1A-I state semifinals: Canadian (11-1) vs. Haskell (9-4), 2:00 Saturday at Canyon's Kimbrough Memorial Stadium
Canadian is the defending champ and clearcut favorite behind QB Brandon Robinson, who has been playing great throughout the playoffs. He passed for 222 yards, ran for 51 more and accounted for four touchdowns last week in a 55-7 pasting of Olton. Haskell’s best chance is to use its dominating ground game to control the ball and the clock and hope to pull out a narrow victory. Haskell RB Tyler Rodriquez was a TexasFootball.com Player of the Week candidate after rushing for 281 yards and 5 TDs last week in a 51-35 win over Collinsville.
Prediction: Canadian 38, Haskell 21
Jerry Forrest's pick: Canadian by 20
