21.5 is quite a bit of points for HS football and South is well coached.The D2R7 spreads seem out of whack to me. Id make Massillon and Canal much bigger favorites and drop the Lake/Big Walnut line to maybe -7.5.
Springboro, Beavercreek, Kettering Fairmount, Ponitz Tech, and West Carrollton all had records under 500. Not saying Miamisburg can't play, they are a talented team but saying they have played a GREAT opponent every week just isn't true.21.5 is quite a bit of points for HS football and South is well coached.
I'm not sure who Canal has really beaten to merit a double digit spread.
Uniontown Lake is legit, Big Walnut snuck in late and beat a City League team last week...could be a long night.
As far as OHS\Miamisburg....Olentangy has the rougher draw in playoffs as a 1 seed...Miamisburg can play, went through same travel last week up to Delaware..don't think they will be phased by doing it again. Olentangy hasn't had a great opponent for a while, Miamisburg played one every week
I agree with you that Beavercreek, Ponitz, and West Carrollton are definitely not great opponents. Springboro and Fairmont are pretty good despite their 2-8 and 4-6 records. The GWOC is very hard to figure out. Week 9 Springboro goes to Wayne and puts a running clock on them, then the following week Boro gets beat by Burg who lost to Wayne this year. Same goes with Fairmont. They beat Springfield this year, then gets beat by Miamisburg who lost to Springfield. Also, Wayne in week 9 had the running clock put on them by Boro, proceeds to beat the league champs (Centerville) in week 10. Is definitely a head scratcher kind of league. Some really good teams just beating up on each other. Iโm looking forward to another Friday Night Lights. Iโm hoping for a fun, clean, and injury free night for both teams. Good luck to the Braves and the Vikings. GO BURG!!Springboro, Beavercreek, Kettering Fairmount, Ponitz Tech, and West Carrollton all had records under 500.

Jackson -7.5 over Bloom is a rat line if Iโve ever seen one
