;	Christ Central - In the semi finals they get a rematch against Entourage. CC destroyed them in the first meeting 20-0 but as I understand it, Entourage was missing some key players for that game. CC is one of the fastest teams in the league, especially at the QB position. They rely on their QB to scramble and make plays. You have to get pressure on him and not let him leak out of the pocket. Everyone wants to talk about their offense, but they also have one of the strongest defenses in the league. They have posted 3 shutouts this season and rarely allow a team to score more than one time per game. Playing on Field Turf should play right into what CC does best - outmatch opponents with speed. They should beat Entourage, but in a closer game than their earlier meeting. Then they will either face the Grayhounds or Magnums. A matchup with the Grayhounds would be a very exciting and high scoring championship game. Both teams matchup well and rely on speed. A matchup with the Magnums would be a rematch from earlier in the year when the Magnums were able to score a last second touchdown to get the tie 14-14. Entourage - Entourage looks to revenge their loss against CC from earlier in the year. Entourage was missing some key players that game and hope that with these players there, they can matchup better with CC. Entourage is sound on offense, but they shine best on defense. They are currently on a 5 game winning streak and hope to use their speed on the defensive line to stop CC`s QB. They will need to get pressure on the QB and force some mistakes. If they can pull off the upset in the first game they will look to face Grayhounds or Magnums in the Championship. They have not played the Grayhounds this season but the grayhounds have had some trouble when facing faster defensive lines. If they play the Magnums they will look to avenge an earlier 13-0 loss that could have gone either way. Grayhounds - This team has speed all over the field. Their offense can score points at will and their defensive line gives opposing quarterbacks fits. The key to their offense is at the quarterback position. They want to outrun you and combine that with some misdirection and laterals to try and get up the sidelines. They have one of the biggest and fastest defenses. They rely on getting pressure on the QB and forcing mistakes. They matchup with the Magnums for the first time and with their speed on defense they should be able to force the QB to make mistakes. Man for Man they just have more athletes than the Magnums and playing on Field Turf gives them even more of an advantage. The Magnums have given it a good run, but unfortunately I don`t see this game being close. Grayhounds should win and then will face either CC or Entourage. I see Grayhounds playing a close Championship game against CC, but the Grayhounds defense will find a way to contain the CC QB. Look for the Grayhounds to take it home tonight. Magnums - This team started off the season slow but a tie against CC in week 3 gave them some momentum as they proceeded to go on a 4 game winning streak. After a blowout loss to the Blazers, they regrouped and beat a good Renovators team twice in the last 3 games. Magnums rely on their QB to make plays. He has a good arm and decent speed but he has a tendancy to make mistakes when pressured. The magnums have an average defense but they don`t get enough pressure on the quarterback and their secondary has a tendancy to give up big plays. In order to win they will have to have big games from their offensive and defensive lines. If they pull off the upset over grayhounds then they will face a rematch game against either CC or Entourage. Should be some good games tonight and playing on astro turf adds another dimension. This should benefit the faster more athletic teams like Christ Central and Grayhounds.
