Mike Says: We had Carthage at #7 and Wylie at #8 in our pre-season polls. We thought we would see teams like Argyle, China Spring, Kennedale or Waco La Vega but Carthage and Wylie took care of several of those teams. This will be a great one. The Carthage Bulldogs will win it 31-27!!

Chris Says: I am going to be the outlier here. Yes, Carthage is tougher than nails, but I think think Abilene Wylie pulls out the win for their 1st title since 2004. Abilene Wylie by 3 in OT.

Glen Says: In the second game of west Texas vs East Texas.......... bEast Texas becomes a force. Not that they aren't already. Carthage by 3 in 2 over times.

Grant Says: Carthage by 3 or 4

Terry Says: Abilene Wylie by a possesion

Magic 8 Ball Says: Abilene Wylie
