Sorry for the delay fellas. Grandad couldn’t find the password to his AOL account, so he was late feeding me the picks. I told him if I don’t go 25-0 again this week, that’s absolutely his fault! I will say though, the 2nd best highlight of the forums last week was Grandad emerging from anonymity to actually post something! Come back Grandad, we all need you in here dude!! You know you want to! Don’t let them censor you buddy, you’re the OG of the fam!! Spread those wings and express yo self!!
Here you go, all in fun of course, and just my opinion. Never facts!!
Non-Division
Norman Twolves @ Stillwater Gold - Norman is on a roll and will not get tested the rest of the way, probably won’t give up even a single point the rest of the regular season, unless maybe they rest all 11 starters or something. This team is so solid!
Yukon White @ Stillwater Blue
Division 1
Choctaw Gold @ Piedmont - Piedmont showed they can play too, and deserve a playoff seed. They too should win out their regular season schedule, and will be a touch first round matchup for anyone.
Yukon Red @ Edmond Wolves - Should be a fun and competitive game for these two teams, which is what it's all about!
Division 2
Edmond Bulldogs @ Choctaw Blue - No one wants to play these guys! We’ll learn a lot more about them when they play Piedmont, but until then, they roll over everyone in their path.
Norman Tigers @ Westmoore
Division 3
BA Chrome @ Jenks Maroon - Maroon gets it done at home, and sets up a huge game with Glenpool next week.
Owasso White @ McAlester - Still haven’t seen McAlester play, but I know Owasso White will be ready, and definitely won't forget their cleats! That Mac pass attack will get tested by a nasty pass rush! #4 should strip one and run it back for 6!!
BA White @ Muskogee - Muskogee is no walk in the park, and they are probably one of the most improved teams from last year. BA White is known for Cowboy, and that dude is legit, and covers a ton of field on D especially. But, they have a lot of other super solid players. Quick story - one of my best players kept getting de-cleated on several kickoffs last week!! The same kid just kept teeing off on him, even when my player knew he was coming. Meaning, BA White has a host of kids that can play at a high level, and are physical. Crazy to think they likely won’t make the playoffs (unless they can beat O-White). If they lose to OWhite, they will then be my early favorites to win the PST.
Union Black @ Glenpool - Union Black is better than people think, but so is Glenpool! They will win this one and set up a huge game with Jenks Maroon next week. Can’t wait! Union Black will also go far in the PST though, IMO.
Division 4
Claremore @ Lincoln Christian - Rumor has it # 44 got called up to the LC Varsity team. So, he’s not playing in this game. Heck, even without him LC would still be dominant. But, throw in that lil dude and good luck! No one wants to play these guys, not even BA Black. Btw, I think a LC v BA Black re-match in the playoffs would be so EPIC! We could sell tickets at 2x the cost for that one!
Bixby Red @ Owasso Black - Bixby Red continues to show they are the same solid team they have always been known to be.
Jenks White @ Wagoner - Jenks White makes an absolute STATEMENT with their clutch game last week. I'm telling you, #22 and his squad are on a mission. They are feeling confident, and that won’t bode well for Wagoner. Clock shuts off by halftime.
BA Black @ Coweta Black - BA Black will swarm Coweta RB. He will likely still break at least one on them, but I think BA Black is just too much. They control the clock so well, and will score about once per quarter, and won’t give Coweta many possessions. I think Coweta will score once, on a broken play and long run. But, they won't get too many first downs in this game, and won't sustain drives. Then the ball turns back over to that Black hole of a BA Offense, that ends up in the end zone on every possession. I'd guess 24-6. Please prove me wrong Coweta!
Division 5
TYAA @ Union Silver - Union Silver is a great team, and they will give TYAA the hardest test they've had to date. If TYAA shuts them out, I’ll be very surprised. But, TYAA wins big in the end, and is just dominating everyone right now. Nasty!!
Bixby Blue @ BA Silver - I really love this Bixby team, and I think they dominate again this week. Those kids are tough, and will make another deep run in the Playoffs this year!
Sand Springs @ Catoosa - Catoosa finally pulls of a big W. I haven’t seen SS play, but they have seemed to play well in tough games (just based off of scores). Catoosa is still trying to find their identity, but I think this week they find it! #28 is a stud, keep him going hard and he's a difference maker.
Jenks Black @ BA Platinum - BA Platinum was a playoff team last year, only losing to the Champs by a couple TD's. They are a great team, and probably favored to win this game. But, Jenks is fired up to show they are the Rookies of the year, and I’m going with the Trojans!! Statement game for JB!
AA Division 1
Verdigris @ Bartlesville Blue
Hilldale @ Skiatook
Coweta White @ Seqouyah
AA Division 2
Collinsville @ Bishop Kelley - Cards will have these boys ready and fired up, you can count on that!
Bartlesville White @ Sapulpa
South Tulsa @ Holland Hall
Non-Division AA
Pryor @ Berryhill - we scrimmaged Berryhill in 3rd grade and Pryor this year. Both tough teams, but I think Pryor gets the W here, especially just because of that D.
