What a match up!!! Piketon has won the last 5 meetings between the two teams, three times last year(twice in the season and once in the sectional finals)and Twice this year. Can Piketon make it six in a row?

After watching both these teams on Sunday I feel this a a great matchup Westfall is a scrappy bunch but I don't think they can matchup with Piketons size I'll take Piketon by 10 77 67

If Westfall can make it an up and down game and not try to make it a half court game they can win. If it becomes a half court game chances are smaller for victory. Westfall has enough size to matchup but they need to use their strength and that is speed. Gibson needs to be more agressive than he was in the game at westfall. I would press Piketon from the time they get off the bus. Teams that play have lost 2 times in that season usually win the third. Westfall has to be the more aggressive team this week and play with house money because they are supposed to lose (from the experts). I think it is great that three teams from the league made it this far. I will be there GO MUSTANGS!!!

Piketon loves to play the up and down game, Legg loves to get the ball with Brabson and Smith on both sides of him.When Piketon is running they are at there best.

Westfall by 1...

I'm taking Piketon in an overtime thriller...

It's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season, especially the way Westfall and Gibson are playing right now. Piketon beat Westfall by 20+ both times this year if I remember correctly. Westfall will have a hard time against the 1-2-2 zone of the Streaks, just like in the previous 2 games. But look for this one to be closer then the last 2. I'm still gonna have to go with my Streaks tho.....

Piketon 68
Westfall 60

I agree that it's hard for Piketon to beat the Mustangs 3 times in a row. The way the Mustangs and Gibson is playing right the now it's going to be hard to beat them. Good luck to both team's!

I predict Piketon wins 53-40

What a shame these 2 teams are meeting now but thats the way it goes. Would have preferred Westfall got a shot at NA. I think it would have been a better matchup for them.
Westfall seems to be peaking at the right time and the Gibson kid is playing very well, how he goes is how westfall will go. And this isnt Peake or Valley they are playing this time so they need to bring their best game to get by Piketon, can they is the question?
Piketon will need to rebound better than they did against Ironton thats for sure and if they do its gonna be a long night for Westfall, just to many weapons.
Usually its tough to beat a team 3 times but when you have done it so convincingly like Piketon did that has to be a bigtime advantage for the redstreaks.
Have enjoyed watching both teams play and good luck to both but i have to go with my neighbors here in Pike County on this one
Piketon 76- Westfall 65

My prediction

Westfall: 71
Piketon: 67

piketon by 20 78-58 and brabson dropping 30 plus lol i hope

I think this matchup will be much closer than the last 2. I think it will be a high scoring, fast paced game and Piketon having more depth could make a big difference on who wins.
