They came up at 2:04am, been looking at them since. By my count there are 5 rematches, my question is why???

HLP vs NF
Midland vs TV
Springville vs Bosco
Tripoli vs Central Elkader
WBM vs NK

Don't see the need for most of these. I think a few more miles and not even a lot, makes more sense than to have this many rematches. Lots of head scratching right now.

 

[Sadey2011]

What do you think Kakiyosata? Matched up with Janesville. Like this matchup better than last year versus Elkader 1st round? You guys came up and played hard in Elkader last year.

 

[Sadey2011]

The Terrel Grant Show be able to pull an upset?

 

[Sadey2011]

Another rematch is North Iowa vs GTRA so 6 rematches that I count...

 

[Kakiyosata]

You figure they would have tried their best to avoid rematches, but who knows what the fellas in Boone were thinking. I don't see much of a reason for a rematch if it was proven earlier in the season, with the exception of WBM being healthy.

The Janesville match up is interesting. It should be a good game! We didn't have a Week 9 game so Terrell and Co. should be healed up and ready to go. They had a good showing in Elkader last year but lost momentum when Fitzgerald had that kickoff return. Personally, I would have preferred a matchup with Elkader again or with Moravia. Nonetheless, it should be a good game against Janesville and Meskwaki will be ready to roll.

GT/RA vs North Iowa is a rematch as well , GT/RA won the first one 63 -24

 

[Kakiyosata]

I'd understand 1-2 rematches due to their criteria, but seriously, 6 out of 16 1st round games are rematches? I'm sure you could do something to prevent that from happening. Maybe they just want an early start to next year and the new system.

As well as a rematch of midland vs. Turkey valley. Turkey valley won the last contest by 6 in the final :19, looks to be some great match ups this Wednesday! Good luck to all the teams that qualified!!
