I don't know about you guys, but I have been watching Valley and I am pretty sure there isn't anyone who can hang with Valley. I pick them to win it all!!

I imagine the boys from Ira, Sands, Water Valley, BC, & Rankin are all going to fight like hades for the opportunity to stop them.

There are 29 other teams, their coaches and fans right now that are hoping you're wrong.

But we'll see.

Smart kid.

Well that is I think they will win the West. Once they get to the state game it will be a different story. I have been tracking Throckmorton and they are the real deal.

Ira, sands, WV, Rankin, and BC are gonna all fight each other for the chance to get to state, or to the third round for that matter, however valley could be in shell shock when they finally meet up with some competition been several weeks since they were even remotely tested, petersberg should be a good test for them in round two, provided they get past Paducah in the first round and petersberg takes care of business. Ira, Rankin, Sands, WV, and BC will definately be more battle tested so a mild upset is very possible.

Whichever team survives that brutal region deserves a ring

That's the bad thing about the west being so loaded with good teams this year. Regions I and II occupy 13 of the top 15 spots in Granger's current iteration of The Toy.

Of the aforementioned 13, one team is not even in the playoffs. 8 of the remaining 12 will not make it out of the second round.

The only reasonable contest in the first round is Ira - Sands.

No one has an advantage, or disadvantage going into the playoffs with possibly Ira and Sands, having to play such a tough first round game.

Just an FYI, Valley has 45'd three of the playoff teams, and defeated a fourth.

I'm about to PO all the buffalo fans, but how the hades is Petersberg so highly ranked? What I've seen of them, they didn't look as good as Meadow. Or O'Donnell for that matter.

They beat Meadow.

O'Donnell is not even a playoff caliber team.

I guess a team needs to be South of Lubbock to garner your favor?

well this is a first but I'm gonna with rainjack's homer team and pick Valley to win it all. I think Ira and Water Valley will have a say but ultimately Valley will get it done.

Just FYI, Ira has defeated 8 of the playoff teams and has 45'd-5 of those 8

Ira also has the toughest first round game too

you are sure right about that, we will see if Ira can really hang real quick

most definitely!!
