The season has come to a close and the playoffs are ready to begin in the 10-12 year-old division. The SAINTS finished the season undefeated and come into the first round firing on all cylinders in a matchup with the EAGLES. In the other first round matchup, the CARDINALS look to pull the upset against the PANTHERS and their explosive offense.

The SAINTS enter their first matchup as heavy favorites after finishing the regular season perfect and frequently doing so in blowout fashion.  They found a rarely seen combination of high-octane offense and lockdown defense that leaves little room for error for any opponent.  The EAGLES will have to pull out all the stops if they hope to advance in this matchup.

In the other matchup, the PANTHERS will look to solidify their spot in the championship and put their inconsistent play behind them.  Their high-flying offense can be unbeatable at times but go dormant in the blink of an eye. If they can keep the offense rolling, they will be tough to beat. The CARDINALS look to keep their defensive lapses to a minimum as they try to smother the PANTHERS and pull the upset.

The matchups are set and the lines are drawn. All that’s left is for these four teams to show what they’ve learned this year and punch their tickets the championship games.  The fireworks are sure to go off this weekend with seasons on the line.
