D6 23: Colonel Crawford (8-2) @ Monroe Central (9-1)

[EasternDspy]

Drew Pastuer has Monroe as a 2 point favorite.

[rickoshay]

Going with Steely Dan and his "Noles" in this one. And I'll let him select the point spread.

[EasternDspy]

This going to be one of the best first round games.

[selonmc]

How long of a drive is that? 4 hrs?

[fbnut]

Why do they always announce Crawford scores at burg game?

[Steely Dan]

How long of a drive is that? 4 hrs?

It is almost 3 hours, 172 miles. As for the spread in this one, 8 vs 9 games are almost always close. I will go with the home team by four.

[West Rowan Falcons]

What a great first-round game. Don't think these 2 have ever met in any sport.

I believe you’re correct.

Although, fun fact, it’s not the first time these two school districts will have locked horns on the field this year. Colonel Crawford hosted the Pilots in week 1.

[selonmc]

I've never heard of them so my guess is yes this is the first matchup of any kind. River almost beat them last year.

[raindelay]

I think this one is gonna be close. With the Noles having home field I’ll go with them

[VetteMan]

Monroe Central with the win over Colonel Crawford in this first round matchup.

[carbon_dated]

Will take whoever gets a 5th touchdown because both have explosive offenses.

As I was watching the rankings I thought there was a chance of MC coming to Reedsville, or vice versa. I was really hoping for that matchup just to watch Steely Dan and Thirtyonetrap go at each other all week . But alas, that didn’t happen. I’ll take Steely’s Seminoles in this one.

I didn't think it would happen, and the only way it would maybe happen is if Eastern lost to Southern, which we all knew wouldn't happen. Then Eastern gets a really tough draw with Centerburg. I wish the Eagles the best on Friday, and of course, I'm pulling for the Noles on Friday. I'll go with the "coaching and culture" in this matchup.

[selonmc]

I feel this was a good draw for MC. That absolutely doesn’t mean we will win, but it looks like we’re facing a mirror image of us at least on offense.

I’m thinking carbon dated is right on this one. Taking the Noles by 6

Have to go with the Seminoles. If Tucker gets the ball to Knowlton, Allen or his brother Cooper its over. Like carbon dated said.

[Jason Vorhees]

Colonel Crawford has been consistently good over the last decade or so and since 2019, has had at least 8 wins every year and has won some playoff games in that timeframe. Both teams can score. Colonel Crawford has played a much tougher schedule overall but, going to Woodsfield and winning is no easy feat. I think that MC wins but this is going to be a dogfight.

[Steely Dan]

Let's be honest here, playing at Monroe Memorial Park is tough, but with the playoff restrictions about what the home team can do, it is not so intimidating. But, it is still a tough place to play. For the visitors, enjoy the atmosphere, it doesn't get any better than what you are about to experience.

You going to be at the MC game, Steely?
I'm going to try and find a stream for it.

Nah, had a little mishap yesterday and can't ride in a car for very long, at least for a couple of days. So, I am going to stream the Barnesville vs. Burg game and keep tabs on this game as I am able to.
