Here is the question... Will @Lysander make a trip south to watch his EC Trojans on Saturday in the friendly confines of Enlow Field? I'm doing chili and dogs, so plenty of food (and liquids) will be available. I just wish EC had picked Friday night....

Well done. Would have loved to have seen the Alice's win, but but definitely kept it closer than many would have expected.

Uggg.. long drive home... great crowd, facility, and the NV band burger is pretty darn good. The difference was the Tigers' D, which never really let the Knights get anything going. Haven't seen any stats yet, but held Cherry in check and kept pressure on the QB. Northview has a darn good team that was much improved over recent teams we faced and certainly have raised the bar for future teams.

Nice win Wildcats!

The Castle game was more of a fluke than Jasper IMO. Jasper beat us. We beat ourselves at Castle with muffed punts & KOs.

Can HH raise the ghosts of 2014 and pull the upset? ? ? No. GS rolls 48 - 14.

It's going to be a 4 quarter battle in Brazil. Memorial has to be ready from the opening kick after 2 weeks of lopsided wins. Northview has momentum, the "disrespected" chip on their shoulder, and will be in front of a huge home crowd as they seek their 1st Sectional title. Memorial will be at full strength for the 1st time, and I like that our kids have played in a game like this before. I'll take Memorial 34 - 23.

Gonna keep it in the family and go with the Wildcats to get their 23rd Sectional title by a comfortable 35 - 17 score.

That's it!!

As explained to me, the "neutrality" requirement comes from the fact that the IHSAA puts on the tournament and is paying the host school for the various integral workers - clock, PA, etc. All I know is if Northview's PA guy throws out a Ric Flair, then I'm going to my van for my tiger, Antonio.

Saw a tweet from Northview AD that the game will NOT be streamed.

How does that matter Bobref? Restriction #5 is the one that creates issues. As I understand it, during the regular season a PA announcer can cater to the home crowd, but in the tournament the facility is supposed to be "neutral". We had an opposing coach complain during the regular season about our PA announcer doing a Ric Flair "woooo", which is silly IMO.

MD 35 - 14

If HH can run the flexbone and eat clock, it might be smart to take the ball to start and try to matriculate slowly...

This was mostly tongue in cheek, but GS is going to hit a lot of pass plays unless someone hits QB1 off his spot. I certainly wouldn't want to be in your D-Coordinator's shoes...

I assume WREF 97.7 will cover either the S40 (MD/NP) or S32 (GS/HH) game on Friday. Does anyone from Brazil know if Northview has a radio station that will be streaming the game? I could put a link on our Memorial Football FB page.

I wasn't responding to you. I was responding the Trojan12 who (I think) was inferring that maybe TigerFan20 was assuming Memorial would be EC in regional. As I've said a bunch, I don't know of any Memorial fan who is looking past Northview. We are going to have our hands more than full Friday night.

What were his numbers as a sophomore and junior? I haven't followed GS as closely the last few years since we aren't in 3A, but my sense is that he has emerged more recently. Obviously he went to camps, etc. over the summer (as I see retweets from a GS fan I know 🙂), but I don't remember seeing as much the previous years. Also, a deep playoff run will probably get him some more exposure (and maybe a lineman or two). Things kind of heated up a little more for a couple of our better guys (Lindauer & Branson Combs) once we won state in 2017. Even with that, Branson Combs was a kid who many thought was under-recruited, much like what is being said about Heltsey.

Exactly... Or "hit someone"! Every time I hear that in the stands I punch (lightly) my wife in the shoulder..

If I'm HH and win the toss, I defer and bring the house on the first play to try to "get the Quarterback" as half the people in the stands always yell during every game... LOL.

Uh, no. Did you read the entire post, which shows Roncalli match-ups involving EC and Northview?

Easy target...

Northview has a lot of weapons. Probably more than any team in the SIAC.

That's even more impressive then. OV must be a damn good team. Lincoln will have its hands full, but they have some tough kids who play very hard for 4Qs.

The field was not an excuse. You guys whooped our butts and would have whooped our butts on any surface. That game was actually a pretty important moment for our program. We were pretty young in some spots and it showed us we needed to be tougher. I suspect the turf was well-received by most, if not all of the BTC faithful, right? Good luck to you guys this week, npatman. I forgot about the Hollow. It is worse than what BTC had. There is no question improving the facility would benefit the Hatchet football program, and probably other sports programs too (soccer, baseball, softball, etc.).
