4A Final - Rochester 59 v Larry 38 1.27 4Q

[pjjp]

Would love to see Rochester challenge themselves in a higher class, but that won’t happen.

Would also like to see the success factor applied to all schools, but that won’t happen either.

At halftime Jack talked about how the Rochester run game was effective, then said the CCL was tough and Rochester was finesse.

No dog in the hunt, but I imagine you have to be fairly tough to be in the finals.

 

[doctor_d]

Great play. Great pick up block to allow it.

It was just a weird thing to say. He complimented the run game then said that…
Rochester has won the LOS today.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Game on.

Right or wrong spread teams are always labeled as soft.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Old boy was talking about Rochester being gimmekey, and then they score just as he spew this diarrhea from the mouth.

 

[doctor_d]

Ball is tough

Agree.
I think Success Factor should apply to all schools, private and public.

 

[mc140]

The Vikings might as well onside the rest of way out.

 

[pjjp]

Agree.

If you are a 4A public, don’t you want Rochester in a higher class?

If you are a 6A public, don’t you want ESL in higher class?

They lost today, but Lena Winslow almost won 4 in a row. If you are a 1A public, don’t you want Lena in a higher class?

Do you think it would be solely based on title wins or a combination of wins and points scored? Do teams that eke out numerous wins get the same treatment as teams that consistently win in drubbings?

 

[brucealmighy]

St L is showing they deserve to be in this game. They are a good team. Rochester is just better

 

[doctor_d]

Can they somehow get a stop?

 

[crusader_of_90]

Can they somehow get a stop?

no

 

[Bwm57]

PJPP,
Am I missing something?
Sounds like we are both saying the same thing?

End of year finish, I think.

 

[brucealmighy]

Illini got a steal with Ball coming as a PWO. At worst he will be great on special teams coverage but have a feeling he will end up getting touches as an upperclassman

 

[Bwm57]

Wow. Two observations. 😀
STL has really battled!!
Rochester is really, really good!!

They should be embarrassed

 

[greatgig13]

They should be embarrassed

Really?

 

[Bwm57]

They should be embarrassed

Why?

 

[greatgig13]

Why?

We’re supposed to be adults commenting on 16,17.18 year olds. Wow.

You just can’t help some people.

 

[rfb321]

They should be embarrassed

Who should?
Rochester for keeping most of their starters in to get to 59 rather than let bench guy seniors see the field, or SL because they lost by 21?

Congrats to Larry on a fine season but……Gosh dang you IC for depriving all of us of Rochester vs IC!!!

Rochester won 5A handily over St. Rita in 2019 and in the Spring of 2021 they took on 8A Loyola when nobody else would….it went horribly for them but they didn’t back down and took on the challenge. So they aren’t afraid to move up.

Multiplier never should be dropped for lack of success ie StL. SF should apply across the board

 

[McCaravan]

If you were to tell me Laurence would score 38 points I would assume they would have won. They did fine offensively they just had no answer for them defensively…..you should never score 38 and lose. Even so, it was a Season they have wanted for decades in Burbank, job well done.

Yes.

I’d have loved to have seen a healthy IC v Rochester.

DL again proved that developing a program with hard working kids who have the commitment from the community & school leadership is how championship success is achieved, regardless of public or private.
It is a year-round dedication to conditioning, discipline, strategy, teaching and repetition.
Congratulations to the boys of Rochester and the community that supports them!

No, not missing anything. We are saying the same thing.

 

[MIKEFTB]

"Would also like to see the success factor applied to all schools, but that won’t happen either."

I was thinking the same thing...and coming up with the same conclusion..

 

[penlight]

I am not a proponent of the Success Factor for any schools.
The kids who won have moved on and those that came after them are denied the same opportunity, all to appease a group of malcontents.
Look at the consistent success of Cary Grove, Rochester, Byron, LWE, ESL, Leona W, MS, etc.. I do not buy the “we can’t compete” copout.
If Mount Carmel had beaten Loyola in week 9 we would likely be watching a Batavia vs. Mount Carmel championship on a neutral field.

Weird hill to die on, but at least your dead.
