07_statechamp54 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Well, it’s here folks. 11-0 #4 Eastside travels to 10-1 #2 Bishop Luers. I expect this game to absolutely live up to the billing. Coach Mason’s postgame comments tonight were awesome to hear! I love when Coaches get fired up like that. It adds to what is already a big game for both teams. Thoughts?? Predictions? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basementbias Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Should be a good game. Think coin toss and who can set their offense up will be key. Eastside has to run the ball effectively and control the clock. Just concerned about their defense being able to stop the Luers air attack. Think Luers takes it though.

Firstly, I think the Knights need to get healthy. Sir Hale was in a walking boot last week and also had a couple others starters dinged up. Secondly, I think after the Snider game debacle, field and weather conditions are something to keep an eye on. If it’s another mudder next week then I think maybe the edge shifts to Eastside.

Gridiron_Junkie Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Luers has to be more disciplined. Way too many penalties vs. P. heights. Can't have that from here on out. Players and coaches need to be in the game. After a score you should know who is suppose to be on field. you've played 10+ weeks now. This should be automatic. Can't have a slow start. Especially on D. Davis and #34, will run all over you. Two years ago Eastside beat Luers. Last year Luers narrowly pulled out the win. This team will not be a pushover. Be ready. Don't have the mindset that all you have to do is just show up and you'll win. I guarantee if Luers does. They'll be getting ready for B-ball after next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they learned that a "HOME": game need not be played on Paulding Rd, to be won? Field conditions are a MAJOR factor to the outcome of every contest.... The injury to Hale? Did this occur in practice, or in last weeks' game? He was fine following the Snider contest.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron_Junkie Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hale's injury happend early in the 1st quarter in last week's game . He didn't play the rest of that game. He was dressed but did not play friday. Also, the Knights had another injury to a starter last week where the player didn't finish the game. The player was dressed tonight too, but I don't think he played either against P. Heights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, they’ll play it at home. I had heard that there was a few key starters out for the Knights tonight. I don’t know the severity of Hale’s injury but Rj Houge, Doughty and Aiden Dennis have filled in very nicely in his absence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available turf fields in Fort Wayne for Friday night: Homestead, Concordia and Spuller Stadium. The Luers/West Lafayette field a few years ago was awful and I believe hurt the Knights. I hope the higher ups at Luers learned a lesson from that game and try to get this game moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are a AC supporter, and easy answer could be found checking with the AC Athletic Director regarding last weeks' game moved to Bluffton..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The only say the visiting team has in the playoffs is if a game is beyond a certain distance in miles, to play on Saturday. If a host school moves a game, my guess is it goes through the IHSAA to approve officially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a "FITBIT watch" that has been GPS'd to be buried between the 40-50 yard line after the Snider game? Y'all might need to get that thang to a particular person if the field is playable.....😂 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the game out at Luers is supposed to be a good one but it’s a small school game. Big school game should take precedence here in FW.

I was more or less trolling the fact that 1380 doesn’t cover much small school football at all (Even if the small school is in FW) 🤷🏻♂️😆 but I digress.

Bigger schools, not named Luers, typically get most of the attention. Personally? I think it would be pretty scary if Luers had the enrollment of Cathedral. What if Pioneer had the enrollment of Penn. Imagine combining South Adams and Adams Central..........that would be a pretty good football team.
