Class 1A Season Outlook

1) Bears have had just two losing seasons since 1980.

2) "All the transfers" - West Branch has ZERO new kids om the squad that live outside the WB school district.

3) Take your narrative and shove it up your troll a$$. It's old hat.
Your injured QB played varsity football at Iowa City Liberty, and your running back recently played for Solon. And, you even got a new defensive back from Regina this season (who really transferred for wrestling, just like Q did from West Liberty). So, that's not quite being truthful. But, it's just the way things work now, it's ok for you to admit it.

Injured QB: lives in WB district.
Solon RB: lives in WB district. His late father played for Coach Pedersen, and graduates at WB.
New DB: has lived in the WB district his entire life.

"WB has ZERO new kids on the squad thst live outside of the WB school district": 100% factual. So you can admit that you are wrong. Make sure to read a comment clearly. It helps with context.

You're now blocked by me. I wish I would've stayed in hiding. It was much more enjoyable on this site when reading and not responding much.
 
Pine your not blocked by me. I still like reading your old man rants of saying the same thing over and over again. Reminds me of someone in the news….🤔
 
I'd like to take this moment to share that West Branch has a fantastic football website, lol. They put out some great content that I wish other HS football programs would do. Cool stuff.

I actually don't see Ogden making it in, for what it's worth.

1 v 4

OABCIG v Shenandoah
Emmetsburg v MVAOCAU
Dike-NH v EBF
Grundy vs AP
Wilton v Hudson
S-K v West Branch
Woodward v East Sac
Treynor v WC Valley

2 v 3

Ridgeview v Underwood
Manson-NW v Hinton
MFL v Alburnett
South Hardin v Pella Christian
Beckman v Sumner-Fred
Pleasantville v Regina
South Hamilton v Sioux Central
AHSTW v Grandview Christian
This actually looks close to what the boys in boone have done in the past years
 
Can a person see if they are blocked? Or do I just get no response when I post? Or are those things mutually exclusive?

It’s interesting to see some of the responses when the shoe is on the other foot. Several years ago similar aspersions(inaccurate at the time) were cast by many of these same posters about a school west of WB.
I don’t enjoy WB being down as it makes things more interesting when both teams are good.

And if I am blocked then like Jack Nicholson said ‘you can’t handle the truth’
Hoping for a WB rebound, is the coach in for the long haul or just as long as his kid is at Iowa?

the difference is this:

I provided 100% factual evidence that was shunned by you are your Regalite cronies. You "couldn't handle THE TRUTH", sir.

@WBBearsFollower provided 100% factual evidence that was, again, shunned by a Regal apologist (by the way, I feel that Pinehawk is not a Regal fan at all. I actually think he's from WB, acting as a Regal troll. Which is the reason I blocked him).

I can go to my grave knowing I've told the truth. Always have, Always will.

Good bye.
Good luck.

I'm done here.

You and I have talked about this many times.
You are a man of character. You have a passion for WB Sports and HS Sports that is unrivaled. Best wishes.

Painting with to broad of a brush here. I haven’t commented on that subject this year.
I asked what the perception of the new coach was and didn’t get an answer.
I am glad you have found the truth and you are sticking to it. Long ago it was the WB cronies and yourself that had the issues with the truth.
As I mentioned, interesting how the responses have changed when the stones are cast at you rather than by you.

Who in the heck is going to be the top 4 teams to get their own pod now? #3 Emmetsburg and #4 Wilton both lost.

Probably Sig-Keota at #3 and ????. Everyone pretty much has a loss now in district play except GC, DNH, SK, Treynor, Woodward-Granger and Manson NW??? WG and Manson NW weren't even in the top 10 and no way could catapult to top 5. What a mess now that Wilton and Emmetsburg lose in week 8...

  • West Branch at Sigourney/Keota SK

4th Place at 1st Place​

  • Ogden at Dike-New Hartford- DNH
  • Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont at Grundy Center- Grundy
  • Hudson at Manson Northwest Webster- Manson NW Webster (Hudson has a chance here)
  • Shenandoah at OABCIG- OABCIG
  • West Branch at Sigourney/Keota- SK
  • West Sioux at Treynor- Treynor
  • Aplington-Parkersburg at Wilton- Wilton
  • East Sac County at Woodward-Granger- Woodward Granger

3rd Place at 2nd Place​

  • Hinton at AHSTW- Hinton
  • Sumner-Fredericksburg at Beckman Catholic, Dyersville- Beckman (Toss Up Game for Me)
  • Grand View Christian at Emmetsburg- Emmetsburg
  • Alburnett at MFL MarMac- MFL MarMac (Another Close One)
  • Regina at Pleasantville- Regina
  • Underwood at Ridge View- Underwood (Close One)
  • Sioux Central at South Hamilton- South Hamilton (Close One)
  • Pella Christian at South Hardin- South Hardin
This is how I would rank the remaining teams also using the rankings the state sent out today. The 3 and 4 ranked teams will be on the road the first two rounds.

1. Grundy Center
2. DNH
3. Hinton
4. Regina
5. South Hardin
6. Wilton
7. Sigourney Keota
8. Treynor
9. OABCIG
10. Beckman
11. Woodward Granger
12. Manson NW Webster
13. Emmetsburg
14. South Hamilton
15. Underwood
16. MFL MarMac

My Pods Would Be

Grundy Center vs MFL Mar Mac
OABCIG vs Emmetsburg

DNH vs South Hamilton
Wilton vs Beckman

Hinton vs Manson NW Webster
Treynor vs Underwood

Regina vs Woodward Granger
South Hardin vs Sigourney Keota

I am going to say that these pairings were the hardest to do based on the rules the state has put out as well as the rankings, and having two #3 seeds be in the top 4. Honestly the districts were not very even this year. I also don't think I will predict the first round perfectly, so these pairings might not matter at all.

Btw, nobody here mentioned it, but some history was made last Friday night when Durant beat West Branch for the first time since 1986.

And, the ending was really something to see.

Pinehawk, thank you for being a loyal subscriber to the West Branch Football YouTube channel! Appreciate your loyalty to the West Branch Football Program. Once a Bear, always a Bear.

Oh, I don't subscribe...I just watch the entertaining clips. And, that one was perhaps an all-timer.
 
Oh right 😉…you just stumble upon them. Now get off the message board and get over to Midtown before you miss out on your senior citizen discount
Blame shared the link above. Sure is a lot of time all those old guys put in on that webpage. Now they'll need to print up all those playoff t-shirts with the 2-6 record on the back to wear down to the Jack & Jill grocery store in town.

Actually it’s a young guy I believe who runs it. Probably your grandsons age. Nothing wrong with small town business.
 

POD A​

West Branch at Grundy Center
Sumner-Fredericksburg at Manson Northwest Webster

POD B​

South Hamilton at Dike-New Hartford
Emmetsburg at South Hardin

POD C​

Hinton at OABCIG
Underwood at Treynor

POD D​

Regina, Iowa City at Woodward-Granger
MFL MarMac at Wilton
 
Who would get the home playoff game if both Regina and Wilton were to win?
Surely Regina, since they already have a head to head win over Wilton, have the same record, and also finished ranked higher than them?
Certainly earned it.
 
Regina would host as they won head to head.

Also I agree with the DNH and South Hardin pod being the toughest, the Grundy pod is the easiest, as it should be.
