I really believe that Casey was looking ahead to Corbin last year and I'm not taking anything away from Powell's win. As I said, they had a game plan and executed and they won, plain and simple. I also believe Casey was the overall better team last year and I was looking forward to what I thought would be a great regional championship matchup between Casey and Corbin. I watched the first game and was just so impressed that Casey played the way they did against Corbin for the majority of the game. The first 40 minutes of that game was probably the best 40 minutes of football I watched all season, but as Casey found out, 40 minutes isn't good enough to win against good teams.

This game is a toss up for me. Everybody knows what Powell's gonna do. They are going to hand it to their stud and he's going to get his, but can Casey stop Powell enough times to win? I don't know and I don't know what to expect from them on the other side of the ball. Some games they threw the ball 20+ times, other times they've passed 7 or 8 times and pound the rock. I'm going to pick Casey in a close one, but wouldn't be surprised if it goes the other way either.

Definitely a key point. You have to play the full game against good teams, and be able to be in the condition, and gutsy mind frame that I am going 100%, still at the 47:59 mark...
