District 1

[TresNorthwest]

Entering district play, it looks like an obvious 3-way race between Hinton, HMS, and Akron-Westfield. Here is the slate for week 5:

Akron-Westfield (3-1) at Hinton (4-0)
Gehlen Catholic (0-4) at MMCRU (0-3)
HMS (3-1) at South O'Brien (1-3)

What are everyone's predictions for the rest of the year? Should be an interesting race, but we will have some idea after the Hinton/AW game this week.

This district is awful

This district is awful

This district is way above average when compared to others bud. Just look at D8 for example

This district is awful

With the rationale that you used, I would assume you believe every district is awful!?

I will take Akron (too many weapons/offensive looks)
Gehlen Catholic
HMS

Lol this district is definitely not awful. But I think it’s pretty well a 2 team race between Hinton and Akron. HMS has the record but I just feel the other 2 teams are more talented. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just how I feel. Definitely will only get 1 team in though. Won’t be an easy out though, that’s for sure

HMS just doesn't have the size that Hinton and AW have. If they can find a way to overcome that, I'd put their skill players up against almost anyone in the state

I think any 3 of those teams can win this district. They all do some things well. Health will be a big concern for all of them in skill areas. I feel Akron causes many match up concerns with their spread/tempo offense. They just have so many different looks and players that get the ball in their hands.

Two weeks into district play and this is how the standings look:

South O'Brien, Paullina (2-0)
Akron-Westfield (1-1)
Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn (1-1)
Hinton (1-1)
Gehlen Catholic, LeMars (1-1)
MMCRU (0-2)

Game of week 7 will obviously be HMS @ Akron, as HMS has the 21-7 win over Hinton but Akron only lost to them by a point. South O'Brien is looking suddenly impressive but will have to see the last two weeks when they play Akron and Hinton. Seems like a below-average but very well-balanced district near the top.

Gehlen Catholic, LeMars at South O'Brien, Paullina
HMS at Akron-Westfield
MMCRU at Hinton

Hinton is far from healthy. Played running backs on the line Friday night due to the loss of 4 lineman in the last week. Its unfortunate but part of the game. Still any teams district at this point.

How the hell do you lose 4 starting lineman?!?! Wow that’s more than just bad luck ouch
