Springs Valley Blackhawks (8-3) vs Paoli Rams (6-4)
Corey
The Blackhawks have the better record and the better strength of schedule, so by the fact alone they should come out as the clear winners. But I think we may have a surprise in store from Paoli. Paoli has been in a slight funk lately, having trouble finding their stride. I think they find it tonight. These two schools didn’t get to play their football game this year, and there’s a lot of pent-up aggression because of it. Tonight, is going to be a rough, physical game between two physical schools. I’ve already ruffled up the Blackhawk’s Pep Club’s feathers, so they can stand to be upset a little longer. Paoli wins. 65-61.

Honestly, this is a tough one to call, but with over a week between games due to a postponement, I think Paoli is going to come out on the attack and get up early and hold on for the win at home. 45-37.

North Daviess (13-1) vs Barr-Reeve (9-6)

The Buggy Bowl! This one can go either way. Both teams are top tier, and if not one of these teams, then Loogootee will when the 1A title. I’m going with Barr-Reeve with that home court advantage and a huge game from Knepp. 46-41.
Chris
In one of the best rivalry games in the state, North Daviess travels to Montgomery to take on Barr Reeve. North Daviess comes in hot riding a 4-game winning streak, and I think that continues Saturday night as they go into Barr Reeve and come out with the win. North Daviess by 2 in an awesome game. 52-50.
