The WR that is up at PU gave Roncalli fits that game. Roncalli will play hard, but will not be able to push teams around up front like they did lasy year. I think they are still trying to find their identity. I have been hearing about this Chatard SR class since they were FR and how solid they are.

The do not have big good linemen this year. Graduation really hit them hard. The few big ones are still developing as all of the starting linemen are Jr and So. A rebuilding year for the Royals. Roncalli has 3 SRs on the roster with numbers between 50-79 where linemen should be. By comparison Chatard has around 12. I think a rough one for Roncalli, but should be back strong next year.

Add this slight to the Cathedral QB not getting it two years ago. That also was a stunner.

Interesting tidbit: Luers, Chartard, Roncalli and Cathedral have a combined 51 football state titles. 5 Mr. Footballs from those teams.

It is not the first time. Mike Bohn led the nation in rushing in 1993 while leading Roncalli to a State title. Award went to an O-lineman.

Anyone know a radio broadcast that will be streaming?

I think it is good to spread out the large and small schools evenly with the crowds. Helps with parking and everything else. Though it does not always work out. We were down there is 2016 and it was a mess with Center Grove and Roncalli on the same side

I have coached a lot of the kids on the team or my son has played sports against them. You are right. This group of lineman was talked about for a long time before they got to Roncalli.

Kind of a side topic that shows you how big the Mt Vernon upset was last year. It applies because some of the players are still on the team. Last years team: QB who holds every single Roncalli passing record WR who hold every singe Roncalli receiving record RB who at the end of this year will own every single Roncalli rushing record 4 division 1 lineman and another who is playing at U of I. (three this year) 2 Mr. Football position award winners. (My money is on Lauk for OL and Hanesn for RB this year) Team that holds the all time Roncalli consecutive winning streak. If Lockard is not concussed in Sectional final vs Chatard, Roncalli is in 5A and headed for a three-peat.

I thought there were a lot of holding penalties called on both sides. Roncalli had their second drive stall out that resulted in a missed FG because of a holding call. Also had a TD called back because of a hold later in the game, though they ended up scoring on that drive. It was a big contrast to the New Pal game that had very few called on both sides.

Just for reference, the kid in the middle is 6’7” and 290lbs.

Was he able to walk off the field? Hope everything is OK.

Looks like the kid was knocked out cold on that one TD run.

Would be a game with a lot of playmakers. I still can’t figure out how Reitz lost to Boontucky.

True, they just seem to have a lot of talent on O and decent size on their lines. That’s why my comment is that they have to figure out who they are and how to win.

Roncalli takes a huge step back next year as does Brebeuf (according to one of their fans I talked to here ) . I think next year is all East Central unless Evansville Reitz figures it out.

I am kind of stunned how one sided it was on the line of scrimmage The NP QB and his scrambling and passing to Thacker kept NP in the game when the running game was not working. NP should be very strong next year when the RB comes back from injury.

Their D is good. They held Mr. Football to his lowest total of the season so far.

Hey, hey, hey, be careful with the R word……

I ran out of allowed likes on posts, so my like does not show up on this one. the kid from Andrean is a star, but what the heck does Hansen have to do to win it? If he manages to carry Roncalli over EC next weekend, he willl run for 400 yards against whoever comes out of the north

He’s back!

Someone just made their statement.

I think North was definately a bad loss for EM. Different team at that time, but those factors are not measureable data.
