Final Four: Independence, Frankfort, Roane, Bluefield. Roane has a stout running attack, but it’s not enough to contain all of the options for bluefield throughout their multiple fronted spread offense while Frankfort makes adjustments for Independence, but Indy still edges them with their ability to throw in a one score game. Championship game: Independence vs Bluefield
Drew Taylor I think sissonville will win the roane game. They looking tuff
So it's possible mingo central could play Logan for the title, I'm all in for that
