Fearless Dilettante Football Predictions - Wisconsin Playoff Opening Round Edition

Wisconsin high school football playoffs begin tomorrow, so we start picking early again this week. Okay, so Xavier got a tough hop in the seedings. But we don't give up hope. But as a failsafe, we do pick up Stinger's beloved Kimberly Papermakers so we someone to follow if the Hawks fall short.

Xavier Hawks 21, Wautoma Hornets 17. I have no reason to believe this will come to pass. But it's my blog. Go get 'em, Blue and White!

ACTUAL RESULT: WAUTOMA 47, XAVIER 46. A heartbreaker. Goes double-overtime, but the Hawks fall short. No shame in losing to the #1 seed, either.

Kimberly Papermakers 42, Green Bay Southwest Trojans 17. Kimberly is the defending state champion in Division 2 and they rolled through their conference without too much of a sweat. I don't see them sweating much tomorrow night.

ACTUAL RESULT: KIMBERLY 48, GBSW 13. I was in the neighborhood. Kimberly looks at Oshkosh North next.

More picks later this week!
