I get what you are saying about Thomas Dale's offense but their defense is tough.

Manchester's offense is so high octane though and I feel like both the offense and defense have gotten better as the season has progressed.

I thought Manchester would be a contender for the 6A title this year before the season even began. So I've got to stick with that but I would not be at all surprised if Dale wins this game. Whoever wins, I expect it to be close.

I agree with everything you said except...,! I wasn't convinced pre-season that Manchester would make the semi-final game. But, I thought that TD would make the title game. Now, I've flip flopped. I think Manchester wins this week and loses next week. Neither are what I thought they would be.

And I remind everybody, if I had even a modicum of an idea of who would win, I wouldn't be wrong.

DP,

Manchester could possible win the title. They might be the only team that can score with Freedom PW..
OS is a little down and reeling as of late.
Westfield is surging like usual and colonial Forge is the wild card in their own region.

Another sleeper... if an undefeated can be a sleeper is Landstown.... if they can beat Ocean Lakes again in their own region???
