Division 7 Semifinal Preview

Four teams remain in division 7, and all four have a great shot to win it all. In fact, 3/4 of these teams have made it to Ford Field in the past 2 seasons. It’s an ultra-competitive field similar to the one we have in division 1, so without further ado let’s check out the division 7 semifinal matchups. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Traverse City St. Francis vs Pewamo-Westphalia </span></strong> Both of these teams are undefeated, and they’ve cruised to this point. St. Francis is averaging 55.6PPG in this year’s playoffs, while Westphalia has averaged 38.3PPG. The bottom line for the high offensive numbers is that both teams were the obviously superior team in every matchup thus far. This is a crash course and it’s incredibly hard to predict this matchup. St. Francis was the runner-up in last year’s postseason, while Pewamo-Westphalia won the whole thing in 2019. <strong>Players to watch -</strong> <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10231906">Wyatt Nausadis</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10185342">Charlie Peterson</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12258108">Joshua Groves</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11409910">[player_tooltip player_id="30220" first="Tanner" last="Wirth"]</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11646650">Joshua VanAlstine</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11409922">Corey Schafer</a> <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lawton vs Jackson Lumen Christi </span></strong> Lawton has just earned their first-ever regional title, and they hope to get past an established Lumen Christi program. Like the teams above, these teams have faced little resistance up to this point. It’s another clash of the titans, and this should be an unforgettable matchup. These teams don’t have any common opponents, though it’s notable that these teams both have statistically similar defenses, though Lawton has scored nearly double of the total points Lumen Christi got throughout the season. <strong>Players to watch - </strong><a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14440012">Aiden O’Brien</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12564807">Jake Rueff</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12060955">Evan Stephayn</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11134622">Cole Simpson</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13166997">Devian Franklin</a>, <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13170347">Conor Smith</a>
