Guesses:
CA 2 Bexley 2
Bradley 0 Coffman 0 -- Coffman had a big win vs Marysville, but looking at Bradley's games - they haven't lost many and they haven't lost big, even to the #1 and #2 teams in the state. Their games are all close, but it looks like most of that is a result of their defense holding on and keeping them in the games, not because they are scoring a lot. Coffman tied a lot of the same teams that Bradley tied. I think the game will be close. Bradley could lose 0-1 maybe, but I'm banking on the tie.
Rosecrans 1 GH 3
Orange 4 New Albany 2 -- NA has had some big wins and some weird losses - so I'm going with Orange on this. Orange has stepped up their scoring and they have a good keeper. NA has a few injuries. I'm calling this one not as close as the score shows. Maybe Orange goes up big and swaps out some players, giving NA a chance to put a couple in.
Reynoldsburg 3 Newark 1
Pick North 2 Olentangy 3 -- I might be in the minority on this one, but I think that Olentangy has been under-rated. They had a rough start, but things have been really good lately for them. Pick North has talent, but Olentangy has the edge tomorrow.
Watterson 3 Berlin 1 -- game is closer than the score looks. I think Watterson puts 2 in late in the 2nd half to pull away with the win after playing tied most of the game. Berlin is better than the credit they are getting.
Kilbourne 0 DeSales 0 -- tough fought team but no one gets a goal
Gahanna 2 UA 2 -- I think this game is a physical battle for 80 minutes. Gahanna has some dangerous players who can score from anywhere. UA has some injuries, but players are returning. I also suspect there will be 2 yellow cards handed out before the evening is over. One might even be to a coach...

Final: Bradley 1, Coffman 1 Wow, any more info on the game, pk? Coffman can't keep tying local teams and keep a state ranking. |

I did well on the guesses this week:
Called a tie on Bradley/Coffman; Got the Olentangy/PN score exactly right; got the UA/Gahanna score exactly right; got the reynoldsburg/newark score exactly right; whiffed on the Orange game but not too far off on Grandview and Watterson...
I will call it a win for the evening even with 2 scores left to come in...

Coffman missed 2 penalty kicks in the game. The first one
in the 1st half was probably legit, but the pk taker went
wide and hit the left post. The second PK was a bad call by
the ref, but the shot taker sent it sailing way high over the
cross bar for a field goal so instant karma maybe!?

Sounds like it. 2 missed PKs by a top 10 in the state ranked team seems hard to believe. With Pick North's loss to Olentangy, Central Ohio teams may just be out of state rankings by tourney time. Too bad...it was nice to have a couple there.
