Congratulations to all the division champs on a remarkable regular season. I also want to congratulate every other team on a great season. Regardless of our records, it is my hope that the kids learned the basic fundamentals of football and hopefully a little bit about life as well. Football is such a great tool to teach our youth about the challenges in life if coaches choose to use it for something other than just the game because its so much more than that in my very strong opinion. I have already filled my bracket out with how I think it will end up but I thought I would try to start some conversation with my picks for the elite 8. I will not break it down. Shaffer and Cards are the best at that and I will wait to read their thoughts as we move through the tournament. I mean absolutely no disrespect to any teams. I've had alot of fun this year, I have learned sooo much. LoL, even as a rookie on this forum. Good luck to everyone!!! Here are my picks.
Collinsville Red
BA Black
Bixby Blue
Berryhill Gold
TYAA Blue
LC Gold
Hilldale Red
LC Black
These are just my opinions. Obviously, that changes with winner of TYAA Black/Collinsville Red game but them Cards are a very tough team and the champs will have their hands full. Hope to see that one.
Silver will be ready to play hard and give it all we got but I will not pick my first round game. I have great respect for Gorilla and, in the end, we are BA!!! That is where my heart is. GO BA!!! Good luck to all!!!
