Worthington Christian 0 Bexley 1 - Bexley with solid goal keeping and not much attack from either team in this one.
Licking Valley 0 v Granville 9 - not even as close feeling as the final score.
Buckeye Valley 1 v Jonathan Alder 2 - would really like to see Alder play Granville this year. Is that going to be a good match up?
Watkins Memorial 2 v New Albany 4 - NA with BK our and others quarantining I would guess this game is much closer than it would have been. Kickball Watkins comin at ya!
Worthington Kilbourne 1 v Olentangy Orange 4 - OO straight over powering WK. they grab a late goal to make it look closer than what it really was.
Grove City 0 v Upper Arlington 1 - UA scores on a set piece and holds down the fort. GC get a couple looks but nothing to threatening.
Fairbanks 0 v Grandview Heights 4 - GH just much better than FB.
Columbus Academy 3 v Wellington 2 - this is a back and forth game. I say CA scores in OT to win it. Drama!

Coffman 4 vs Darby 1 - Rocks are wayyyy to much for HD
Pick North 2 vs Davidson 1 - more attacking opportunities for PN and convert on 2/8 good looks.
Big Walnut 1 vs Olentangy 2 - Highly contested. BW not enough to get over the hump.
Desales 0 vs Liberty 6 - not a good or close game at all.
Watterson 4 vs Jerome 2 - closer than people think it will be.
This could be the upset of the tournament. I’m just not willing to actually predict it officially.

Only guessing on D1 and D2 as I really have no idea for D3. Inspired by Thrice gonna add a little flavor to each also!
Worthington Christian v Bexley - WC 1-0. No real intel on either team.
Licking Valley v Granville - Granville by as many as they want. Granville is always solid but this may be their best chance to bring a title back to central ohio.
Buckeye Valley v Jonathan Alder - JA 2-0, but JA will get smoked by Granville. JA always has a good record but to quote Gordon Gee only plays the Little Sisters of the Poor. JA lost 6-0 to Tecumseh for example who also hasn't played anyone of note.
Watkins Memorial v New Albany - NA 3-0, even without BK, don't think Watkins players can keep up. NA's title hopes have vanished though I'm not sure they can get any further than regional semis now.
Worthington Kilbourne v Olentangy Orange - Orange 3-1. WK no experience in these big tournament games after being near the bottom of the district for the last few years, while Orange is always near the top.
Grove City v Upper Arlington - GC 2-1, maybe in OT. GC coming off a nice win against Delaware, I think UA will underestimate them. GC is the type of team to just outwork their opponents.
Coffman vs Darby - Coffman 4-0, Coffman is just the best team in the central district at this point.
Pick North vs Davidson - PN 3-2, PN's least impressive squad in the last 5+ years (disregarding last year's embarrassing loss to Pick Central in tournament) is still enough to get by HD, but it's close.
Big Walnut vs Olentangy - Olentangy 3-0, BW just outgunned. Different story if BW had all their players who opted out of HS soccer this fall.
Desales vs Liberty - Liberty 4-0. Liberty is rolling and DeSales just doesn't have the quality or the coaching.
Watterson vs Jerome - BW 2-1 in OT/PKs. Jerome makes it interesting and I'd like them to win against nearly any other team, but BW just a bit too tough. If I'm Dempsey I'm definitely nervous about an upset though.
Edit: rereading these I sound kind of negative in a lot of the predictions... not intentional! Don't mean to offend, just typing what ran thru my head as I thought about each match.

Interesting on the predictions. My .02 I only have watched the OCC games this year.
WM at New Albany - New Albany will win by as much as they want to, with or without BK and 2-3 more starters. Well coached team, solid players.
WK at Orange - Orange 3-0. Orange is solid all over the field and in net. Too much to overcome when it counts.
Grove City vs Upper Arlington - Physical vs Skill; Tied earlier this year, UA was without starting Goalie. UA wins solidly in this game 2-0.
Coffman vs Darby - Which team will show up for each squad? Both play an aggressive defense attacking the ball with multiple players at a time. I think the advantage goes to Coffman in this game because they are better at that style. This could be a 5-0 game or a 1-0 game, but Coffman will win.
Pick North vs Davidson - North by 2 in this game. They are healthy and fast at all 10 field positions. Too much for Davidson, despite their talented Goalie play.
BW vs Olentangy - Olentangy 3-1. Skilled and fast; maybe the strongest Left Forward in all central Ohio in Benekie (spelling?)
Desales vs Liberty - Liberty is strong and solid; not flashy, but will win this game 3-0 Impressive teamwork
Watterson vs Jerome - I too think Jerome is going to play a solid game. Watterson though is the odds on favorite to win Central Ohio now. They are a well coached team. They have amazing speed on the sides and terrific mid play. I do not see them losing this game, although it is an intriguing game. BW 4 Jerome 2
I enjoyed reading all the input.
