The Final: A Preview

This is the first time since the tournament format was adopted that Kettle Moraine and DSHA have met in the final. Both venerable teams battled back and forth for the State Championship from 2000 to 2004. In fact, KM is the only other team to win the state championship besides DSHA.

Is this KM's year again?

KM has seniors, alot of them. You win in high school sports with seniors. KM is driven and the new law interpretations have swung the game back in favor of possession teams to a degree.

DS: they have far more playoff experience, even if they have a younger squad. They are also much faster. Will they get enough ball? Earlier this season, DS scored four tries to one against KM. This is also the first year that DSHA enters a final without a perfect record. Are they better because of it, or more vulnerable?

Last year, the final ended 54-7.
Prediction: it could well be closer than that and KM has a chance. DSHA though, as defending-champions, remain the team to beat.

Consolation Rounds

The consolation rounds for the State Tournament continue play this weekend. The matches still carry significance as they affect ranking, conference alignment, and promotion/relegation between Division I and II for the 2011 conference season.

Of particular interest should be the Oak Creek v Menomonee Falls matchup. Falls was undefeated in Division II and proved competitive against Kettle Moraine last weekend. The winner secures Division I promotion.
