Mt. Zion at JCA
Unfortunate for Mt. Zion to be bumped from 4A to 5A this year. Very good team that played a tough schedule and ran the table in the regular season. Most playoff points for 9-0 team I believe? I will take JCA by 10 but think MTZ could give them a game. 31-21
Kankakee at Mascoutah
I don’t know anything about Kankakee. Mascoutah could very well have the best opportunity for a MVC team to advance to the quarters. I’ll take Mascoutah in the upset with another late score for the win. 38-35
Rochester at Highland
Highland meets the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in a 2017 4A semifinal. Unfortunately for them I think Rochester proves to be too much again. Both teams very welled coached. Highland has not lost at home since 2015 so maybe that plays a part. If they want to compete in this game they will need to be clean in the turnover and penalty columns. They must also possess the ball and keep that Rochester offense on the sideline. Rochester by 17. 38-21
Triad at SHG
I could see Triad giving SHG some fits in this game with their style of play. If SHG can get up early on they will cruise. If Triad can control the time of possession and punch it in when getting to the red zone they could make a game of it. With that being said I think the CS8 shows the MVC up a little this weekend. SHG by 24 setting up a Leonardbowl quarterfinal. 45-21
