Here’s what the math says knowing it took me two years to pass Algebra 1, hence, the military before college. Sorry, meant to post last night but thought I'd wait til I had some scores. Kidding. Great games and hopefully we'll find a few streamed that don't want your money.

6A Central York over McDowell 22.50
Hard getting footing here with McDowell playing no one while CY vs playoff comp of Central Dauphin and York impressive. Still, McDowell has some players and speed. Three touchdowns?
6A SJP over Souderton 16.35
Same here, hard getting any traction with SJP’s schedule and Souderton only playing one high end team, Pennridge, who they romped? Surprised Spg-Ford win didn’t drag their number lower.

5A Pine Richland over Governor Mifflin 13.99
"New", I changed this per readjusting Exeter, Berks Catholic both “off” and idle week. Still feel it’s a close one per Mifflin explosiveness underrated. One dimension but a powerful one.
5A Upper Dublin over Cathedral 15.94 (oh well)
UD’s win over Rustin jacked this up maybe too high. Be fun jacking up the administrators who ruined their season. Cathedral won’t be favored whoever wins other bracket.

4A Jersey Shore over Lamp Stras 19.26
Weiser scoring 35 on LS dropped them down plus their soft schedule combined with Jersey beating Crestwood and games they link up with. Jersey is a good team!
4A TJ over Oil City 14.36
TJ’s wins over Plum, Aliquippa, narrow loss to McKeesport have their numbers soaring while Oil City plummeted with narrow win vs Upper Moreland.

3A Wyomissing over Danville 26.94
A little suspect of this one but Wyo is a brute on their A-Field where they have great value (points). Still, looks too big a spread. Ironmen are a solid squad! Montoursville rematch win was big.
3A Central Valley over Bedford 36.25
This gets down to District 7 number verses District 5 that are always low, lowest in state with District 9. Wpial vs 5 is always a rout.

2A Wilmington over Beaver Falls 8.68
Toss up. Wilmington has been playing great football for decades. Tight one as that entire area of Beaver, BF Quips etc play strong ball.
2A SCA over McDevitt 26.62
I think McDevitt can hang here but have to survive early onslaught where Tigers like to jump you early and overwhelm. Heart over head here saying GO LANCERS.

1A Bishop Guilfoyle over Steel High 15.68 (say it ain’t so!)
I think this is wrong although Marauders will be a load if allowed to hang with their tradition and recent history. Only slip was Richland in opener. Rollers schedule is WAY more (Middletown, Muncy, Old Forge) but gave up a lot of points, 92 to those three. Formula needs revised….or not? At Cottage Hill where Rollers are home and tough but Guilfoyle is a class act. Should be one of the better games of the weekend.
1A Jeannette over Reynolds 14.44
Big schedule dif with Jayhawks beating Springdale, Rochester and splitting with Clairton while Reynolds of D10 has had a power outage at the lower classes for some time excepting Farrell…Sharon at times.

It was a great game. I kept tinkering with the number, from 3.99 to 13. It had to be a good game if we know anything about football and I'm glad to see you guys finally play someone. Ha! Nothing like the Wpial vs District 3 in all the classes in my biased view.
