Boyle Co losing a RB with over 3000 yards last year is going to be a huge loss. Also lost their QB. Boyle Co will be good but Bell Co returns 90% of their team from last year. Bell returns there QB, leading tacklers, leading rusher, and leading WR. Also Bell having ALL PLAYOFF games at home this year will be a big positive.

All valid points. But Boyle had lost their starting QB last year as well. Come to think of it, Bell did too and had a fine season. :Thumbs:

It just goes to show that both teams reload.

Boyle returns I think 8 on the defensive side of the ball including Lamar Dawson. It should be a dandy again and until they play there's no real clear cut "we are better" argument.

FWIW Lone Oak has to be in this discussion and is overlooked by most of the eastern supporters. IF Bell defeats Boyle, it will not be an easy task to down Lone Oak in a final.
