Round one of the Playoffs was a good one. We still have six teams moving on to the second round. But let’s run down last week’s games!
The Tigers of Valley Head hosted Ragland. The Tigers took care of business as they defeated Ragland 30-14. The Bison of North Sand Mountain ran into a buzz saw as Locust Fort rolled past NSM 54-7. The Big Red Machine of Fyffe waxed West End 48-0. The Eagles of Pisgah flew past Pleasant Valley 44-20. The Rams of Sylvania trampled Vinemont 41-0. Collinsville lost a heartbreaker to Southeastern 28-21. The Bulldogs of Geraldine clawed past Susan Moore 56-14. Haleyville ran past North Jackson 33-14. The Wildcats of Fort Payne got past Mortimer Jordan 45 -28. The Wildcats of Scottsboro fell to Moody 28-10! Georgia rolled past Ole Miss. 52-17. Well, now on to the second round!
The Tigers of Valley Head will travel to Hacklesburg! Hacklesburg comes in with a 10-1 record; Valley Head has an 8-3 record. Hacklesburg scored 35 points per game and gave up 11 points, and Valley Head scored 31 points per game and gave up 17. This should be a good one. I look for Hacklesburg to slip past Valley Head 28-21.
The Eagles of Pisgah travel to Tanner. Tanner, 8-3, scored 41 points per game while giving up 23. Pisgah 10-1 scored 49 points per game and gave up 22 points. This should be a dozy, with the Eagles of Pisgah winning 38-34.
Lexington will make the trip to Fyffe to face the Red Devils! Lexington 7-4 averages 39 points per game while giving up 28 points. Fyffe 10-1 averages 45 points per game and gives up 8 points per game! The Big Red Machine of Fyffe rolls past Lexington 42-17.
The Bulldogs of Geraldine 10-1 travels to Gordo 10-1! Gordo averages 44 points per game and gives up 13 points, while Geraldine averages 37 points per game and gives up 11 points! This will be a slobber knocker! The Bulldogs of Geraldine slip past Gordo, 28-24.
Winfield makes the trip up to Sylvania. Winfield brings a 10-1 record, averaging 40 points per game and giving up 12 points with Sylvania 9-2, averaging 38 points per game while giving up 17! The Rams of Sylvania take care of Winfield 34-28.
The Wildcats of Fort Payne head to Muscle Shoals! Muscle Shoals brings a 10-0 record, scoring 44 points per game on offense while giving up 15 points per game on defense. Fort Payne comes in with an average of 40 points per game on offense and 29 on defense. I look for Muscle Shoals to take care of the Wildcats at home! Muscle Shoals 42, Fort Payne 36!
In Big Boy Ball, Georgia runs past Tennessee 48-21. Missouri beats Florida 38-31. Kentucky slips past South Carolina 31-28, and North Carolina defeats Clemson 28-24. Well, that is a wrap on week 2 of the playoffs. I hope all of the area teams win. Make sure to save me a spot by the fence! Hope to see you next week!
