Here we are, the quarterfinal round of the playoffs, and there are a bunch of great games, as it should be at this point in the postseason. Here's our best guess at who will win this week's contests, and they were tough to pick. We've added a level of difficulty by trying to pick the games in order of final margin and numbered them one through four with number one the game we believe will be the closest and number four the one we think will have the largest margin of victory.
As always, good luck to all teams this postseason and congratulations on making the final eight in your class. Remember, let the players play, the coach's coach, and the officials officiate, and be a great fan of Kansas high school football.
