State Championship Picks

Here's our best guess at the winners of this weekend’s state championship football playoff games, and we took it one step further by trying to guess the games in order of closest margin to widest as indicated by the number beside each pick. Just a note, the higher number doesn’t mean we’re necessarily anticipating a blowout. Number one may be a three point game and number nine may be a three touchdown spread, we just believe the game marked number one will be the closest and nine will end with the widest margin of victory, and we’ll undoubtedly get a few wrong. As always, good luck to all teams this postseason and congratulations on ending the season as one of the last two teams still standing 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.
