I was off on a few of the scores last week, but was 4-0 in my picks for the week. Let's see if I can carry that success over to Week 4.
Region 1-
Lisbon (3-0) vs. Central Cass (2-1)
This is looking like it could be the game of the week for Class A football. Lisbon has been playing well each and every week to roll to a 3-0 start. Central Cass only scored 7 points through the first two weeks, but their offense came alive last week posting a 39-0 shutout. This game could have a lot of meaning for both squads. Central Cass has already dropped a regional game to Kindred, a loss here would drastically hurt their chances at a home playoff game. This should be Lisbon's biggest test of the season to this point. I'm going to go with the home team as I think their playmakers will find a way to get to the end zone. Central Cass wins 28-14
Region 2-
Harvey-Wells County (2-1) @ Bottineau (2-1)
Both of these teams are 2-1 with both of their losses coming at the hands of Langdon who appears to be in the drivers seat in this region. Second place is still very important as it would include an all-important home playoff game. The team to win this match-up certainly would still have quite a bit of work to do, but would certainly control their own destiny in claiming that home playoff game. I'm going to take the home team. Bottineau wins 35-26.
Region 3-
Ray/Powers Lake (2-1) @ Stanley (1-2)
I'm not sure what to think about this region. I think Velva is among the very best teams in the state, but after that I think there's a big falloff. R/PL and Stanley could both potentially be playoff teams. That said, I think Ray/Powers lake wins this game on the road and puts themselves in good shape to reach the post-season. RPL wins 42-14
Region 4-
Killdeer (2-1) vs. Bowman County (3-0)
Killdeer is coming off of their first loss of the season while Bowman County survived a battle with Beulah last week. This could be a real physical game, but I'm going to go with the home team in this one. Bowman County wins 35-24
