I hope LCC can keep it close.  I wish the game was at LCC.  LCC has played Dwenger before, but never Andrean.

And Concordia, Mish Marion, not sure bout St Joe, never Luers.

I may not have been able to fully articulate that...sorry @Bobref. 

But think of the NFL in the 1970's....  You can basically MAUL a receiver until the ball is thrown.  That the HS/NFHS rule in place now.  

Yeah.... it's Great!!

They'd be in good company with a lot of other teams.

They've been beat around 22 times since the all in??  Winning what?...like 13??  Not sure how many different teams did it.... Northwood holding the distinction of winning the title against em..... yeah... b nice to c WL add their name to that list.... 

I'd like to c the River Rats get the monkey off their back.... don't think they've ever beat Chatard... could... jus don't think it's this yr.......

I appreciate that. 

And of course I respect your understanding of why I feel that way.   With that...let's get back to the Regionals next week and enjoy IHSAA FB and all it gives to us!

 

it was a freaking great stereo type based joke!!  Progress........👍

Nope.  Just an official that looks at an equal playing field that may/may not be apparent to those in the stands.  

I have flagged/ejected those who are "like me" for their actions/words that were offensive to others....and I sleep well each night after having done so.  

Of course u would... u r a respected  official... the young man who started it was making a joke.... u don't c it that way....  jmho

Yup.  And I'll die on this one!  

I am all about equal treatment, on and off the field.  It is education based athletics!  No gray area at all!

I think everyone can agree w that... ur offended.... cuz ur opinion is based on a higher moral authority than the young man who made it?

No more votes for the day...

But @foxbatand @Lysander...yall know that I understand the comments.   I just wish that there was a more defined and polite way to say a different perspective upon the game was being imployed by different schools.  It upsets me when we look at the "abilities and familial DNA" of a player as the reason for success....rather than the system that is in place.

Example: Larry Joe Bird.   He was a bad man!  He was looked upon as a certain type of player for one reason, and one reason only....but we all are patently aware he was special....but had a different "hue" in a time of change... 

U r entitled to ur opinion.......

But we already knew that

Sucking at somethin... is not a good indicator of a State Champ....mayb they can put a band-aid on it.... ???

The beautiful thing about SAG is... it's always right!!  After the last game is played.....

Doesn't LCC have a shot at beating Andrean if they play them?

Yes....  I'd luv to c em get a game w the State Champs... make no mistake they'd b big Dogs... would b one for the ages if they pulled it off ....  u know how Lcc rolls.......

VERY much LIMB 🙂 

I know.... 💩  can happen ... but still think it's Andreans to lose.....

Ok.... before Sec finals kick off.... I'm with Nowlins... Its always been Andrean vrs the field.... Lures has the best shot of knocking em off.... even if Eastside sticks it to Luers again....  The South... has 4 contenders battling it out to c who gets a trip to LOS n a Red Ring...... Madders Days who I find suspect as the SIAC seems down this yr.... Scecina n Triton duking it out to c who gets MD... n Liptons who was exposed by Southmont....  I don't c any of those having a better shot at Andrean than Luers dose.....  SAG is a lagging indicator and starting to come around...  jmho

Went out on limb ther coach.... 😉😆

I think regardless, it will be a nailbiter. As far as 2A goes other than Eastside and Luers, this might be the game to watch. Calpreps has LCC winning 35-34. Indiana predictor has Rochester by 1 with homefield, losing by 1 without the homefield factor. Might just come down to those ole intangibles you like to remind us about Mr. BendNotBreak 😉 

Isn't Secenia playing Tri?  Another good one!  I can't c a clear favorite in looking at the intangibles on this one... they look even to me.... guess it will come down to good Ole execution....

Fantastic point! Making a high school team drive 80+ yards is extremely difficult for an offense(not impossible) and increases the chance for error. 

Yep.... IF Lcc can get some strikes n keep em pinned deep... this game is a nail biter.....

6 minutes ago, foxbat said:

I think LCC just missed its first PAT this past weekend.  Kickoffs favor Rochester on distance averaging about 46 yards.  Rochester doesn't punt a lot, but when they have, it hasn't been stellar.  They are averaging about 18 yards a punt.  Not that their punt daya and kickoff data is incomplete ... e.g., apparently Rochester didn't kickoff in the Maconaquah and Wabash games.  LCC's kickoff has been averaging about 32 yards with punts about the same.

Returns favor LCC with 23 yards on kickoffs and about 18 on punts.  Rochester averages around 14-15 yards on kickoffs and only around 3 yards on punt returns.  LCC returners are always dangerous.  They have four games with kickoff returns of over 30 yards while Rochester has only one.  Likewise, LCC has six games with punt returns of 20 or more yards ... including three with returns of more than 40 ... while Rochester has one game over 20 for games reported.

OK.... so... keep em pinned deep n make em drive the length of the field..... that outta even it up.....

I dont think its unreasonable to think  Lcc cant get a few stops vrs the 3 headed monster on a long field..... In a possession game... field position is huge.... who has better kicking game??

Don’t see either team getting destroyed here lol. I expect the points to be plentiful and definitely don’t see 5 or 6 turnovers by Rochester happening to bail LCC out like what happened last week vs Cass. Game should not have been close with that many turnovers..

Yep... TOs killed the Kings... but a 21pt loss sounds right vrs a top ten D...  So... we got 2 teams that can put up pts... but less than steller Ds....  Sounds like the 3 headed monster will jus steamroll Lcc.... n when i c a 6-5 1A Northfield team drop 33pts on the Zebras.... u mayb right about the pts...

Yeah, Mazur played really well against Cass.  I'm not worried about the offense.

Yeah... the O is fine after goin tit for tat on 3 teddies w WL for a half.... if they can keep that up ...n slow down the thundering Zebra herd... could eek out a win....

52 minutes ago, Tippy said:

I hope you are right!  Perhaps you could list some reasons why LCC would destroy Rochester.  I think the teams are about even.  If I thought LCC would destroy Rochester or Rochester would destroy LCC, I would say so, but I am really not sure who will win.

It's a plus that Lcc can strike from anywher....anytime..... so, they got dat goin for em....

It was an epidemic this last weekend over there.  Four turnovers for the game with three fumbles in the second half and two in the last two possessions of the game including a scoop and score that gave Plainfield the lead.

It's a sickness with them... shoulda got ther booster shot.. or somtin.... 😊

I just hope LCC doesn't catch blocked punt-itis or bad kicking-itis.  But Harrison and Cass know all too well that TO-itis is the worst itis you can get.

Ther was a Lcc player that got the job of long snapper... cause ther was no way he could snap it over the punters headI!!   LoL

Not sure either... could go a bunch a ways.... one thing for sure... if either team catches TO-itis from Harrison they will lose...
