Oregon 6A Point Spreads + Analysis (Week 6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> #4 Tualatin @ #1 West Linn  <strong>(WL -22)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>I'm a big backer of the Tualatin football program but I don't think anyone in the NW can compete with the Lions other than Central Catholic. [player_tooltip player_id='152339' first='Jayden' last='Fortier'] has been playing out of his mind, and [player_tooltip player_id='152355' first='AJ' last='Noland'] did an outstanding job at the QB spot last week. Even with that I just don't see it being competitive. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> #2 Central Catholic @ Gresham <strong>(CC -47)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Over after the 1^st quarter. That said [player_tooltip player_id='1091611' first='Tucker' last='Snow'] from Gresham can play. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> #3 Lake Oswego @ #7 Oregon City<strong> (LO -11) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LO's 49-14 loss to West Linn last week is more about the Lions dominance than anything else. The Lakers have played well all year behind a solid group of underclassmen on both sides of the ball. OC made a statement last week and backed up that #7 ranking, with the come from behind 28-24 win at Tigard. If the Pioneers D shows up and controls junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='285866' first='Liam' last='Davis'] and top sophomore back [player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'], it could be close. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 Sherwood @ McMinnville <strong>(SHER -16.5) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>I'm not sure what the record is for consecutive shutouts but posting four in a row is an unreal accomplishment for the Bowmen D. McMiinnville has been playing good ball, dropping a close one to a decent Newberg program 27-20 last week. Look for Jr. QB [player_tooltip player_id='406769' first='Kane' last='Sullivan'] to help the Grizzlies put some points on the board. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Westview @ #6 Jesuit<strong> (JES -25)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Wildcats haven't won a game but have been respectable. After a brutal non league schedule where Jesuit went 0-4, I would expect Jesuit to try and make a statement during the Metro League season. Losing Jr. WR [player_tooltip player_id='285867' first='Grant' last='Valley'] to injury is a tough blow. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#8 Lakeridge @ #9 Tigard  <strong>(LAK -2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>There will likely be no love lost here. Both teams are very similar from a talent standpoint. I will be interested to see what all everything back [player_tooltip player_id='284119' first='Ansu' last='Sanoe'] does against TRL competition, looking good against Tualatin last week. The Tigers have one of the best venues in the state and you can expect it to be loud tonight. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> #10 Sheldon @ South Medford  <strong>(SHELD -15.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Irish have played good ball the last few weeks and South has not looked good after an impressive start, barely beating a sub-par Sprague team last week. Look for Junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='285876' first='Kameron' last='Rague'] to play an influential role the rest of the year if the Panthers are going to compete against the likes of Sheldon and North Medford. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> #11 South Salem @ McNary <strong>(SSAL -38)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Saxons were dealt a brutal blow with one of the state's top two-way threats [player_tooltip player_id='130391' first='Parker' last='Williams'] going down for the year. That being said, South plays one of the weakest schedules in the state and will be 9-0 heading into the playoffs.</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Barlow @ #12 Nelson<strong> (NELS -16)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nelson was super impressive in their 33-13 win over a decent Clackamas team last week. This will be another rivalry type game where anything can happen. That being said, the Bruins lost 18-7 to Clack a few weeks back, with the loss of 2x 1^st team all Mt Hood lineman [player_tooltip player_id='238631' first='Dylan' last='Howell'] beginning to show it's effects. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 Mountainside @ #15 Sunset <strong>PICK EM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Definitely one of the more interesting games statewide. Sunset has showed flashes of being a really good football team, with some of the young guys stepping up, and [player_tooltip player_id='278374' first='Blake' last='Hurley'] looking like the Metro League POY. This will be a statement game for Keanon Lowe and the Mavericks if they want to be regarded as a top 10 program this year. The Mountainside underclassmen are some of the best in Oregon. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 North Medford @ Roseburg <strong>(NMED -29)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>North has been playing good football, looking like a completely different team than the one who lost to Tigard 29-7 to start the year. Even with Dave Heuberger, one of Oregon's best coaches, it's been tough for the Indians. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OTHER GAMES</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liberty @ Newberg  <strong>(NEW -4.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Franklin @ Grant  <strong>(GRA -3.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>North Salem @ Grants Pass  <strong>(NSAL -20)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clackamas @ Sandy <strong>(SANDY -1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sprague @ West Salem <strong>(WSAL -9.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
