I like Davenport's chances in this one but I do think they are slight underdogs in it. I just don't think their defense is enough. I sure hope I'm wrong! What do you all think?
DCTF is picking Davenport!

What Davenport did to Port Lavaca Calhoun impresses me a lot. Chapel Hill avenged an earlier blowout loss to Kilgore. I don't see Chapel Hill getting enough stops on Davenport to win.

What Davenport did to Port Lavaca Calhoun impresses me a lot. Chapel Hill avenged an earlier blowout loss to Kilgore. I don't see Chapel Hill getting enough stops on Davenport to win. I agree they did a heck of a job against PLC last week defensively, especially in the 2nd half. But Davenport is far from a defensive juggernaut this year. They've given up 345 points so far (24.6ppg). Chapel Hill is almost identical with 368 points allowed (26.2 ppg). The difference is the strength of schedule. CH's SOS on maxpreps is 25.5 where Davenport's is 11.7. That is a big time difference. CH's playoff path below with game scores and MP rank of the team Little Cypress Mauriceville 35-7 #38 El Campo 54-18 #27 Iowa Colony 42-21 #8 Kilgore 21-19 #3 Average PO opponent rank = #19 Davenport's playoff path below with game scores and MP rank of the team. Fredericksburg 62-14 #68 Beeville 63-28 #36 La Vernia 45-31 #16 PLC 55-20 #25 Avg PO opponent rank = #36 I want Davenport to win and think they can but how are they going to respond when they get hit in the mouth? And CH is going to hit them in the mouth multiple times. CH has already played and beaten 2 teams as good or better than Davenport in the playoffs. Davenport hasn't seen anything nearly as good as CH yet. Please, please prove me wrong Wolves but I see CH pulling away for a 2 score win.

I thought Chapel Hill was going to take Boerne to town last year, but they looked flat as a pancake when they played them at the Alamodome last year. Wouldn’t shock me if Davenport gets the W.

Boerne had a much, much better defense 2022 than Davenport 2023. That is what I'm afraid of. That and the fact that I believe CH's studs were young last year. I believe they brought a bunch of kids back from last year's semi-final team.

If Chapel Hill turns the ball over 4 times in this semifinal too, they may be sitting home again.

So who wins if the turnovers in the game are 0-0? Chapel Hill secondary gets after the ball, so I doubt we see a 0-0 turnover stat. I think the CH defense gets a few stops though in a clean game and gets the dub.

I've watched a little of them and think they their overall speed may be a problem for the Wolves.

I've watched a little of them and think they their overall speed may be a problem for the Wolves. Which is what I thought when we took our seats in the Alamodome last year too. They had it, but so did Boerne and they pressured the QB into bad throws to open receivers. These hill country kids are getting faster with better competition and resources. Davenport has more than an outside shot, just play sound defense and keep CH from getting the corners and going over the top.

Chapel Hill is loaded and running. Still have a lot of underclassmen starting too.
