TransplantedPanther

They were 1-8 in the regular season, and finished the season 3-9

Apologies on this. Hard to believe it has been that long now. (Knew Ellspermann was the starter last year, so the struggles this year are really a head scratcher)

Ok. My recap of the week from afar. Welcome to the SIAC Vincennes. That statement win you thought you had last week arrived. You proved it with the late game score to win it. Excellent performance against two of the top teams in the conference in the last two weeks. I’m still watching. Mater Dei has no reason to hang their heads after this loss. They played it tough, and had the chance to win it. Just had plays made against them in the end. Not a bad loss, but I’m sure the red and gold faithful don’t see it that way. Jasper is going to struggle, especially if they can not hold on to the ball. By my count (could be wrong), but four fumbles (one lost), one int, and three TODs for the game. While the turnover line may not look that bad for them after last week, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Reitz is a load on offense, and can play some defense. After a game with so many mental mistakes (9 personal foul calls, number is from a coach), they cleaned it up on defense and the results speak for themselves. Still a couple of small mental errors to clean up, but looking scary good. Congratulations to Memorial on scoring their first offensive touchdown of the season last night. Quarterback play is still a struggle, but when you lose a generational QB, the only direction you can go there is back. Look at Reitz after the 2010 season. Maybe the running game can help in that respect now. What can I say about Central. They have a good running back? At least they still get to play Bosse coming up. Castle just clobbered Bosse this week. Can we really take anything away from this game? Bosse was a team I do believe most people expected good things from this season. At least, they would be competitive. Ok, well maybe some flash? Right now, all I can say is woof. North is lighting it up on the back of St. Louis. I can honestly say that I don’t know much else about them except they started 2-1. Good things are at Harrison. They scored 20 points in a game for the first time since 2016. While they haven’t been on the winning side yet, you have to score points to win, and they are getting there

Can I officially beat my chest now?

Jasper scores!!!! 41-14 Reitz

Cheering for VL right now. Would be a statement win.

I would rather the boys talk with the play on the field over me talking on a forum. Reitz 41-7 after a long Burnett run

Reitz was back. Brunson implemented a new defense this year, and of course, his offense.

This was hilarious. And there was a reason I kept my mouth shut all summer. No one would believe me.

I do not believe Jasper has gained a yard in the air.

Reitz scores on a pass to Vera. 34-7

So long as we recover. Int on the Hail Mary. No offense, but Jasper really looks small this year.

Well, that REitz passing game is a thing of beauty.

Jasper fumbles. Reitz scores on the first play. 27-7 Reitz, live from the Bowl

Reitz 20-7. 2:33 left in the half

Young just walked off the field hurt

My shot at this. Memorial Castle North MD, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see VL win Reitz

I wouldn’t say the favorite. I would most likely say even. VL exposed the defense a little. Should be a good game. I will be there.

Wow. That Jasper @ Reitz line is surprising to me. I would say even at worst, or blue -1.

Credit where credit is due. VL is legit. Hunt was amazing at times. The play that sticks out to me was when Hunt was running for his life toward your sideline, and threw the sidearm pass on point, but was not completed. The biggest knock I saw on him was he locks on to one receiver, and it led to an interception when he showed the safety where he was throwing and the kid made a play. Good luck to Lincoln the rest of the way. I’ll be paying attention.

Reitz is big and athletic, and most of the defense is juniors. We were missing our starting MLB (Wells), but was preventative. He will be back next week. Lincoln surprised me tonight. Their QB is a solid runner. He was a little shaky on passing, but is adequate to keep defenses honest. Penalties almost cost Reitz tonight (8 personal fouls, 5 encroachment calls on short yardage). Right now, Reitz is their own worst enemy, and if they clean it up between the ears, they could be a force.

I’m shocked Cotton!!!

Thank you. 14 is being a little slow

Anyone know of the Central/Bosse game?

19-18 Reitz. 1:30 left in the half. Anyone who underestimates this Lincoln team better beware.
