I think this is an example of why we can't just hand things to the top seeds...  If the 5-4 4th seed from the East can play beat the #1 seed I think anyones got a chance. Oak Grove better be ready next weekend because Trinity will be up for it... People forget that Trinity was in a very similar situation last year and ended up playing in the State Title game.

Watford City is another low seeded team that needs to be worried about... they only lost to Minot Ryan (The team that gets the most love on this board) 13-9 and basically handed the game away with a couple of turnovers.

Its the playoffs, anything can happen... this time of year it comes down to coaching, and Randy Gordon and Fred Fridley will definitely have their kids ready!

I am not saying that this is not true, because it is true, but honestly why does everyone always say that "they handed the game over to them" and stuff like that... it is football and that is what happens. I am not just saying it as a player but you hear it all the time about"how those few things changed the game" well if you dont want that to happen then dont let it happen...

Now with that said, Yes, Watford is a very good football team and they should not be taken lightly because as you all know they are the defending state champs. i think that this year every single playoff game will be a good game, because there really isnt that extremely mediocre team sneeking into the playoffs.

I agree with you but I'll take it a step further... I don't think there is a truly dominate team this year like Trinity in 2000-2001 or Cavalier in 2002-2005... Parity is great and it makes for much more exciting football...

although you do have to miss watching players like kyle steffes on trinitys 00-01 team or matt anderson going through cavalier
