Mike Says : This is going to be a great game. Manvel has been #1 all season long. Highland Park has been taking care of business and looks primed to win back to back state titles. MANVEL is too fast though and they win their first state championship.
Chris Says : This is another one of those really tough matchups. I think Manvel has more talent across the board but have been prone to hurting themselves. If they play without errors, the Mavericks should take it. If they have any cracks however, Highland Park is built to capitalize. QB John Stephen Jones has matured as a player since their title win last year and at times has put his team on his back and willed them to a win. I've had Manvel ranked #1 all season but frankly, I am afraid to pick against Jones playing at Grandpa's field. I will probably regret it but I have to go with HIGHLAND PARK.
