MDAlum82 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Once again, Mater Dei will be travelling to Triton Central for the Regional championship. Should be a good game and there is certainly some background "bulletin board material" for fans to talk about leading up to the game. Per IHSAA rules, the visiting team picks the day and home team picks the start time. The last 2 times MD has travelled to TC, they have chosen to play on Saturday due to the longer bus drive. TC, in turn, has picked a late morning start time instead of a more typical noon or early afternoon start. Supposedly there were conflicts with other home sporting events - possibly a girls basketball game(?) - that created concern about limited parking thus necessitating the earlier than normal start time. Max Preps currently lists the game for 6:30 pm Friday but I believe that is the standard time they post until the home team gives them an update. Curious if MD will once again pick Saturday or go with the more traditional Friday evening game? If MD chooses Saturday again, will there be similar gamesmanship by TC with the early start time? Stay tuned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitting Llamas Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The game last year was on a Friday and the 6:30 start time this Friday is accurate. I can’t imagine MD ever picking a Saturday at Triton again after the 2019 game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine MD ever picking a Saturday at Triton again after the 2019 game I remembered it being in the evening but honestly thought it was on Saturday. Thanks for the clarification. Interesting that the last 3 games btwn these teams have been @ TC - yes/no?. We used to have the same situation vs Heritage Hills when it seemed we were always playing at their field. The 3+ hour bus ride makes this a long trip regardless of when they play. Imagine they leave around lunch time on Friday and have a similar routine as they have done for State in the past. Hopefully the game will be streamed as no way many MD fans can make the 3 hour drive on a Friday night. Best of luck to the 'Cats Edited November 6, 2022 by MDAlum82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the coaching staff will follow the same routine as last year. It seemed to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCatFootball Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Saw triton centrals runningback had to be helped off the field on Friday. I’m assuming that means he will not be available this week against MD if so how big of a loss is this for Triton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think if MD travels well, gets off the bus and plays that Massey spread seems about right. Certainly won't be the blowout it was a year ago.

MD was a little more stout on the DL last year, but I would definitely give the Cats the edge playing at Reitz Bowl. Rain isn't going to impact the game as much as it would on Linton's grass.

I would guess that almost all of Stucky's yardage came after MD had pulled their starters in the 3rd or 4th quarter. The touchdown came very very late in the game. But, as stated, new year, new teams. I don't expect a running clock in this one. I just hope to be playing at the Bowl in semi state. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TD came on the last play of the game if I remember correctly. I am expecting a close game either way, but of course I am expecting MD to win.
