temptation

State record for points in a game is...

Let’s have some fun here.  If I give you 62.5 for CG right now, you taking the over?

But you don’t coach your kids as huge underdogs. It was 0-0 at that point.

But you know deep down where you stand. Go down swinging.

Moot point as we will never know but coaches (at all levels) are far too conservative on 4th and short.  Analytics state that going for it is more often the correct call.

Good night folks.

I thought Westfield would have to play a perfect game just to keep it close.  That’s now out the window.

Almost a disaster.

Now it IS a disaster.

‘Night Rocks.

Uh ohh...

But isn’t going for it in your own territory playing not to lose?

Not in my opinion.  A conservative play call in that situation delivers the message that you are intimidated.  
 

It’s 6 damn feet.

Westfield better respond here or this could turn into a familiar story for CG’s opponents.

I agree. Play to win not play not to lose

ESPECIALLY as the underdog.

Steele just made that kid look foolish.  Kid never lets the first man take him down.

Never understand why coaches are so conservative on 4th and short from near midfield.  It’s baffling.

Lets see if this works out...

And four plays later, CG is back at midfield.

Mind numbing.

PLAY TO WIN.

1. Luers isn't a public school. 
2. Even if you toss in Luers, you have two private schools in six seasons, as opposed to the previous five that referenced ... and they still loss.  Of course, if we are using this season too, then my statement about WeBo's two back-to-back appearances changes to three back-to-back appearances and wins.
3. I'm not seeing Luers in the previous 5 years in 2A:

Gimme their % anyway.

As will I. Sorry their F&R %s are too low for you @temptation

 

What f&r %?

That's the sweet spot for 2A public schools.  Public schools that have played at LOS for the last decade and the F/RL percentage:

•  
• Woodlan* 27.63%
• WeBo* 32.42%
• Monrovia*  33.09%
• Tipton 33.55%
• Eastbrook* 34.42%
• North Putnam 37.44%
• Southridge* 39.00%
• RCHS ** 41.09%
• Whiting * 62.07

* Public schools that played at LOS without a PP opponent

** Public schools that played at LOS with a PP and won

BTW, for all of the talk about PP dominance, especially in the wake of SF, before this season, the previous five seasons in 2A have seen one PP team in those five years ... all the rest have been public schools including two appearances by WeBo and two by Eastbrook back-to-back.  And Eastbrook was there three times in that five-year period.

You left out Luers’.

About 4 miles borders Marion Co. I stand corrected. My whole life has been a lie.

The Indy Star covers WeBo as a local school.  Yes, they count.

Everyone can rest assured either Chatard or Roncalli won’t make it out of Sectional....likely first game.

And everyone will feel TERRIBLY for them.

Oh the irony. 

Three state championships in a row and a win over a PP ... like the PP part even matters.  Let's just call it what it is ... WeBo's done a great job of making things happen when they get to LOS regardless of who's on the other side of the 50 when the coin is flipped.  Congrats to the kids and their coaches and the school for not buying into the hype and just playing the game!

Yep.  Great job by some rural farming community kids who have 1/3 of their school on free/reduced lunch who grew up in their community and worker their asses off.

Built a culture that did not exist prior to their arrival.

Kudos Stars!

Very sad for these Luers kids to have a game be decided that way. I thought when they got the ball back with 1:55 that they shouldn’t of been conservative. Stay true to who you are and drive the ball downfield but hey. Now it’s on to next year, your goal remains the same. This loss should fuel you to be better. 
 

This is a great thing for everyone on this thread/forum who hates parochial and private schools. It’s like Christmas come a few weeks early! I’m not sure why there is so much hate, but enjoy basking in it. Much respect to Webo. Hard fought game.

Even the Lord couldn’t grant them a Hail Mary...

Great win for public education.

Gonna be a tough act for the remaining five games to match.

I’m not optimistic.

Gonna come down to the onside.

Luers seems MORE comfortable on 3rd/4th and long.

Unreal.
