Butler vs. Mallard Creek, Memorial Stadium -- I've said it all season: I have yet to see a team that comes anywhere close to the talent of Butler. Mallard Creek may be the closest. Butler beat Mallard Creek 27-6 in the first game of the season this year at Memorial Stadium. Will we see a repeat? My pick: Butler.

Charlotte Catholic at Statesville - There's one key to stopping Charlotte Catholic: Stop Elijah Hood. No one has done that since Charlotte Country Day beat the Cougars earlier this year. From what I hear, Statesville as a fast, athletic defense and the Greyhounds beat a good South Point team last week. The Cougars haven't been to the state championship game since 2007. Is this the year they make it back?  My pick: Charlotte Catholic. (I'll be covering this game for the Observer tonight. Follow along on Twitter @CoreyInscoe.)
