I respectfully disagree, both very fast and quick

2 hours ago, Pax said:Last week, I predicted Harmony would beat Jacksboro 35-14. I got it very wrong. By my metric, Jacksboro played their best game against Harmony and Harmony played their worst game. More accurately, either Jacksboro played their best game of the season - forcing Harmony into their worst, or vice versa. It's hard to say. In either case, Jacksboro did something they hadn't done all year in that game, and that is score. Specifically, score considerably more points than the defense they are facing normally allows. Coming into that game, Jacksboro had averaged 35.5 ppg, but against defenses that were normally allowing 29.5 ppg. They weren't taking much more from defenses than they normally give. This obviously changed in the Harmony game where Jacksboro put up 42 on a defense that gives up 8.3 ppg - and hearing about this game, it doesn't appear that there were a bunch of turnovers or fluke scores. Jacksboro outright, fair and square, ran it down Harmony's throat. If that doesn't wake New Diana up, I don't know what will.
New Diana had a similar trend-breaking game against Leonard. They had done something they hadn't done all year either and that is hold a team to significantly less than they are used to scoring. Again, going into that game against Leonard, New Diana was allowing 33.7 ppg to teams that average 30.2 ppg. They weren't doing ANYTHING to stop teams. Teams were getting what they normally get on average, and even more than that on average. Yet, they held a Leonard team averaging 34.6 ppg to just 8, and that 8 very well could have come during garbage time. If that doesn't wake Jacksboro up, I don't know what will.
That's what makes this one interesting to me. Which New Diana defense is going to show up? The one from last week, or the one from the rest of the year who gives teams whatever they want and more? Which Jacksboro offense is going to show up? The one from last week or the one from the rest of the year who scores marginally more than what teams usually give up anyway? Outside of last week, each team's strength is the other's Achilles' heel.
Here are some numbers and predictions :
Considering the stats from all games played, pre-district, district and playoffs, I've got Jacksboro with a slight edge, 39-33. If each team plays one of their best games, I've got Jacksboro in a toss-up, 34-32. If each team plays one of their worst, Jacksboro wins, 47-33. If we get Jacksboro's best game and New Diana's worst, Jacksboro takes it, 68-30. New Diana's best vs Jacksboro's worst, New Diana with the win, 50-20. These last two I consider the "range of possibilities" based on each team's best and worst games of the year so far.
Considering only district games, I get Jacksboro in a 43-35 win. Considering only playoff games (this is still a small sample size of two each), I get Jacksboro winning, 38-19. If each team plays like they did last week in their trend-breaking games, I get Jacksboro in a close one, 28-21. Last, since each team averages over 30 ppg, I like to see how each team does against opponents who average more than 30 ppg, and considering only these games, I get Jacksboro winning 44-27.
I think a variable that my numbers cannot account for is how Jacksboro's defense will handle New Diana's passing attack. That said, my final prediction on this one is going to be Jacksboro with a 42-28 win.
Leonard never crossed the 50 against Gunter. 70-0

Newton will be playing NOT to get beat
-
I do believe there will be big upsets in 3a II. Boling very underrated, and Childress chomping at the bit to play Canadien.

Gunter implemented the hawk (rugby) tackling a few years ago. Trying to keep concussions to a minimum. Has resulted in a completely different look on defense.
