Naz plays this poorly next week they don’t see a round 2

A little respect for your opponent goes a long way…….but you do it the Naz way. Sad.

Would be a great story but she has been dead for 23 years. Grow up. I can only pray yours is still on earth to help you.

This result is going to wreak havoc in both brackets. 2 teams who thought they were safe from wrath are about to be shown first round whoopings

May I remind you that Fenton is close to being ranked in the AP poll?!

Gateway Sports venue will have sideline video for this game and Ritter/LN, another barnburner classic.

Some school like Fenton is gonna get the wrath next week…

West Chicago over Fenton
Schaumburg over Hoffman
HC over DGN

I figure a scattershot is necessary to put me in the win column at some point this season. Woof.

1 for 3! We did it!

While running the ball 60 times today may have been the best way to get a win today, that may not have been the best way to prep for when they will inevitably need to air it out a bit more in the future.

Agreed. It definitely seemed they were working on things. There were points in the game where I thought it seemed I wanted to win more than the coaching staff. A win is a win, though.

Okay, thank you. You guys are making me feel better about what I watched this evening. I did like a lot of the things they did and/or tried today. The only thing that was really, not good. was that long pass into heavy coverage that was intercepted. That ball should have never been thrown, but that's not on the coaches.

Cats win 56-18 over Streator. Streator actually had more total yards than Wilmo in a weird statistical anomaly.
Coal City smoked Manteno as expected, 49-7.
Reed-Custer crushed Lisle 49-12. I figured Comets would win by a couple scores, but they took their frustrations out tonight.
Peotone 35, Herscher 0 per scorezone. Herscher could have snuck in with a win, but it looks like Peotone ended that idea quickly.

This is the least surprising score posted

If my math is correct which isn’t always true, looks like the Cats are going 3A?

Definitely looks that way.

Don’t worry, according to you if Naz plays anything better than their D- game they’ll win by 6 scores.

SF has a bit too much talent to say “if Naz plays like this they’ll lose in the first two weeks”. Must be a lot of talent in 5A then.

Deerfield beat New Trier - man what the F happened up at NT - years since they made playoffs

Lockport bear HF 36-32

Argo beats EP

I think a bit differently in that situation. PC needed to apply pressure on JCA quickly to force them to do things. Calling TO’s would have done that. Not saying the outcome would have been different, but the PC defense was gassed and needed as many breathers as they could get. Either way an exciting game.

I agree with you. I would have burned them after the deflating 8 yard runs on first down to at least give yourself a chance with 2-3 minutes left.

I was not trying to defend their clock management, just saying that I assume that was their thinking. I am cool with them not taking TO's after the first down runs, but after the 8 yard runs before second down it would have been best to stop the clock and give your defense a chance.

I have no idea why in the last few minutes they weren't sending 11 men into the box and selling out to stop the run. And if they were, I have no idea how they never made contact with the ballcarrier until he was 2-3 yards past the line of scrimmage.
