foxbat Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Saw DC play Harrison in sectional championship. Quick backs with decent amount of misdirection. Get to the outsides quickly after drawing outside linebackers in. Outside backers/ends have to play disciplined ball or they'll run up and down the field on you. Workhorse is Berry and you'll see him a bunch in the middle. Dodo is really fast and gets to outside quickly. Just when you've finally figured out what they'll do, Polston takes off with the ball. Passing game isn't great ... QB rating's in the 80s, but they are effective. Don't throw a bunch of long balls, but tend to get a a lot of +1 passes off ... i.e., on 3 and 5, the pass is getting 6 or 7, if it's 3rd and 3, the pass is getting 4 or 5. Do have to watch for the long ball though as, they do have a play when they get your safeties looking into the backfield after a few running plays in a row and then sneak a back downfield for a long ball. Matter of fact, Berry put up over 140 yards rushing on Harrison and got his lone TD on a long pass play ... his only catch of the game. Kicker is really good. Expect touchbacks most of the night. Expect 2 out of every three kickoffs to be on-the-fly touchbacks. Most of the rest are going to see the receiver fielding the ball around the 5 or so. Leads 5A in the state in both kickoff ranking and kick scoring ranking and is #2 in PAT percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobref Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I saw both of these teams up close and personal in the last two weeks. I think they are very evenly matched. Likely the 5A game will be the best of the weekend … again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKGOLD2007 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 @Bobref in your opinion is this likely to be a defensive game or wide open offensive shootout like the Snider v New Pal game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see either team sustaining multiple long drives. Both teams have legitimate home run hitters, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarab527 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I’m gonna go with DC in this one. They’ve been on a roll lately. But I’ll be pulling for Snider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, you are across the field from us that given Friday night. Win, so we can be in 6A together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komets2727 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Snider 28 - Decatur Central 14 I think this will be an excellent game. Decatur likes to run the ball, but is very capable of passing the ball as well. When passing, they prefer the short, quick passes. QB is a capable passer. Defensively, they are quick to the ball. Looks they are vulnerable in the secondary. Like Merrillville, they will try and take Buchanan away, but that makes Billingsley even more dangerous. Snider has sprinkled some option recently, it could get more frequent in this game. I believe the difference in this game is Snider’s defense. We shall see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually a cartoon about that the South Bend Tribune put out regarding that. Overall, Penn has a slight advantage over Snider in the win column, but you're right, there was a period where Penn would blow through the regular season unblemished before running into Snider. The 90's I believe. Ironically, isn't that when Penn was winning state championships? This is how fans used to travel...... Snider at Penn 2003. Don't really wanna discuss the game though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my Freshman year. If you had asked me, I never thought we would score that much on Snider. Heck an onside kick returned for a TD. Everything went our way that night. 1994 is a great example of Penn going 10-0 and runs right into Snider in the sectional final. Gives up 24 points, in their first challenge of the season. Sorry Decatur Central...We will stop fawning over the good old days. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
