There are some good games this week and in many districts the playoff picture is beginning to come into focus. Monahans/Kermit should be a good game. I lean toward going with the loboes but you can't discount a pesky Kermit team. Kermit's coach took Ballinger to the quarterfinals back in the mid nineties so he knows how to coach in the big games. Sweetwater/Merkel will likely decide the positioning of the two small schools playoff representatives from 3-3a. I think that Sweetwater will take this game. Merkel has done very well but someone told me that their star running back might be injured. If this is true it will definitely hurt against a team like Sweetwater and could jeopardize their playoff hopes in week 10. He (Caraway) is the catalyst for their team. Hopefully he is not injured. If anyone knows for sure let us know. The other really big game is the Vernon/Iowa Park matchup which will decide the positioning of the small school representatives in 5-3a. Iowa Park has surprised alot of people as has Vernon with the loss of Bernard Scott. This should be a great game. The winner will likely be decided by who is the most prepared to gut out the win. What does everyone think about these games and others? Picks (Last week 9/9):
Monahans over Kermit in a squeaker
Ft. Stockton over Pecos (Had high hopes for the eagles...Stockton played well against greenwood)
Ballinger over Comanche (This will be a much closer game than Comanche vs Wylie)
Wylie over Brady (Wylie will crush Brady, this could get ugly)
Clyde over Early (sets up a showdown with Comanche next week...I like the Bulldogs in that one too!!)
Snyder over Lamesa (big)
Sweetwater over Merkel (If Merkel is without Caraway this could be a blowout)
Denver City over Seminole (should be a close hard fought game)
Vernon over Iowa Park (This one could go either way)
Graham over Breckenridge
