Central 21
Mercer 7

Central could light MC on fire, or this could be one of the most exciting games in the state. I would say craig yeast has this crew playing out of their minds and keep it close but central pulls it out by 10. But if i was to bet on one team in the future of 3A, i would bet on mercer with yeast if he stays.

Central will continue to roll as long as they can stay away from CAL. Even then I wouldn’t count them out.

Central and they have a good chance of being the state champs

I think this is a tale of two defenses. Mercer is a good team but has surrender plenty of points to some mid-lower level teams. Central's defense.... stout as usual. Give me Central 27-7

I predict Central will win but there might be some fireworks.
