King Philip (9-1) vs. Duxbury (11-0)
5:15 p.m., Weymouth High School
Ryan Lanigan - Duxbury 21 King Philip 14 - It's going to be hard for Duxbury to stop Charles Ruffin, but in the end I believe they are the better all-around team and they will advance to the big game on Saturday.
Tim Rosenthal - King Philip 20 Duxbury 16 - At least one Hockomock League team will be represented in the Super Bowl as the Warriors pull off the upset over undefeated Duxbury and head to Gillette.
Dan Libon - Duxbury 28 King Philip 21 - After only having to play 1 close game all year, now its time to see what KP is made of against what many believe is the #2 team in the state. This game might feature the best 2 teams in Division 2 but Duxbury comes in with the passing TD leader in Matt O'Keefe. Not to be outdone, KP has the Hockomock League Offensive Player of the Year in Charles Ruffin who is tied for the most rushing touchdowns in all of D2. Get ready for a fun game with two of the highest scoring players in Division 2

Oliver Ames (6-4) vs. Pembroke (10-0) 7:30 p.m., Franklin High School
Ryan Lanigan - Oliver Ames 20 Pembroke 17 - There's just something about this Tigers team that screams determination. They've had their letdowns this year but they seem to be riding a wave of momentum and that will help them tackle Pembroke.
Tim Rosenthal - Pembroke 17 Oliver Ames 14 - The Tigers have had a nice season winning the Davenport and certainly belong in the playoffs. But OA's luck will run out against undefeated Pembroke as their season comes to a close.
Dan Libon - Oliver Ames 21 Pembroke 10 - Its been a long 51 years for anyone who wanted to see Oliver Ames football play after Thanksgiving and now the Tigers are 1 game away from playing for a state title. A very unexpected matchup from the non-powerhouse in OA and the fairly new Pembroke High School. Bottom line is that OA had to play against some of the toughest teams in the state in the Kelley-Rex Division and that has to give them an advantage over Pembroke.
