INFC 5th Grade – Week 1
BA gold vs. Owasso Red – OWASSO (Based on last year’s division records)
BA Orange vs. Jenks Silver – JENKS (Also based on last year)
Comets vs Yellowjackets – YELLOWJACKETS (They won my coin toss)
Wagoner vs Claremore – WAGONER (They had a bit better division record last year – depending on how the teams combined)
FT Gibson vs. Bartlesville White – FT GIBSON (FG seems to be a new team but B-white doesn’t seem to have won a game last year)
Union Silver vs. Edmond Huskies - HUSKIES (Union went 5-3 last year in division play and the Huskies are a brand new team, but… I watched the Huskies scrimmage Saturday and they are WELL COACHED)
Stillwater vs. Berryhill - BERRYHILL (I agree with Kaide, this WILL be a great matchup but I’m giving BH the slight edge)
Catoosa vs. Verdigris Red - CATOOSA (Catoosa gets the nod from me, especially if Kaide says they are improved from last year)
Coweta vs. BA Platinum – COWETA (Based on last year’s records)
Sand Springs vs. Westmoore – WESTMOORE (Westmoore looked pretty sharp on Saturday in Choctaw)
Choctaw vs. BA Black – CHOCTAW (Choctaw also looked sharp. Some might call this “west side bias,” but I call it… ummm… ok, it’s west side bias!)
Bixby Blue vs. Edmond Bulldogs – BULLDOGS (This Edmond team that missed the playoffs last year by 2 divisional points is much improved and among the best in the west now)
TYAA Blue vs. Norman – TYAA (Even my west side bias can’t pick Norman on this one)
Sequoyah vs Lincoln Christian - LINCOLN CHRISTIAN (This one is tough because Sequoyah had a slightly better record last year, but I have lost EVERY SINGLE TIME I have bet against LC)
Collinsville vs. Union Red - COLLINSVILLE (Based on last year)
Yukon vs. Bixby White – BIXBY (Yukon made the playoffs last year and as much as I would like to pick them, Bixby has the edge based on their record. Hopefully Yukon will prove me wrong!)
Owasso Black vs. Piedmont – OWASSO (Piedmont has made some noise in the other grades but Black’s record last year was considerably better)
Hilldale vs Verdigris Black – HILLDALE (Based on last year)
Glenpool vs. Sapulpa – SAPULPA (Edge based on divisional record)
TYAA White vs. McAlester - TYAA (Wish I could show my SE OK team some love here but TYAA has an edge based on last year’s record)
Jenks White vs. Bartlesville Blue - BARTLESVILLE (This should be a great game but Bartlesville gets the edge from me)
