Thank you sir! Let's see a little participation from the peanut gallery....

BA Black vs Bixby Blue- Good matchup here, would love to have some film on this game so if either of you coaches want to swap film get at me.  BA Black is big up front, and looked pretty well in mid season form running their offense from what I saw in the scrimmages.  Over all I think Bixby Blue could win this game, but number of players will take its toll and that could possibly let things get out of hand.  Something tells me the Bixby coaches are more interested in getting every kid on their team better and these non-division games don't "matter" in the play-off picture, so they may run the second team out more than most.  And i completely respect them for it! BA takes it home by 2 scores.

BA Orange vs Union Silver- Union Silver has firepower, size and speed across the board.  Too much for BA Orange to handle.  That BA line will give it 100 though! Union Silver by 3 scores

BA Gold vs Owasso Red- I picked Ored to make the dance so I'm not going to start off by picking against them now.  Honestly BA Gold is a playoff team in Div 1 as well, so this could be an interesting matchup.  BA wins the size matchup, but I think Ored has the speed.  If Ored can tackle well and swarm the ball I think they might capitalize on a few mistakes and take this one.  Ored 16-15

BA Platinum vs Jenks Silver- Having not seen much of BA platinum besides one scrimmage, they look to be lacking in size up front.  They played hard but I'm just not sure they can slow down 42.  Silver needs to gang tackle, gang tackle, gang tackle, and gang tackle some more.... Silver by 2 scores

Sand Springs vs Owasso Black- Were gonna roll down 412 and be prepared for a good football game.  May the best team win

Jenks White vs Bixby White- GOTW- Man o man what a matchup out of the gate! I almost went Bixby on this one and I had to break it down.  I think the lines are pretty well even, I think Bixby wins at QB and possibly WR, but I have to give the ground attack for Jenks white the nod.  That leaves two even teams and if I rank overall defense, I think Jenks white has the edge so give me the Div 1 team by 1 score in a heck of a season opener!

Union Black vs Muskogee- This one is intriguing, having seen both teams play.  Muskogee has playmakers all over and really nice size on the line.  I think the redskins can hang with the roughers early but a few mistakes break to the Gee late.  Muskogee by 2 scores in a fast paced one

Union Red vs Jenks Maroon- I think Maroon went winless last season in AA, but you couldn't tell by watching them in the scrimmages.  Hats off to the coaches and players cause they certainly looked ready to play in the contests I got to watch.  My money is on Red though, and it rides with #10.  If he is under 150lbs, he takes this one over and finds the EZ 3-4 times to put Union ahead at the final whistle by 2 scores.

Bonus Game of the Week- Owasso HS vs Bixby Hs in the zero week battle of the burbs at chapman stadium!  I may live to regret this since I do actually live in Bixby.... But Owasso brings the blitz early and often in a barn burner, 45-42(I will be wearing my spartans gear under my rams stuff in case it gets out of hand and this post has been programmed to self destruct at half time if Bixby has a huge lead....
