Finals
Jacksonville 76 Lanphier 14.
Springfield 51 Southeast 24.
QND 37 SHG 7. Not shocked that QND won but am at the margin of their victory. QND is setting themselves up for a deep run in the 2A playoffs. Really believed the Cyclones personnel changes made last week were setting them up for success.
MacArthur 55 Eisenhower 12.
U High 52 Lincoln 0.
Chatham 45 Rochester 17. The Titans dominated from the start and in all aspects. Rochester's Defense, which was a bright spot through three games, got no pressure on Knoedler and gave up multiple deep pass plays. Knoedler's accuracy on "jump ball" throws to his 6'7" WR was very impressive. The Rocket Defense got two stops all night, one at the end of the game when Chatham was running out the clock. Really no positives on the Rocket side and another QB lost to injuries. Eli Carlson, who is also a starting LB/DB, was hurt in the 2nd quarter and on crutches on the sidelines afterwards. Lots of corrective action needed before next week when Rochester faces another good passing attack in U High. Finally, Chatham won this impressively without star WR Blake Lehnen who did not dress.
