Concord's a pretty good football team . I've been wondering for a couple weeks why people were so high on Warsaw . Maybe they knew something I didn't , and lord knows we don't want to question the professionals. I thought we'll find out a lot about Warsaw when they play Concord and Mishawaka .

Snider and Warsaw were tied with a minute to go in the game. That tells me all I need to know about Warsaw. Their defense can't be that good. Not a slam on either team, but it's just not the year for the Panther or the Tiger.

Can't understand why the Warsaw coach was adamant about attempting fourth down plays.  In the third quarter Concord up 24-7, Warsaw with a fourth and twelve on their own 28 yard line, have not stopped Concord defensively all night, but still attempt to gain the first down.  An incomplete pass is followed by a quarterback scramble for a touchdown for Concord, 31-7 game out.  This was not the only time they tried to convert on fourth down and failed.   It made no sense at all.

Bart must of been in desperation mode. Warsaw is not built for 4th and 12, let alone from its own 28.

How else is a running football team going to come back and win being down 17 points in the third quarter. Sounds to me like he was playing to win. A punt in that situation is worthless to me.
