2020 Playoff Prediction Contest

Looks like they started off slow to start the season but have hit their stride now. What has been the difference for them from the beginning of the season to now?
Algona's record is 4-3. Their first 3 games (all 3 losses) were played against slightly above average teams. Their last 4 games (all wins) were against below average teams. ELC is above average and should handle them.

Hopefully my son's Underdog team will put in work and get that W. 💪💪💪💪🏈🏉

I haven't watched Spirit Lake or ELC since early in the year, until this wknd. ELC is a damn good football team. Seems like they have a lot of team speed, the QB is really athletic has a strong arm. The WR #4 wow he is fast. Catches just about everything thrown his way. He's going to be a handful, I was really impressed. This is going to be a hell of a game. When you go by Bcmoore its a pretty loaded pod so both of these games are going to be really close. Both CLGLR and WL will be on "upset alert". Tough to call it that when its the 1,3,4, and 7th ranked teams by BC. There isn't another pod that's even close, but whatever gotta beat the best to be the best. Good luck to you and your son Maizeandbluee. Be a nice night for football if the weather holds true. It'll be a fun to watch 2 good football teams lay it all out there.

Well number 9 on the team is elite too. Just saying. Only a sophomore. Seems like people don't want to give him his props. Elite wrestler too. Made it to state at 195 as a freshman.

All good MaizeandBlue. Your son looks like he competes with the same chip on his shoulder as his Dad has. That’s a good thing to have. 195 is a tough weight class for a freshman to qualify for. Curious, I see he’s listed at 215 for fb is he making the cut to 95 again this year?
 
from what i have heard CLGLR is the team to beat. people from the area have been talking this group up as their championship group. i dont think ELC has the horses to keep with them. its going to be between Waukon and CLGLR this year.

No. He is going to 220 this year. I've been trying to get him to do some Heavyweight this coming season. He got the skills to do it.

Oh yeah, When you are raised up in the environment I did hell yeah you going to have a chip on your shoulder. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I'm not saying you was born with one too. But yeah it's all good I don't care what people say up here. It's all fun and games up here to me. I'm not sweating it. At the end of the day it's just game we all love.

Really think 1 of the District 1 teams will lose just didn't want to pick my Lions. Top games will be CLGLR vs ELC be a dog fight can the Lions play sound defense tough task, Spirit Lake vs West Lyon if WL can play their ball control offense and score on their long possessions they probably win this game. Don't know much about West Marshall and Atlantic just went with a gut feeling on this one. I'll mention Tipton and Camanche seems like 2 scrappy teams guessing it'll be close game.

They got to have a great defense. They are undefeated. And they are heavy heavy favorites.

I can say without a doubt no one close to the football team is thinking they are heavy heavy favorites. CLGLR has been the underdog for quite a few years and they haven't forgot how to play that way. Man is it Friday yet?? You making the trip to Rocky Maizeandbluee?

I was going by the picks up here. And folks around the surrounding towns around Estherville. Shit Estherville been an underdog for decades on top of decades.Well not a very good program, I should say.Yep I'll be there. My two sons play.
 
Last minute upset. Williamsburg trying for the winning TD has it blocked and West Liberty runs it back for a TD. 20-14
 
Update after the 3rd round...I needed to get creative with some upsets but picked the wrong one...

Welp I kind of shit the bed on my predictions this week. Congrats to West Lyon on the win haven't watched the game yet but sure looks like a tried and true West Lyon win. Control the ball and play good defense.

The game in Rocky was a good game. All the weakness's I saw on tape of ELC played out tonight. Not all that stout up front and can be undisciplined at times. Lions controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball for most of the game. First half was a tight physical game. The 2nd half the boys up front got it done and just wore them out. Your kids a hell of a competitor MaizeandBluee just need to get some dudes in the weight room to block for him.

Sets up a hell of a rematch next week should be another fun one in Rocky.

Everything you just said I also knew before the game. He hasn't had no blocking since pee wee football. Just wondering why we kept running up the gut when my son had like 2 nice long runs going to the outside. But not shocked by that it done happen all season.Number 10 was my son too. He barely got the ball too. Yeah very undisciplined. Didn't fill the gaps. Very very out coached too. Good luck the rest of the way sorry-the game. Wasn't more competitive after the half.

Maybe rematch next year. But I'm not sure my boys will be playing for Estherville next year. Thinking about moving back down south. Or spirt lake. They seem like they develop players real well and I know they done sent guys D 1. Before.

LOL you are the perfect example of what is wrong with high school sports today. ELC had an outstanding season and you just shit all over them. Not even 24 hours after the finish of the game. There are kids who poured their heart and soul into football and you try to negate it immediately.

And a perfect example of why we should encourage our youth to focus on their academics and the English language.
