3 Games this week... Good news, we might have another week if all goes right; bad news is this week could be it for us for the season... Make your picks count!

Hopewell at Lord Botetourt
Indian River at Highland Springs
Thomas Dale at Oscar Smith

Hopewell (Central Distric or bust)
The Springers (HSHS powerful O against IR's nasty D)
Oscar Smith (Nice run for a very good TD team, but unfortunately it comes to halt in the semis).

Great showing for the teams from Richmond. Good luck to all three teams left.

You guys are seeing something in Dale that I don't see.

Lol I know I don't see it either but in my personal opinion OS should have lost 3 games this year and they usually play to the level of their competition.

If they let Dale hang around it could be a Dale upset

I think the Central region overall was stronger this year for D5 especially.. as most Richmond D6 teams play almost all D5 teams. In the 757 D6 teams play a lot of other bad D6 teams. It was a 2 horse race from the get go down there.

I think OS has better talent but I guess its just a gut feeling... My gut usually isn't wrong but it sure was wrong last week picking Hanover so who knows.. I'm taking Cortland over LT tomm too!

I didn't see it the year Dale won the Title. Oscar Smith was ranked #6 Nationally, but Dale did it then! Why not now?

Real talk I like your take on that... I was thinking the same thing. Dale is one of those teams that finds a way year in and year out. Either way kudos to us for going out on a limb. Easy to just pick the chalk predictions.
