Ballboy23 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Bells (4-0) vs Gunter (5-0) this Friday. Bells has played a rather lackluster schedule but is arguably the only team in the district with a shot at staying close with Gunter. Gunter won last year by 10 points. I don't think Bells is as good as Brock who Gunter beat 35-12 a couple of weeks ago. I'm picking the Tigers by at least 24 points. This is the WFAA game of the week also.

I think Bell's game plan will be run the ball, move the chains, and shorten the game (big surprise here). Gunter will want to score early and often with a balanced (for Gunter) attack. Bells can come from behind, but we hope to make them pass - something they only do in practice for the most part. Gunter by 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 First district game for Gunter and Bells - and it looks to be the toughest district matchup for both teams. It's hard to judge the strength of opponents at this point since they are spread over different divisions and classes. Going by Pigskin ratings, the strength of schedule up to this point between Gunter and Bells seems to be pretty similar. Gunter comes in averaging 49.8 ppg against defenses that give up 36.1 ppg on average. So, Gunter is scoring 13.7 more than their opponents allow on average. Gunter's opponents are averaging 27.9 ppg, and Gunter is holding them to 10.0 ppg. Gunter holding opponents to 17.9 fewer points than they average. Bells averages 44.0 ppg against defenses that allow 31.8 a game, so they are scoring 12.2 more points than their opponents allow on average. Bells opponents score 27.8 per game, and Bells holds those opponents to 20.5 a game, or 7.3 fewer points. Combine these "swing" numbers, and you get a total swing of +31.6 for Gunter, +19.5 for Bells. Gunter comes in ranked #2 in 3A D2 while Bells is #10 - this also according to Pigskin ratings. I get a pretty good game with Gunter coming out on top, 38-24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I meant that Gunter will continue to win at least until the State Semifinal, not Regional Final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. I was wondering if there were a dark horse I was unaware of. Either Bells or Holliday would make for a good game, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
