I believe Wahpteon will deploy a "prevent" style defense - keeping the big plays to a minimum. So, I think Grafton will not reach the 40's. Any way you slice it, it's going to be too difficult for Wahpeton to trade scores with Grafton. I call it 32-12, Grafton.

Last time these two played it was in basically a hurricane wind. That should have played into Wahpeton's hands, but Grafton still won. Wahpeton has the type of game that can be trouble for a team like Grafton. They run the ball straight up and try to take 5 yards at a crack. Ball control. I think Grafton wins, but Wahpeton will hold it close. 28-6 Grafton.

old#63 you are to used to grafton winning by 40. any game that you win by 3 scores doesnt equate to a close game. lol. i do agree that Wahp was the team i least wanted to see in the semi's. i still think Grafton wins and i think you are spot on with the score. blow out, 28-6.lol. JMHO

Point taken, wanderer.
I'll qualify my statement by saying Wahpeton will keep it close enough that Grafton will need to keep it's starters in the whole game. But, I agree I would have rather played Bott than play Wahp again.

I posted this in another thread but fits just as well here.
With the forecast on Friday and Saturday of chance of rain and/or snow, I think it will be a closer game than last time. Neither team has had to play in "classic" football weather so it should not be a deciding factor, but will still play a part in the outcome. In fair weather, I have Grafton by 36. With the pending weather, I have Grafton by 24. If Whapeton is going to have a chance they will need to control the clock for the whole game not just the first half. Very tough to run against one of best D lines in the state, tough to pass against one of the best D back sets in the state. Both teams will have to stay focused, keep the penalties to a minimum, don't give up the big plays,
Grafton outran and outpassed Whapeton significantly last time and it should be a repeat.
Grafton 32
Whapeton 8

Anybody know an injury report for Wahpeton? Is everybody pretty healthy going into this Saturday?
As far as I know all of Grafton's normal starters are healthy, other than LeClerc who has been out since the third game of the year. It's cold and flu season, so there are some sniffles, but other than that everybody is good to go.
