Oregon 6A Point Spreads + Analysis (Week 7)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 West Linn @ #10 Tigard<strong> (WL -41)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Lions are a clear cut #1 and left no doubt the last two weeks, beating Lake Oswego and Tualatin by a combined score of 86-14. Tigard got thumped by a decent Lakeridge team last Friday and have some work to do. This will likely be over early. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barlow @ #2 Central Catholic <strong>(CC -39)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>It will be another 5 weeks or so before Central faces any type of competition. The Rams are one of the top teams in the West and could drop 60 on the Bruins. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Lake Oswego @ #4 Tualatin<strong> (LO -1)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>This should be one of Oregon's best games this season. Lake O had no business beating Tualatin last year but figured out a way behind Steve Coury and staff. The Lakers return a majority of the athletes from last year's team, and add standout Sophomore back [player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'] and Jr. WR [player_tooltip player_id='902383' first='Carson' last='Schwindt']. This will be a test for a loaded T-Wolves roster with a handful of D1 kids. The state's most versatile athlete [player_tooltip player_id='152355' first='AJ' last='Noland'] has done a good job at the QB spot, but it does take away from other areas positionally. It's anyone's ball game. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newberg @ #5 Sherwood<strong> (SHER -28.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>What Sherwood is doing is almost unheard of with five straight shutouts, against decent competition. Newberg is another team which isn't bad, almost beating Mountainside. The Bowmen have a legit shot of moving into that #3 or #4 spot with continued dominance. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#15 Sunset @ #6 Jesuit <strong>(JES -12)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>This should be interesting. The Crusaders played the toughest non-conference schedule in the NW and went 0-4. Sunset has some weapons led by Senior QB [player_tooltip player_id='858699' first='Drew' last='Nees'] and Metro League POY candidate [player_tooltip player_id='278374' first='Blake' last='Hurley']. That said as [player_tooltip player_id='152333' first='Lonnie' last='Burt'] is catching fire and could have a 300-yard night with 4+ TDs. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 Oregon City @ #8 Lakeridge <strong>(LAK -1.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Pacers played well last week against a decent Tigard team, with [player_tooltip player_id='152356' first='Joey' last='Olsen'] making a statement and catching 11 passes for 150+ yards. OC has played outstanding defense all year, losing a close one to #3 Lake O last week 20-12. If Jr. QB [player_tooltip player_id='406768' first='Ben' last='Schneider'] puts points on the board the Pioneers will have a good shot. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#14 North Medford @ #9 Sheldon<strong> (SHEL -10)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Both teams are playing good football, winning a combined 9 games in a row between the two of them. North will travel to Eugene with something to prove, playing a young Sheldon team. I will be interested to see if a very talented Black Tornado line can contain 6-5 225-pound rising D1 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='511342' first='Will' last='Haverland']. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roseburg @ #11 South Salem <strong>(SSAL -23.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Indians hung around with North Medford for most of last week's game and have a few guys who can play, but the Saxons and [player_tooltip player_id='597348' first='Athan' last='Palmateer'] continue to put up 50 per contest. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beaverton @ #12 Mountainside <strong>(MSIDE -35)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Mavericks got past Sunset 21-16 last week, setting up a Metro League title showdown with Jesuit. The Mountainside sophomores continue to thrive. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#13 Nelson @ David Douglas <strong>(NELS -47)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nelson is playing good ball behind Jr. QB [player_tooltip player_id='285852' first='Avirey' last='Durdahl'] and an experienced line. This should be over after the 1^st quarter or by half at the latest. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></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>McMinnville @ Glencoe  <strong>(McMINN -3) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gresham @ Clackamas<strong> (CLACK -18)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sprague @ North Salem <strong>(PICK EM)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grants Pass @ South Medford <strong> (SMED -13) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
