offs on average are a yard or two out of the back of the end zone.

I don't see Greenwood going down yet. It should be a great game, but I suspect Greenwood will prevail. But, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see these two meet again in the postseason (although I haven't looked to see which division these two will go into assuming they both make the playoffs.) Just my take.
