Waunakee +4.........3 units
Waunakee/Brookfield Central OVER 56...3 units
*Game Starts at 11 AM
**2 power programs take center stage with two undefeated schools locking horns...
Waunakee Warriors are 13-0 in the D2 Title game and have thrashed their way through the season with the closest game being 21 points behind.... Ranked #5 in WI, this is Waunakees 9th Title Game appearance... Won 5 State Crowns and from 2009-2011 they ran a 3-peat on the Title.... Also won D3 Title in 1999 & 2002....Last week they soundly beat a very good Green Bay Southwest 35-14.....QB Nate Carter has passed for 1,989 yards w/25 TDs... In the backfield is RB Javian Dayne (has rushed for 2,156 yards w/13 TDs on 261 carries) if the name rings a bell it's because Dad Ron Dayne made a name for himself at Camp Randall terrorizing Defenses in the Big 10 on his way to Heisman Trophy Honors.... Joining Dayne is L. O. Johnson, a Div 1 100 meter dash state Champ... On Defense, Warriors allowed just 48 points in 9 games..... Allowed only 6.76 ppg all season..
Enter Brookfield Central, also 13-0 and in their 4th Title Game appearance (finished runner-up in 1999, 2002, and 2006)...Last week they defeated Waukesha West 38-23......the Offense averages 38.8 ppg while only allows 7.46 ppg..... QB Drew Leszcynski has thrown for 2,114 yards w/28 TDs while carrying 99 times for 500 yards w/6 TDs, the Dual Threat Qb is widely recruited to play D1...... RB Rashad Lampkin has 86 carries for 593 yards w/18 TDs..... The Defense is stout and boasts Div 1 talent on both sides of the ball.... This team is Senior heavy and returned 16 starters from last years successful team
Usually I would be all over the Under, but I'm thinking this one could see some offense so I'll play the OVER and take the Warriors...
2pm Start
Kimberly +2........3 units
I was surprised to see the Papermakers (love this Mascot) getting a couple of points... While Sun Prairie is no joke, Kimberly sports a 69 game winning streak, (longest active streak in the Nation) and playing devils advocate just feels wrong, so why buck a streak for a program that just wins...... Papermakers defeated Appleton North last week 31-14.... QB Alec Rosner has amassed 1,984 yards passing w/24 TDs.... RB DJ Stewart has 272 carries for 1,853 yards w/24 TDs....
Sun Prairie is appearing in their 3rd Title Game, having captured a crown in 1995 and runner-up in 2012..... Last week's semifinals was won 26-21 to Muskego.... QB Jack Zander has thrown for 2,031 yards w/28 TDs...... RB Draven Peeples has 158 carries for 1,112 yards w/19 TDs..... The word on the street is this Zander kid is the real deal and has a host of long, quick Wide-outs to throw to.....
I may add a couple of units to the Under here, however, I can't buck the winning streak of Kimberly, and think they pull this one out too!
Gluck
