G1: W4 Legacy (6-3) @ E1 West Fargo (9-0)
West Fargo played perhaps their cleanest half of football last night. If they get on a roll early, they'll be tough to stop. Legacy had a big win against Bismarck earlier this year and that deserves some respect, but in the end, I think WF carries the day.

G2: E3 Fargo South (6-3) @ W2 Century (7-2)
Century has allowed over 20 points once this year, including a game against #1 and unbeaten WF. South put on quite a show against Davies but I don't think they can overcome the Patriot defense. Pats win this one.

G3: E4 GF Red River (4-4*) @ W1 Minot (7-2)
Red River has a really tough match and will have a hard time containing Minot's offense. Minot was the only team to score 20 on the Packers this year and have only gotten better. Minot pulls away in this one.

G4: W3 Bismarck (7-2) @ E2 WF Sheyenne (6-3)
I watched the second half of the Sheyenne game last night and if their lines show up like that, I think they can take down the Demons. Hayden Reynolds needs to show up and have a great game and I have no reason to believe he won't.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE PLAYERS AND COACHES NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!

From what I've heard I'm going to switch my predictions just a bit. I don't think West Fargo can beat Century twice, and Bismarck and Minot are two tough teams. With Minot they've played in the last two title games losing both times. Could the third time be the charm for Minot or will Bismarck play once again for the state title. Here's my predictions.

Century 21-20
Minot 24-21

Rematch of last yrs State Title Game

Bismarck Century Patriots repeat 24-20.

Minot over Bismarck 27-13
WF over Century 26-13

WF takes it home, defense wins championships and big games are won in the trenches.
