8 Teams remain in the 2013 2AA playoffs
EPC from the 3
Hector from the 4
Des Ark & Carlisle from the 6
Junction City, Bearden, Rison and Strong from the 8

Could it be an all 8 semi's, not likely, your thoughts

amehr36

I def think 3 of the 8s are there.  Junction, Bearden, and Rison.  Not so sure of Strong.

Don't underestimate the dawgs, they get better and better in the playoffs.......... ;)

Carlisle will win by 3 scores

Strong is playing the one team other than Bearden and JC i could see making a run though.

It is fun watching people try to tackle Deron Ricks

Shhhh! We are trying to hide. But i can say this, after the tragic events that have happened in d.a. the last week, we may just have found our extra emotion to power us to another victory or two.

Im not sure about 3 scores but the Bison aren't gonna lay down to an 8-2A team. I can grant you this Rison will know that they are in a ballgame quickly!

Wasn't there a lot of talk last week (and basically every year) by newbs saying the 8AA was completely overrated and that its just JC and then several decent teams? .  and the 8 has 4of the 8 teams remaining . .i hope this will serve as a valuable lesson to all these newbs.  what am i saying?  They will do it again next year

Im thinking the ones overrated all year have been dierks and gurdon, the beardon and rison wins were over teams from a not so good conference. But the 8 is for real as usual.

I'm thinking you are wrong. Dierks WAS as good as anyone in the playoffs outside of JC. You take away both tailbacks and middle linebacker and that's a MAJOR blow to any AA team. The Outlaws struck bad luck and the injury bug at a bad time. We will never know but DA doesn't want any part of the healthe Dierks team that won 11 straight. Get ready to get your bitt handed to you next wek by Strong. It's going to happen.

I think the writing was on the wall for Dierks when they got pushed by a 5 seed in the first round. Seems like this team lost some focus and then the injuries last week put the nail in the coffin.

Actually im thinking we match up well with strong. Should be a good game. I also think you have it backwards dierks wants none of des arc. From what i hear, we mirror strong in alot of areas. We at des arc have heard those exact words from teams before you, " you dont want any of so and so team" well guess what we do want some. And we are still playing.

Although it does suck that yall had to lose without a couple players.

skydiver

Keep thinking that. When you are looking at #3,#4, and #5's butt running away from your guys you will say old Skydiver was right. Just a fair warning. Good luck.

Just because that happened to yall, doesnt mean it happens to us. We are big, strong and physical. Not to mention we have a little extra motivation and emotion to carry us on. And we are healthy.

I'm just trying to give you a friendly heads up pic. Strong is a good football team. After playing them and seeing you guys on film I honestly think DA is in trouble. Should be a good game but I feel like the speed factor edge definitely goes to Strong. Good luck next week to both teams.

Ok, thanks. But i can assure you, we know how good the 8 is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll go ahead and say it, the 8 and JC is overrated. There is NOTHING special about THIS years Junction team. They will lose this Friday, bank on it.

That bank got taken over by the Football Dragons Interested in Championships.

Pick,
I agree, Strong and Des arc very similar. I watched several games of Strong. No one ran inside the tackles consistently. I don't think we could have done that with our tailbacks. I was expecting us to need to throw to be sucessful against either of you.
They are tough up front. It will be a physical game for sure.

Good luck to both teams. It will be interesting!

I know the 8 has had 2 in it 3-4 times off the top of my head, bleu might know a more accurate count. I was wondering myself how many districts had 4 teams in the Quarters also??
