Round 2 Montgomery-area football playoff games, and our predictions

There were the expected lopsided wins in Round 1 of the AHSAA football playoffs in the Montgomery area like Carver-Montgomery and Montgomery Academy handling business against their opponents by margins of 22 and 44 points respectively. And then there was the unexpected like Montgomery Catholic losing to St. Paul's Episcopal, ending an underdog run from the Knights. It was all apart of a playoff round that saw a little bit of everything. The Montgomery area opened Round 1 with 14 high school football teams spread across six classifications. For Round 2, that number has dwindled to six teams and four classifications. The Montgomery Advertiser broke down the six AHSAA playoff football games featuring Montgomery-area teams in Round 2, and also threw in some predictions. Here are our predictions for Round 2 of AHSAA playoff football games in the Montgomery area.
