Wheat Kings/Raiders
3/23/2007 at 11:10 AM
Should be an interesting series.
The Raiders actually won 3 of the 8 games this season including 3 of 4 in PA. They did look pretty over-matched in the two games this month though. They still should not be under-estimated.
The key factors from where I sit:
- Brandon's injury situation. A few key players have been hurt/sick over the last few weeks. With 3 lines going this is a tough team to beat.
- PA's D vs Brandon's speed. In the games this month the Raider D was simply out-skated & out-worked by a very fast Wheat King team.
- New rule enforcement. Some officials have backed off slightly on enforcing the new rules as they're written. If Brandon is allowed to play their game and skate without hooks & holds, they will have a major advantage.
I will say Wheat Kings in 5.
What does everyone else think?
