Wow

Milivojevic finds Ian Willis for 28-yard touchdown on 4th and 20 to keep St. Francis season alive. Wow.

Naz starting with ball at own 8 after KO and St Francis has all 3 TO left. This one ain't over. 3:00 left
 
Naz headed back to state after another 0-4 start and barely making playoffs at 4-5. Unreal. A welcome surprise they were able to best St Francis in the rematch. Sounds like it was a fantastic game by both sides.
 
Where are the 4-5 & 5-4 teams don't belong in the playoffs people?
You mean like when @Prep writer said:

I don’t get the obsession for Naz either. They are 4-5. People need to stop focusing on the past. They literally got manhandled at home in a game that in normal years would have knocked them out of the postseason.

This aged like a fine bottle of whole milk 😏

I don’t understand the 4-5s don’t belong. Naz would have been 9-0 or 7-2 or 6-3 in 90% of crap conferences. I actually believe Fenwick and Marist who didn’t qualify would have represented better than teams from crap conferences

Lol. I’m a St. Rita alum/fan so we are an equal opportunity playoff foe: Publics and Privates have eliminated us from the playoffs plenty of times. One thing I never did about it was whine about it.
 
I just stated a fact, 4-5 should be at home.

Move teams up a class to fill spots. Then if you need to allow 4-5 teams in they should all be 1A teams

Not a random cutoff that allow 4-5 teams in the higher classes

So you’re okay with 4-5 1A teams making the playoffs but no one higher?
 
143-27 combined scores in 8A for 4-5 teams, shouldn’t be in the playoffs. That’s where my initial comment came from and that’s a fact
