| A healthy Minor makes the difference! |
A 10-1 Deshler Tiger team will host the 2nd round of the playoffs Friday Night. Maybe more important than being at home is the fact that the services of Will Minor should be available making the offense that averaged nearly 46 ppg that much more lethal once again. Depth at RB was not a problem as Minor has more than capable substitutes but nothing can replace his senior experience. Advancing this far in the playoffs is commonplace for the Tigers, but with this many young and new faces on the team it is quite a feat. This team is good, but so is Alexandria. The Valley cubs are 8-3 but have had trouble stopping teams on defense. They score 38 ppg but are giving up over 31 ppg. Even in last weeks win they allowed 41 points as the offense lit the scoreboard for 55. The Tigers only allow 21 ppg. The valley cubs expect to win as well. They boast 3 state titles just like the Tigers. Might be a high scoring contest but expect the Tigers to do more of it. Advantage - Deshler Tigers by 3.

Muscle Shoals Trojans vs Cullman Bearcats
Wanna see some scoring? Make your way to Dennis Homan field Friday night and enjoy the fireworks. These two teams scored a combined 109 points in their round 1 wins. The Bearcats average 40 points but have allowed over 22 ppg. They are 8-3 on the year losing to 6A Huntsville, undefeated Hartselle, and Fort Payne. The Trojans will have their hands full. Muscle Shoals averages an equally high 46.7 ppg but the difference is on defensive side. The Trojans have allowed only 12 ppg. Although the Trojans haven't experienced the playoff success of Cullman - the expectations are high. They expect to advance. Neither team is satisfied with being in Round 2. Look for the home crowd to pull the home team through. if the defense plays as it did the first half of the season it might be easier - if not a battle. Advantage - Muscle Shoals Trojans by 6
