Toughest Bracket?
- Thread starter Kevin7216
- Start date
I am going to go with bracket B, just because Wapsie Valley is a very quality team and they're going against Garrigan who's been impressive all season. BGM and Edgewood is a matchup of 8-1 teams that are also quality teams. I think that Garrigan will move on to the semis, but it should be a fun and hard-nosed battle between them and WV in the first round.
I think the semis will feature: Hudson, Garrigan, WH, and AHSTW
West Hancock v Hudson
AHSTW, Avoca v Garrigan

Don’t know much about the area we’re playing. I’ve heard from some Alums that the football is way less physical down there. Not saying that it isn’t great football. But just what I was told. I foresee Garrigan, Hudson, West Hancock, and North Tama. It think these 4 teams are truly the best. They are all battle tested having played insanely hard schedules (North Tama did have an easy no district schedule but played very good teams in there own district) Avoca is a solid team I’m sure. But I think not being battle tested is going to be there downfall. There could possibly a single district state championship as well. Whether that’s Hudson Vs North Tama. Or Bishop Garrigan Vs. west Hancock. Now that’d be crazy. And if Wapsie can upset Garrigan. I honestly think 3 teams from 7 will be in the dome

Well wherever you got your info from is wrong lol. I can tell you wapsie is physical. They always have been ever since the southmayd era and it has not changed since foster took over
I was referring to Edgewood and BGM. Wapsie is not one of those teams lol. I guess Edgewood isn’t either really, but you get my point

We will see. Like I said , if its garrigan , that statement may well be true. But lets look at East Buch's schedule/ losses...
East Buchanan Community Schools @ Edgewood-Colesburg L0-33
Grundy Center High School@Grundy Center L 22-42
East Buchanan Community Schools @ North Tama L 6-7
East Buchananl@Wapsie Valley L18-21
East Buchanan @ Hudson L 20-42
To me this would imply that Ed-Co wont be in over their heads against any of the D7 teams. And EB might like their home cooking next year if they have much coming back?
That's a good comparison since they played 4 teams in the playoffs but EB was missing two starters on both sides for the EdCo and Grundy games by watching hudl and I think if you ask Alb you know in class A football you cant be missing starters especially in that district. What I think people have forgot is Hudson has been injured pretty much the first half of the season and I think the game with Grundy and EB the last two weeks is when they finally put their whole team on the field together. Hudson will be a very tough out. I think Hudson and Wapsie win in first round but not as confident in North Tama, dont get me wrong they have had a great season but I think they are the 3rd best team in the district and they should have been beat by EB as looking at quick stats they were dominated in that game but still found a way to win as good teams do. Newman will give them all they can handle. I think EdCo beats BGM but it will be close and I don't think BGM has the speed that EdCo will show with Rochford but a match up with Wapsie would be much different. BGM has playoff experience and EdCo does not could be a lot of nerves on the field. I like Hudson in the dome from this side of the state to win it all, just to many athletes.
You can compare all you want. On paper looks good I will admit. One thing I can say is East Buc always plays wapsie like a rivalry game. They always put their best foot forward. I dk why but they are always crazy jacked up. Also with saying that North Tama did the same thing vs wapsie this year.
I don’t know where you get you Info but the games that you listed saying East Buc played on the road is wrong. They played EdCo, North Tama, and Hudson at home. They only played Grundy and Wapsie on the road. So might need to check ur source
It was a copy/ paste from quikstats, came out a jumbled mess that I tried to clean up to look pretty. So you're pry more correct on home /away . But my point remains, that Ed-Co wont be overmatched when/ if they get a 2nd/ 3rd round game with D7 team.
