Round 1: Greensboro Page @ Palisades

[PagePirates44]

Seems like an interesting match up. It looks like both teams are rated about the same on multiple ratings websites.

Any Charlotte guys know the story on Palisades this year? It looks like they have had quite a few close games. Page has had a few nail-biters as well. Page has had a much tougher schedule, when comparing the two. Thoughts?

Palisades is very strong defensively at all three levels. Their best player is a LB committed to East Carolina, Kendric Davis. Offensively they get it done by the sum of their parts more so than relying on just 1 or 2 main guys. This is only their 3rd year of existence but they have taken a big step this season.

Palisades plays in the SoMeck conference which is probably the #3 conference in Charlotte. But they had some good wins against Cuthbertson and Olympic which are two playoff teams. They have a very good coaching staff so they'll be ready for the challenge.

Palisades has won 7 games compared to Page's 3. So, undoubtedly they are the favorites. It's always interesting to see how playoff teams match up against each other on both sides of the ball. Sounds like this might be a defensive nail-biter type game.

I like Palisades by 3 in this one.

Third year since the school has opened.

I’m sorry, but no way should a 3-7 team make the playoffs.

I'm assuming you didn't read my posts in the other threads where I said the same thing, multiple times.

Not much chatter about this match up. This seems like one of the better match ups in the West bracket.
Looking at the numbers, this should be a pretty low scoring, closely contested, last gasp type of ball game.
