Luers-Eastside: Sectional 35 Final

[psaboy]

Unranked Luers beats a top 5 rated team, seems like Luers is declining this year.

Agreed. They were very lucky to come out of there with a W. They’ll be overmatched vs Tipton next week. The Blue Devils are the real deal.

Luers just survives Eastside. Up by 14 points most of the night.  Luers almost blows it.  But holds on. Eastside had chance to tie after successful onsides kick. Eastside running game shredded Luers D. Questional Td for Luers.

When teams get to the level of Sectional Championships and beyond, I think "survive" becomes a more common term.  Having said that, Luers defense was on its heels most of the night.  The Knights will keep fighting.  That I am sure of.

I'm not convinced on Tipton yet, Luers is a different animal.... we will see !

They struggled at home vs. Lapel and Lapel was ranked well below Fairfield and especially Eastside. If Luers doesn't shore up their defense it might be a problem.

And so the Lou Holtzing starts! Man I missed this from playing Luers 3 years in a row. Luers is definitely the favorite but I think we will see a good game.

If struggled=stopping Lapel 3 times in the red zone, then you may be correct.

I wouldn’t say Tipton struggled. They were in control and Lapel scored a late TD to make it 28-20. Now I will say, Tipton wasn’t as sharp last night but that was to be expected after knocking off the #2 team the week before. There’s no doubt Tipton will have its hands full with Luers. Looking forward to Friday night!

Luers starting lineup is made up of some juniors and a lot of sophomores. They will be upclining instead of declining in the next few years.

Great prediction. I'd say Luers is gonna beat Eastside 56-49 🙃 (this is the thread for last week's game)

Holy cow!  I knew something didn't feel right about this one lol.  I'll blame my mental lapse on the coronavirus.
