I went 4-1 in my predictions… but I didn’t quite nail the scores.

Mountain View @ Springfield
My prediction – Mountain View by 14
Actual Score – Springfield 40, Mountain View 34
What I learned – Mountain View isn’t going to run the table this year, which I thought they might. Springfield clearly is one of the top teams in the state.

Ridgeview @ Ashland
My prediction – Ashland by 21
Actual Score – Ashland 16, Ridgeview 14
What I learned – I was way off on the score… Ridgeview is going to be tough in the IMC!

Summit @ The Dalles
My prediction – Summit by 49
Actual Score – Summit 55, The Dalles 14
What I learned – Pretty much what I expected. Summit got up 41-0 in the first half and then pulled the starters.

Redmond @ Hood River Valley
My prediction – Redmond by 14
Actual Score – Redmond 49, Hood River Valley 27
What I learned – I said 14, the Panthers won by 22. Redmond moves to 4-0 on the season, the only undefeated team in the IMC. They haven’t played the toughest schedule in the league, but a win is a win is a win and Redmond’s got four of them. They play Bend next week to open the IMC season, should be a great matchup!

Bend @ Pendleton
My prediction – Bend by 14
Actual Score – Bend 27, Pendleton 17
What I learned – I was pretty close on this one. Bend has won three in a row. The Lava Bears and Panthers both bring a lot of momentum into next week’s game.
