Mike Says: I am pulling for Follett in this one since they have not won a title game since 1974. Strawn will be too strong though and will win their 4th Championship since 2003 64-20.
Chris Says: Strawn took care of business last year when they manhandled Balmorhea. I picked that game wrong and learned my lesson. It took a state title to get me on their bandwagon but I'm not getting off now. Give me Strawn to repeat.
