I don't see any extra credit awarded for my Williamsville pick?

yes.

I'm just kidding, Bigshot.

If extra credit were rewarded your job would get harder X 10.

All in a days work

taylorville can go 9-0 and still get smoked by rochester regardless of rochester's record. probably a quarter final match. just sayin'.

I don't think Taylorville survives to the quarterfinals.

As always, will depend on the draw. They are very undersized up front. They have two really good receivers and an accurate QB.

I agree with net - Rochester could go 7-2 and still be the favorite to win 4A.

Agreed. I think anyone that can negate their 2 big players with similar players, or a better overall team, will result in their not being able to deal with it and I think a meltdown.

But, what I'm learning this year so far, is that just because there's more kid in the school, doesn't necessarily mean the football is any better. I have been extremely underwhelmed with the current quality of the Apollo.

Ya'all are not paying attention if you think Rochester is the favorite this year. IC is the team to beat.

I agree, but I also feel like someone brings it up every year that Rochester is not the favorite....and then they end up winning the whole thing

There's not been - besides Phillips - a team like IC in 4A recently.

Except maybe Bishop Mac who only lost to IC by 1 on the road this year.

I'm hoping Bmac slips to 3A and gets Hersher in the second round!

Ha! If that is a real possibility I'm going to start a prayer tree to see if we can get some divine intervention.

Heads would explode!

That would be sweet! At least Herscher could say that their school band is better.
