So what is the prediction on Valley and Minford? I saw on OSSCA that Valley is undefeated (1 tie with SW). Everything you see on Minford looks impressive with only Waverly being their Achilles heal - so why no chatter on this match-up?

Minford more deliberate attack, but speed from valley can kill. Speed puts a lot of pressure on defense. Slight error can be goal for opponent. Will take Minford 3-1

Valley is really clicking so far this year, winters on the way. Valley takes this one 2-0.

I haven't seen Valley since a preseason game. They really only had one attack and that was the through ball up the middle. Of course that seems like decades ago at this point. I have not watched Minford this season but know from last year that the Blackburn kid has great ball skills and is pretty quick as well. Who controls the midfield better?

With the exception of webster, valley hasn't realy been tested this year. Burg was missing thurmer for half the game against them. I would hafta give minford the edge in this one 3-1.

This is probably the game of the night! Valley's counter attacks vs Minford's balanced offense. Speedy game on the turf could equal lots of goals in this contest. These programs are also producing great young talent that is fun to watch. Can't pick a winner here

Valley plays no one. SW was the only some what worthy opponent they've played all year. I also find it funny how they canceled the Unioto game. I bet that won't get rescheduled. They receive a major reality check tonight. Minford 5 - Valley 1.

Wow, take it easy tigger. Valley is a great counter attack team and their schedule is lighter than other teams. This game will be closer than you think pal. Mudford 4 Indains 1

2-2 draw

If I understand correctly - both teams can score goals...So this is going to come down to who has the better defense/keeper? I know Minford lost a really strong keeper last season. Could that be the edge? You look at Burg a couple of years ago with the striker Lewis and Jarvis as the wing man, speed was the key weapon and it was enough...
Also 4-1 or 5-1 are both a pretty good whoppin'...

I was under the impression Unioto canceled so the kids could take the ACT. I remember Valley used to play your Tigers on the pitch and played them tough for several years. Was there even a tie mixed in there recently? I honestly don't know, but after these tribulations I would guess your tigers neglected to schedule the Indians again. After checking it out, you are right, Valleys schedule is weak....no it's terrible. Hopefully they can remedy that next year. Everyone should be looking for some tough out of conf games to prepare for tourneys and increase quality of play. Burg used to be the worst for scheduling walk over, stat padding games but kudos to them for changing that. Regardless of schedule, Winters is prob POY with an obscene amount of goals.

I'm calling for the biggest upset in both SOC's all year. Valley 2 (Winters with both)- Minford 1 (cheap hand ball pk).

Im sayin valley 4, and minford 1 (but im talkin about cards). Valley players play out of control and commits unnecessary fouls

I think minford will win this one

agreed very chippy play from the indians. especially from thier defense. this will be a close one but Minford will have the upper hand.

14-12 minford i have a feeling valley misses the field goal to win the game

Valley plays hard and everyone cries foul. I know one player on the team that has taken out a couple players so far. If it was so bad he wouldn't be playing he would get carded for it. No replacement refs out there tonight. Changing my first prediction Indians score 4, Minford 2 pks. Indians to much for Minford.

Turf or grass. Weather will make differenceif on grass.
