Division 7 Round 4 Overview: Pewamo-Westphalia continued their roll as they're the defending champions, Madison continues to show heart, and we have no clue what to make of this Saugatuck team.

Last weeks predictions: 3-1 (10-2 Overall)

Semi-Final #1:


Pewamo-Westphalia shutout a strong Laker team 34-0 on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates defense has played lights out and with a balanced offensive attack, look for the P-W to keep it rolling. Lake City is one of the top offensive teams in the state, but the weather in recent weeks have slowed them down. It doesn't help that this meeting coincides with Pewamo-Westphalia up next.


Prediction: Pewamo-Westphalia 35-17


Explanation: Pewamo-Westphalia has the talent and experience to limit what Lake City can do offensively and control the ball when they're on offense.

Pre-season Rankings: Neither was in the top 25


Semi-Final #2:


Madison continues to grind out impressive wins. The Eagles despite some impressive stats have been in some tough games this year and it's tough to say they're padding the stats. Austin Brown broke a school record with 39 total touchdowns this year. It's clear the past few weeks that this isn't the same Saugatuck team as in the past as they cannot seem to score much points but their defense is playing incredible. We're still shocked they held Cassopolis to 6 points, as they won 7-6 this past week.


Prediction: Madison 24-7


Explanation: Saugatuck has been flirting with disaster and relying on their defense. Madison has the ability and talent to break through this tough defense.


Pre-season Rankings: Neither was in the top 25
