ROUND 2  PREDICTIONS (favored team in ALL CAPS and highlighted)

Augusta  at Spring Hill

Spring Hill got a rare bye week in the playoffs thanks to Strong. Greg Smith’s Spring Hill Bears used 269 rushing yards to pace the game and starve Brinkley’s offense in the opening round. TJ Tipton accounted for 203 yards on the ground. Junior QB Jaxon Smith wore his arm out throwing 6 passes for 80 yards and a TD out of the Bears option attack. Augusta replaces Strong, who forfeited their entire season after self reporting an ineligible player last Friday. Augusta had to redistribute equipment and begin practice anew Monday.
