It's time for the hotly debated new Central Massachusetts Football Playoffs. Sadly although I'll be 50 yards away from a great doubleheader basketball tryouts will prevent me from seeing the games. I'm going to pick the entire bracket division by division so taunt me if II miss any. If the games are all played tonight, they'll be played in the snow and it doesn't get any better than that!
Division 1
(1) Shrewsbury 21 (4)Leominster 20
(2) Wachusett 24 (3) St. Johns 21
Championship: (1)Shrewsbury 27 (2) Wachusett 17
The bracket worked out strange here with Leominster and Wachusett getting home field advantage. My ties to Wachusett and history in its hardwood battles with St. Johns legally bind me to pick Wachusett. I think Shrewsbury got a horrible break having to play Leominster on the road but will squeak it out. I think Shrewsbury-St. Johns is the game people want to see but if the semifinals, play out as I picked them Shrewsbury wins the title.
Division 2
(1) Nashoba 24 (4) Holy Name 17
(3) Doherty 28 (2) Shepard Hill 27
Championship: (1) Nashoba 21 (3) Doherty 12
Holy Name just got into the bracket via power rating tiebreakers and their rushing attack will pose problems for Nashoba but Nashoba's been proving me wrong all year so I'm taking them to win the bracket. I do like Doherty to continue it's magical season by pulling off the home upset and seeing them putting up a good fight in the title game.
Division 3
(1) Auburn 31 (4) Hudson 13
(2)Groton-Dunstable 28 (3) Tantasqua 24
Championship: (1)Auburn 35 (2) GD 14
Auburn is in a class by itself in this division and should cruise through the bracket. Auburn not winning the title would be the biggest upset in the District.
Division 4
Northbridge 28 Milbury 24
Grafton 21 Lunenberg 20
Championship: Northbridge 27 Grafton 21
I think this is one of the most competitive brackets with Milbury, Northbridge and Grafton all strong enough to win the title. The bias from my High School days watching the dazzling Nothbridge offense against Burncoat makes me lean towards them in this great bracket.
Division 5
Tyngsboro 24 Leciester 21
West Boylston 28 Narragansett 14
Championship: West Boylston 28 Tyngsboro 18
Division 6
Littleton 17 Bay Path 10
Valley Tech 20 Assabet 17
Championship: Littleton 24 Valley Tech 21
Let's hope we get all the games in and have some great title games this weekend!
