This week is a very good week of high school football. This could be the best week of the year. So let us get started. [b]7A: Central Phenix City Vs Opelika[/b] You know I almost put the Thompson vs Mountain Brook game, and I think highly of Mountain Brook but I do not think they stand a chance against Thompson. This game is a rivalry those are usually great games. These two schools are both contenders in their respective classifications. CPC is the last team to defeat Thompson, could they meet them again for the state title? Can Opelika put early defeats behind them and attempt to capture the 6A title? There will be no shortage of talent in this game. This game will be very fun to watch, and I look forward to this game. [b]My Prediction: [/b] CPC has more talent than Opelika and has more depth. Opelika will give it everything they got, but will fall short of one of the best teams in 7A with the talent to knock off Thompson. CPC wins 41-38. [b]6A: Helena vs McAdory [/b] What a pleasant surprise these two teams have been. This is the best start in Helena's program history. McAdory has bounced back from some down years. These two teams are entering undefeated and both could contend for the 6A title. You have the traditional power who has been playing football for over 100 years, versus the new kids on the block who have not even played football for 10 years. The classic "Old vs New" Battle. [b]My Prediction: [/b] I think highly of both teams and do not think this will be the last time they face this season. However I think Helena takes down McAdory to continue their quest for a perfect season. Helena wins close 17-14 [b]5A: Pleasant Grove vs Central Clay County[/b] Last season I thought these two teams would meet once again in the state title game. I was wrong as St. Pauls won. However Pleasant Grove made it back. Do I think these two teams will meet once again for the state title? Yes. However these two teams find a way to put on a show once again. You have Central Clay who is very good and I think will take down the Pike Road Patroits this November, vs Pleasant Grove who is looking to capture that state title after losing in back to back title games. [b]My Prediction:[/b] Pleasant Grove takes this game, but Central Clay will win the title and send Pleasant Grove with another runner up trophy this December. Give me Pleasant Grove to win 42-34. [b]4A: Handley vs Lanett [/b] Lanett was the closest team to beating Handley last season and Handley only lost to Central Clay County by a singular point. This game last year ended 6-3. Will this year be the same story? or will Lanett find a way to knock off the best team in 4A? Overall I think this game will be a high scoring showdown. [b]My Prediction: [/b] Handley is the same if not better than last season where they should had gone undefeated. Lanett will still make a deep run in 2A, however Handley will be your 4A champions for a reason. Give me Handley to win 49-40. [b]3A: Montgomery Catholic vs Montgomery Academy[/b] These two schools are a blast to watch. Last season they spilt the series and Catholic won the game that matter the most to clinch a title appearance. Montgomery Academy stumbled early but their offense has bounced back and looks just like last season. Montgomery Catholic has destroyed every team in their way so far. This game will be a battle of who's defense makes the play when it matters most. [b]My Prediction:[/b] Montgomery Catholic is the only team I see that can defeat Fyffe(sorry Piedmont). Montgomery Catholic wins this and cruises to the playoffs. Catholic wins 35-24. [b]2A: Leroy vs Sweet Water[/b] These two teams will most likely be in the title picture at the end of the season. I could even see either or both of these teams winning their respective classification. Sweet Water and Leroy both have a common opponent as they both defeated Thomasville in close games. This game is a battle of which is better 2A or 1A, and I am trilled to see it. [b]My Prediction:[/b] Leroy is a darkhouse to win the 2A title. Sweet Water is very good and I think they will make it to the semi finals. However Leroy wins this one and starts to climb the rankings. Leroy wins 14-8. [b]1A: Keith vs Southside Selma[/b] I bet you did not expect this one. You are probably wondering why I picked this game. Well, allow me to set the stage. Keith is honestly the biggest mystery in all classifications. No one knows how good they really are. They crushed the defending state champions 43-0. Keith is now turning heads and people are wondering "Where did they come from?" Keith's program has been around since 1966 and this is their hottest start in program history. They have yet to allow a singular point, thats insane to think about. On the otherside you have the Southside Selma Panthers. Who has really turned their program around after going 0-10 in 2018. This team could make noise in 3A, they have an explosive offensive that can keep up with a lot of teams. This team can upset some teams in November. Southside Selma will most likely come in 2nd in their region or 3rd at the lowest. They have Montgomery Academy in their region who handed them their only loss so far. [b]My Prediction: [/b] Keith is out to the best start of their program. Southside Selma will have a very good season and will make it past the first round at minimum. However I have Keith taking this one and continuing their quest to go undefeated and to continue to be the biggest surprise in the state. Keith wins, but gives up their first points of 2021. Keith wins 26-21. And that is it for this week! comment which games you are looking forward to this week and see y'all next thursday! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
