Pedialyte is good stuff. Nasty, but effective.

Same thing weve heard last two weeks,  let me ask you a question,  what happen to LCC when they played teams with speed? See west Lafayette score. We are playing on the fastest field in the nfl. Lutheran 49-7 .

Oops

Was McFadden going out an intangible?

I  would agree.  Even those that "have seen both teams play" still need to factor those in and forget about things like speed and turf.

Not really because a team like that would not / should not be that stymied on those three or so plays that he was out to have made the difference in a game that they led by a TD with a couple of minutes deep in the opponent's territory.  Realize that Buche was also out for a few plays on the LCC side during the game too.  You could see him already hobbled when they came back from the locker rooms. 

The intangibles might well be the four inches of steel and the ability of the Knights to gut it out there at the end.  The chaplain praying the rosary on the sideline probably falls into that too.

[BendNotBreak]

I was surprised  ..... at the O .... Lcc was able to generate...   thot they needed to keep the score lower to hav a shot at it.....  go figure.....

[BendNotBreak]

The last of 09ers prophesies..... jus came true........   nice

The "grind" definitely paid off this season.  If not for the HC schedule, they would not have won this game.  May have had some problem against Adams Central and maybe even Trader's Point as well.  It's probably not a lot of coincidence that Sheridan and LCC have nine state titles and 10 state visits while members of the Hoosier Conference.

Are you sure South Adams didn’t play for the state finals today?

As for McFadden.... maybe the Saints should look at their own conditioning. He was dead as was the Lutheran DL the last 5 minutes of that game.
