That 1 point to make it 35 is important.  Its a reminder the game was a running clock and Vincennes only scored on the JV and Freshmen.

Well, that and it also got me home 45 minutes earlier that night...

I parked by the softball field last year at the semi state. There were lots of vehicles but most people were taking turns to get out of parking lots and to the main road. It didn’t take nearly as long to get away from the jungle as it did to get over the outcome of the game.

@TigerFan20, not many will fit in that "B" lot--just saying.

Since @tango is being absolutely insufferable, I am fixing this:

The more I think about this game - the more I am inclined to think it may not be that competitive at all. Now don't come at me with pitch-forks Memorial fans...BUT:

Granted from what we've heard, we didn't get Memorial's best showing last Friday. That said, the only TD in the first half came via a result of a scoop and score from a SR fumble on a 3rd and 1 from around mid-field. Subtract that, and it is a 3-0 game at half.

2 scoring TD drives in the second half - BUT - Memorial did mount a drive to start the half - but a missed fumble call at the goalline awarded Memorial a TD that probably shouldn't have been given. 

The last scoring drive was aided greatly by what I would consider a "questionable" DPI call. 

It all adds up to 24 points in the end - and granted, SR didn't threaten all that much offensively minus a couple drives that crossed the 50 only to peter out with no points.

In my opinion - Memorial will have to play MUCH better to have a chance in this game. HH is LOADED...and SR was without several "key" pieces. 

Every Friday is a different story - just my observations since I'm bored.

I agree, the Tigers need to play a lot better, but it important to note that offense was on the field for around 14 minutes in the game. SR did take up a lot of time by running the ball, however, there were some drives in the 1H that could’ve been better for the Tigers. SR played some pretty good defense throughout the game. It will definitely be a good game on Friday, but will be a battle.

I think this is going to be a 35-21 win for Heritage Hills.

[HHPatriots]

I think this is going to be a shootout with some big plays that get away from the other on both sides.  Dramatic end, got to go with my Patriots. Payne kicks a FG to win 24-21.

Wish you and Jets had been more bored last week because it would have been nice to have had some perspectives on the game from the SR side leading up to the game. 

You forget we are city folk, we don't have pitchforks...

I agree we will have to play much better. I expect we will, but it will be a tall task beating HH. We got impatient in the first half and took too many shots deep when the underneath routes were wide open. The goal line "fumble" on the first drive of the 3rd Q should have never happened anyway. On the play before, our FB was clearly in the endzone and his forward progress had not been stopped. I don't know if the sideline ref's view was blocked or what, but the FB has his upper body and the ball 1-2 yds. into the end zone. I also thought the WR had the ball across the goal line on the long catch that set up the 1st and goal from the 1 foot line on the play before the FB dive. Reasonable minds can disagree on the questionable DPI call. Either way, both TD drives in the 3rd Q were just a handful of plays and we moved the ball down the field with relative ease, mostly on 8-15 yd. runs.

Ultimately, to have any chance against HH, we will have to spread the ball around, have some success running the ball if we can force HH to play sideline to sideline, mix in some screens (which we did not run against SR), and Fisher will likely have to run the ball more than the last two games. He's capable of doing that.

If you think your offense had trouble getting time on the field last Friday...you ain't seen nothing yet.

I’m expecting a lot of running from HH tomorrow night…..while I will be running to the concessions.

With the exception of maybe the Bosse game (when it 35-0 at end of 1st Q and we stopped throwing the ball completely), I don't think we've won the time of possession battle in any game. I thought you said you had watched film on us? The O usually doesn't need a whole lot of time (and didn't last week in the 3rd Q). 

As I've said many times already this week, I realize HH is a great team and we will have to be nearly flawless to win.

We almost never win the time of possession also.  I realize Memorial has a pass game so they can score quickly.  Don't expect homeruns...HH does a great job of keeping it in front of them.  Bottom line... you can't win when you don't have the ball and you certainly can't put up a lot of points with limited possesions, no mater how quickly you can score.

It's almost impossible to be a public and be the favorite against a P/P at this point in the season.....but in my opinion...HH should be favored to win this contest.  Favored teams lose very Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

I'm going back to my little too early post in the Sectional 32 thread for this game.  I still compare this game to our Castle game.  And if PAC/HH doesn't think that is a complement, you need to look up Castle and watch the game with Memorial.  Memorial offense could not be stopped and really only stopped itself.  And that was what was needed to win. 

28-21        Castle Possession Time, 31:31 Mem Possession Time, 16:29   Castle had the ball near literally the entire 3rd quarter minus about 30seconds.  

If Memorial has an offensive game like vs SR.  It's a HH win.  But those games are seldom for Fisher to be inaccurate.  The North game was the only other one this season.  So I don't expect that again, especially if he is not hurried.  This may be contrary, but I don't think HH DL foot speed will do the trick. Even Michigan DL Commit Patterson only got to Fisher once and I don't really remember their D1 LB commit Leach being much of a factor either.   I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens on that 3-8 front HH puts out.  I'm not so sure how effective it will be.   If HH has face a super accurate QB that throws 90+ mph fast balls, let me know who it was.

The Memorial defense will need to do what it does, but a little better.  I am expecting maybe one big break away play for TD for HH.  Not the multiple a game they usually get.  McCool, who physically, speed and strength, is near identical to Goldsberry, got one for Castle.    Castle's throwing capability is better in than HH in my opinion.  I think 4 out 5 passes go to #8Ruxer and beyond that not much.  HH will need to get some of those pass plays going.

Bottom line, I expect it to be a great game and both teams must play their best to win.

We’ve done pretty well (3 pages worth) of avoiding turning this into a “PAC vs SIAC” thing…BUT - you might want to take off your SIAC colored glasses a bit with comparing the 3rd place SIAC team to a team whose only losses the last 2 years are to Chatard, and some Kentucky state champs.
 

If we’re comparing- I’d say a Memorial/GS comparison (we played them both) is more relatable than a Castle/HH.

Uh…they lost to another team too 🙂

Chatard hasn't been a problem for us. 2008, 2009, or 2018. It's a mentality thing...
