I’m usually not this bold in predicting, especially this deep in the playoffs and/or against Beech, but I’m going to say Springfield big. I think the first matchup with Beech woke Springfield up and they will score early and often.
Springfield 42
Beech 17
Sonny Moore has Springfield as a 1.75 point underdog to Beech. Add 2 points for home field advantage and that makes it a 3.75 point underdog. Anybody betting on this?
I expect Westmoreland to play this game to win. They do have something to prove since East Robertson supposedly beat Portland in a scrimmage earlier this year. They want East Robertson to know that it wasn’t a fluke that they beat them. Portland can’t get higher than 3rd in the Region, since they lost to Beech and Hendersonville and both of those teams have 3 region wins. Springfield fans should be rooting for Westmoreland in this one. That region may very well come down to tie breakers.
