Aubrey over Canton by 24
Melissa over Dallas Lincoln by 45
Celina over Ferris by 35
Caddo Mills over Wills Point by 14

Melissa and Celina scores could be more.

[WOS87]

Well we prolly could beat that 74 point spread but Coach Thompson would never do that. In the past four years our first round opponents have a combined 5 wins.

Yeah, and those poor first-round teams were going up against some of the best WOS squads ever ... which is saying something.

You're probably right. Celina will have their hands full next week, with either Atlanta or Jasper, though. And Rusk won't be a pushover for Melissa. Although, I full expect the Cardinals to be playing for the Region II title.

So..., you think Melissa will beat the Buckeyes if they take care of their end? I'm thinking a Pleasant Grove / Gilmer rematch in the regional finals.

I do think Melissa will beat Gilmer. I certainly could be wrong, but the Cardinals have the right makeup to take down the Buckeyes.

They are big and fast on defense. Their LBs are some of the quickest I've seen in a while. Only LB corps I've seen this year that is better is the bunch from Carthage. They cover well in the open field, too. Their DEs are very quick off the snap and keep contain very well, and put relentless pressure on the opposing QB. DBs are solid. Not otherworldly, but they are good at limiting the big play. On offense, the Cardinals have plenty of athletes, a good, physical, quick RB, a good receiving corps, and a QB who can deliver the ball on-time, on-target, and makes good decisions. And he can run the ball pretty well, too. Not nearly as good as Copeland was at Argyle, but he was the best QB in 4A this year before he got hurt, in my opinion.

I actually have Melissa winning Div. II, for what it's worth, which is nothing.

[regaleagle]

Surprise, surprise, surprise.......I also have Melissa winning Division II. I have them against Pleasant Grove, then Graham, and beating Cuero for the title. The way this year has gone with trying to pick weekly winners, the Cardinals will probably not get out of the 3rd Round.....which just so happens to be the Gilmer game, LOL.

Yep...I don't think anyone has come out on top of the Bux in the same year...a hard row to hoe.

Scratching my head at Alvarado being an 8 point favorite..we’re 3-7, and a 3rd seed.

Springtown is terrible.
