Going with all the home teams for me. It's a tossup for me with the MR and HS game. don't know enough about that region or teams. I think RTH will give North Prairie a pretty good fight, but North Prairie will pull it off by 2 scores.

Going With
Shiloh over Linton 26-12
Richland over Thompson 38-36
Hettinger over Mott Regent 40-28
North Prairie over RTH 26-20 wanted to go upset here but I think north prairie will find a way to close it out late.

Well, here goes nothing...

3#1 Shiloh Christian 36, 3#3 Linton/HMB 12 (rematches are tough, but Shiloh rolls again)
1#1 Richland 42, 2#1 Thompson 40 (shootout in Richland)
5#2 Mott-Regent 32, 5#1 Hettinger/Scranton 30 (rematches are always tough and Mott-Regent gets payback)
4#1 North Prairie 38, 5#4 Richardton-Taylor/Hebron 20 (North Prairie ends RTH's Cinderella run)

Looks like it should be a great quarterfinal round. Does anyone know where to get the times for the games? Are any key players injured or going to be out for any of these games? I think both of the west games will be close. RTH has really been gaining momentum as the season progressed, so we will see how they handle North Prairie. Hettinger-Scranton is another team that has improved as the season has gone on, so it will be interesting to see what they can do against Mott-Regent. I'm not very familiar with the East, but they look pretty solid having the top 3 remaining ranked teams left.

From NDHSAA:

Linton HMB/Shiloh: 2:00 central
Thompson/Richland: 1:30 central
Mott-Regent/Hettinger-Scranton: 1:30 mountain
RTH/North Prairie: 1:30 central

Quarterfinals - Saturday, October 31st
G17: R3 #2 Linton-HMB (9-1) @ R3 #1 (#4) Shiloh Christian (9-0)
Shiloh 22 - 12 Shiloh's depth wins it in the 4th quarter.
G18: R2 #1 (#1) Thompson (9-0) @ R1 #1 (#3) Richland (9-0)
Richland 28 - 18. Team speed vs. team speed. Turnovers are the difference.
G19: R5 #2 Mott-Regent (7-2) @ R5 #1 Hettinger-Scranton (7-2)
Hettinger-Scranton 32 - 22. Believe M-R has some injuries that will hurt them.
G20: R5 #4 Richardton-Taylor-Hebron (7-3) @ R4 #1 (#5) North Prairie (9-0)
North Prairie 36 - 16. North Prairie's size & depth on O & D line will allow them to control the clock.

I will take:
Shiloh over Linton by 18
Richland over Thompson by 6.
Mott-Regent to upset Hettinger-Scranton by 8.
North Prairie over R-T-H by 20.

I am going with the upset and picking Linton over Shiloh. Don't think it is much of an upset though. I was at the first game and Shiloh could not stop Linton. Linton beat themselves with turnovers. Shiloh isn't physical enough and doesn't play defense well enough to beat Linton.

I agree with bulldog. Shiloh is not a physical team compared to Linton. They were a much better team last year and their luck has run out this week.

Linton by 8
Thompson by 12
H-S by 20
North Prairie by 26

Linton by 1, decided on the last play.
Richland in a barn burner, 52-38
Mott_Regent by 2 pts
North Prairie by 3 td's

Linton by 6 ---18-12
Mott-Regent by 8 --32-24
Richland by 12 ---38-24
North Prairie by 14 --30-16

I see a Richland -NP final

If it is as windy as it is down here in the southwest everywhere I am going to pick the following winners today
Linton.... Shiloh can't win a game without their passing game
Heringer...to many good backs
Richland...speed kills
North prairie.. To big

I disagree. Shiloh has won at least 3 games with less than 50 yds. passing in each of those games. They only had 41 yds. passing against LLM. The wind will actually help Shiloh since Linton's passing game struggles with no wind so Shiloh will be able to really sell out for the run. Also Shiloh's qb has one of the strongest arms in any class and will still be able to make a lot of his throws.

I'm changing my prediction for this game only, Shiloh by 16.

Linton in a close game.
Richland by 3 or 4 td's
North Prairie by 30
H.S. Comfortably
