Mike Says : I have Balmorhea #1 in my rankings and Strawn #2. To go along with that, Balmorhea is coming back to the championship game after losing in the big game last year. BALMORHEA wins it!! That will give them their first championship.

Chris Says : I have been driving the Balmorhea fan train all season. They went wire-to-wire from my preseason #1 to #1 in this title game. Strawn however is no slouch. I have them at #3 - and they just knocked off my #2 team Miford. The Bears of Balmorhea not only have the best swimming hole in the country, they will soon have their first ever state championship trophy. BALMORHEA wins it!
