Mike Says: Banquete comes in with one of their best teams in years. They are led by quarterback Ben Benavides who is dangerous passing and running. Their defense will need to step up big to stop the high flying Bobcats offense. They will feature LB Josh Riojas (100 tackles), DL Ricky Benavidez (8.5 sacks 50 tackles) and DB Manuel Garcia (3 INTs 45 tackles). The Refugio offense is averaging an amazing 66 points per game. They are led by wide receiver Lynx Hawthorne who was an all-state quarterback before coming to Refugio. The Bobcats are on a 50 game regular season winning streak. It will not end now. The BOBCATS win 49-14!!!

Chris Says: Okay, I am not seriously thinking that Banquete has a chance in this game. Refugio is just that good. Will this be a drubbing like the Bobcats have been handing everyone else - probably not. What is overlooked by a lot of folks is that Banquete has been drubbing the same teams nearly as much. I expect Refugio to show why they are so good and why we picked them to win it all - BOBCATS win 34-14!!!
