I have to say this... Williamsville O line is friggin big but soft AF. Byron is smaller but kicking the horse piss out of Wville's lines.

Just as I predicted. Williamsville is soft. They never play out of their class.

Last 2 meetings for Morris/Peoria....242 combined pts

Didn't love a 4th and 3 naked bootleg in the middle of the game. Defense played outstanding. Offense needs to feed Magrini and cut the penalties. Passing game was ok. Connected on a few big pass plays. I don't see this passing game coming alive and being consistently reliable. But it will be necessary as a change of pace, back the defense up part of game strategy. The 6-10 times you throw it, you have to connect to keep that defense honest. Can't afford drops, sacks, etc. You have to make your limited drop backs count.

I promised that I would only be fairly positive, so I bolded some stuff I agree with. They definitely need to do some kind of roll out action or the QB will never survive the season.

And I agree with some of the play calling, but I'm not allowing myself to whine about any specifics. Overall the Hillmen played well and I'm happy for the Win.

58-52 Peoria F

9A no need to waste time running this back in the playoffs

Generally agree. I wonder if the missed chip shot field goal late in the 2nd played into the decision making. If you feel there is only a 60-65% chance you make the PAT kick, perhaps it's worth it to roll the dice with the 50/50 2PC.

Battaglia is usually very aggressive. I was actually surprised he went for the field goal late in the second quarter rather than trying to convert on 4th down, uncharacteristic of him. My guess is he thought going for it at the end there was preferable to a shootout in OT although Fenwick’s passing attack was really moving the ball. Either way great game and I feel confident in Fenwick going forward.

Is the broadcast all student run? Great product.

IDK the Friars made the right call and it took an incredible plays by Jaw's-Mini-Me. to keep JCA's hopes alive.

Defense holding the team together for JCA. Offense had just enough and should have had more. 0-4 on 4th down tries.
Most importantly they won the game the has to have. Well done!

OK only positives from me this week, and not because they were perfect.

JCA played well, better than the 14-13 score indicates. They actually spread the ball around and used the forward pass. Still made some bad play calls, bad mistakes and penalties. But they overcame all of that and some pass coverage lapses.

They're still Alive in 2024, but it's up to them.

Soph game went long.; endless incompletions

Just continue to give Naz a short field. At some point you may have to punt the ball

Brutal game. Zero tackling from the Hawks. I mean zero!! Horrible.
I wish we lived in a world where teams play to their potential and not at previous scores. Disgusted. Just absolutely sickening!

50-45 Peoria under 4 min but Hudl feed cut out

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS - the old Alton Southern train comes through and sounds its horn like the old days.
