Mike Says : Gunter is my #3 team but they beat #2 Canadian last week to return to the championship game to defend their title. I have Newton #1 on my list. Gunter may be better then they were last year especially their defense but this Newton squad is very good. Not sure many passes will be thrown in this game. NEWTON wins their 4th overall championship in 6 tries.
Chris Says : Another tough contest. The regular season and even the playoffs up to now has been pretty easy to pick when either of these teams played. Now, I have a decision to make. Do I take my #1 from all season - Newton or my #3 Gunter? Normally, I would just stick with my rankings but neither team faced a 10-win team until December and it looks like Gunter handled that task better with much more convincing wins. AARGHH - this is hard. I have to go with my rankings.. NEWTON takes the win.
