The one that jumps out at me is Rocky River vs West Mecklenburg.
I'm with you 100 percent. Both squads have certain unknowns/concerns that this game might expose clarify and/or expose these unknowns/concerns. Right now, I'm giving West Meck a mild advantage.
@mrhonda, I like your picks and I appreciate you sharing them with us. There are only a few other games that I picked the other team (I picked Central Cabarrus over Hickory Ridge and Dudley over West Forsyth). I would not be surprised if Lake Norman defeated Cox Mill or if Hough defeated Butler (both games would be on my bucket list if I was in that area).
I agree with you 100 percent. There will be some games that my pick will lose by a score of 43-6. These things will happen and it's just part of the game.
I appreciate your thoughts and I am usually in agreement with you. When I'm not in agreement, you are usually right anyway...
