    Memorial made an statement tonight to beat Mater Dei for the 6th straight year and controlled the game. Looks like they have found their QB1 in Fisher. Mater Dei will be good, but it seems like they were gassed out in the 2H

     

    Congrats to MHS on a well deserved victory. The Tigers seem ready to put their early season struggles behind them.  T  I thought the main difference last night was the Tigers' ability to control the LOS on both sides of the ball. 

    MD could not open holes on offense to support any consistent running game which left them very one dimensional.  Wunderlich held the ball too long and took several sacks at key pts in the game trying to make a play that wasn't there. Sometimes the best play is to throw the ball away and not lose 10+yds to a sack.

    On Defense, MD had trouble getting any pressure on MHS QB, which is a key part of MD's defensive scheme.  Last week at VL, I thought our defensive backs looked a step slow and nothing I saw vs the Tigers last night changed that opinion.  Compounding this, our DBs often looked confused on coverages and allowed WRs behind them all night long. 

    Lots to work on this week for the Wildcats.

    Looks like Mater Dei/Memorial will be the only live stream for this week

    Do you have the link(s) available?  I know HTF is covering this game but had difficulty getting game last wk via HTF connection.  Isn't there someone who covers all the MHS games?

    I could ramble about VL/MD to fill a whole page on the thread....gonna try to keep it short. 

    Another fantastic, high quality high school football game played on both sidelines. Great players. Great coaching. Great heart. Neither team deserved to lose just like a week ago with VL/Reitz. The final 18 minutes of game time were just incredible.

    MD is everything they are hyped to be in 2022 make no mistake. Wunderlich was a one man wrecking crew, whether through the air or on the ground. He's got a really good cast around him as well in the backfield and out wide. There's absolute zero reason to doubt MD chances of reaching LOS (although the Miners could have something to say). 

    For Lincoln, you have to start with Xander Hunt...the kid is just special. I don't how else to put it. We saw glimpses of it a year ago before injury and now he's putting on a full display. But tonight it took a total team effort to beat an opponent this good...there were dudes making plays everywhere tonight. Johnson, McCrary, Gillis, Foster, Keller, Hambrick, Steffey..and of course the big guys on the front line. Gotta keep this thing going...get back to work. Enjoy tonight though.

    GO BIG GREEN

    The 2 key drives by the Alices came at the end of each half.  VL went 70+ yds to kick a FG to go up 10 - 7 just before halftime.   Then, after MD put it in the end zone to take the lead with just over 2 mins to go in the game, VL took it 80 yds in just over a min to take the lead 31 - 28 with 56 seconds to go.  Give due praise to VL offense & Hunt.  That young man is a special player and gave MD defense fits all night.  Congrats to Alices on a well-earned W.

    Apologies upfront if I am violating any GID rules or policies for posting this link from Channel 14 but I think stories like this need to be shared as widely as possible as there is too little "good news" and too few inspiring stories these days.

    2A State Championship: Mater Dei vs Andrean

    Well, not the ending we wanted but a great game, nonetheless.  Both Defenses showed their strength and, in the end, a fumble deep in MD territory turned the tide.  #34, Bowen was the best player on the field.  He took the game over in the 2nd half, leading Andrean to a well earned victory.  Congrats to the 59'ers.

    As for the Wildcats, not the end result we wanted but so very proud of the team & its overall effort Saturday.  The Defense came to play and the Offense gave it their best but came up short against an equally strong Andrean defense.  I knew Andrean would be bigger in some areas but it seemed every player at every position had about 20 lbs on us. 💪

    In the end, we came up a little short but we could not be more proud of the team and the overall season!  Thanks to this awesome group of Seniors:  Tyler Martin, James Ralph, Nicholas, Boots, Eli McDurmon, Will Carter, Cole & Dane Wilson, Pierce Wolters, Bryce Humphrey, JT Mayer, Calvin Stratman, Ryan VanBibber, Luke Burgdorf, Jay Schiff, Nathan Koressel, Colin Maurer, Mason Eichoff, & Landon Elpers...  Thanks for your leadership, dedication & effort over the past 4 years.  Your collective effort has once again lifted the team, the school, and the West Side community and given us something to take our minds off all the other craziness going on the world...if only for a few hours a week. Can't wait until next year...
