SIAC Week 13- Regional Championships

[TigerFan20]

JH Lines:

Reitz at Martinsville (-3)

Castle at Bloomington South (-3)

Tough 2+ hour drives on the road for the SIAC, should be some pretty fun games to watch.

Castle at Bloomington South - BloomS is tough to get a read on this year. Their defense has been shaky most of the season but I think they dealt with some injuries. They lost to BloomN by two scores earlier in the year then blew them out in the sectional final and held them to 3 points. Castle has looked really good at times and struggled other times. If the Knights can get their running game going, they win. Long road trip is always a factor too. But I think BloomS will have a tough time stopping McCool. Give me the Knights winning the Regional by two scores.

Reitz at Martinsville - Panthers will be making a long road trip into a tough environment. The Artesians have been impressive this season. Their QB-WR duo of Reynolds-Stroud is one of the top in the state and they look big up front. However, I don't think they have seen a team quite like Reitz on their schedule. The Panthers may have lost another starting WR last week but seem healthy besides that. They have been solid on both offense and defense lately. I think their run game could be a major factor in this one. Darrett-McClarney-Ussery is a tough trio of RBs to stop. But can the Reitz defense stop a very impressive Martinsville offense? I think just enough. Give me the Panthers winning the Regional by two scores.

Dang, Castle D looks like it has never seen a play action pass play before.  Totally befuddled by the idea the QB would fake a hand-off and then throw the ball

27-21 Martinsville over Reitz, I believe Martinsville has the ball in Reitz territory 

Running into the kicker gives BS a 1st down
