NE8 Title Game: 4A #9 Columbia City @ 3A #4 Norwell

[NE8_Fan]

Well, the NE8 title comes down to this:

Columbia City: 37 ppg; 9.25 allowed per/game

Norwell: 45.13 ppg; 3.5 allowed per/game

I think this will be much closer than some are predicting.  Both teams have stout defenses and both have multiple running threats, especially Columbia City.  Both with very able QB's with Columbia City having the edge in WR's.  Defense definately goes to Norwell as they lead the ENTIRE state in defensive scoring average.  NE8 conference record for points allowed in a conference season is 28 points (Leo in 2020) and Norwell is sitting on 21 points allowed in conference play.

My prediction.....Norwell 28 Columbia City 17

Hope Norwell wins by a decent margin. WR coach from CC spewing his crap on Twitter lately and not a big fan.

17-7 Norwell.  If CC was a bit more balanced I think it would be closer.  But they’re run heavy and that typically doesn’t work out against this Norwell D.

Norwell 35-14. Wouldn't be surprised to see Norwell shutout CC if they can limit big plays.

28-14 Norwell

I’ll take Norwell by 28.  CC has had a nice year but Norwell is unreal.  Can’t wait to see them in the postseason.

Will be attending hoping for a good game.

Norwell should win this one handily if they are serious contender for 3A
