(4) Westmont (7-4) at (1) Ligonier Valley (11-0)  Friday 7:00
(3) Bishop McCort (9-2) at (2) Bellwood-Antis  Saturday 7:00

Any thoughts, predictions, chatter ect.

Westmont is hard to figure this year especially from afar, but Ligonier Valley isn't.  The Rams win big.  Call it 42-7.

I think Bellwood's balance on offense and line play will be the difference maker in a squeaker against McCort 28-27.  This game, the AA championship game and the Johnstown/Clearfield game should prove to be the most competitive games in all of the D6 playoffs regardless of class.

Will Westmont's backs be available for this game?  

[Crimson's Ghost]

Some great games in the McCort-Bellwood series since McCort dropped to class A in 2008.

2008 McCort 24 Bellwood 20
2009 McCort 34 Bellwood 20  (D6 Championship)
2010 McCort 30 Bellwood 29
2011 Bellwood 11 McCort 10
2012 Bellwood 54 McCort

OK maybe exclude that clunker from 2012, but those other four games were great.

Regardless of whether or not westmonts backs play or not it won't matter. Liggys D is just too tough to run against. LV may score more points than westmont has yards on offense. LV the winner here 48-0

McCort and BA will be a close one throughout. I'm going to take McCort 32-30 in this one. Mostly because I want to see a McCort Liggy final.

I have not seen BA play, but I just don't see how they win this game. McCort has been tested way more times and put up similar scores against better teams. They only had one common opponent in Mount Union but I would be surprised if McCort doesn't win by 3 scores, whether it be 28-7 or 35-14. But we will find out soon enough.

Ligonier has too much talent on offense and a stout defense, Westmont can keep it close if they can grind clock like they did in the first half of the McCort game.

McCort and BA I just don't see this one being close at all

[Aiks19]

Ligonier wins by 5 touchdowns.
Bellwood needs to play their best game of the year to stay in this. They can't take plays off much less any series.Ill say 27-24 BA. Something tells me they play that " perfect " game

[deepcreek]

Interesting fact for the LV folks, Westmont has only trailed at half one time this season.  I doubt it will be 48-0 even though Westmont laid the egg this past weekend.   LV wins, but there could be some hand wringing at half-time.  28 - 7 sounds about right to me.   
McCort will blowout Bellwood this year.  42 - 14

I think BA wins this game.....just got a feeling Blue Devils 26-20
