Well it should be clarified as ugly HS game. Watching Northwestern give a game away with play calling and WIU vs Indiana it was far from the worst Friday activity.
Here are a few notes: Providence is the new undisciplined leader in penalties…of all shapes and forms. Celebrating a fourth down interception that cost your team 35 plus yards in field position? LWC botched snap on a punt 7 points instead of 2? This game should have been won at halftime for Provi but LWC did rally back which was a highlight. Celtics had 3 penalties to start the second half with two being major walkoffs. A ton of work to be done for both sides.
Question…Injuries to LWC a factor coming into this rivalry game? It had the crowd size everyone wants in their stadium as a plus…and the split the pot 💰!

A big positive from this game is lots of good play to build on. Thankfully, the Rockets will not see this size or speed for the rest of the season. I'm still shocked at the size of that right OT....I guess Orlando Pace never left St. Louis!

CS8 coaches in analyzing this game film will, again, find themselves in the unenviable position of having to plan an attack against an intransigent Rocket defense.

The offense will be a big question, but one I can't wait to see the answer to. DL and KL will come up with something brilliant, I'm sure.

“Intransigent”? Cmon dude I haven’t even had my coffee yet. Ha.

WOW,
This game might be the biggest surprise for me. I mean the way LWE handled MS last week. To beat Warren this bad is a bit scary. Makes be wonder how good is Warren?

Or it makes you wonder how good and unstoppable LWE is.

I thought a shootout was more likely than a battle of defenses.

The Rocket defense was outstanding, especially considering the size difference up front and that Ritter had a huge time of possession advantage.

Ritter's defense was excellent against the run all night. When Zulauf was hurt, that became critical. The backup did as well as could be expected, considering this was his first meaningful varsity experience and was still playing DB.

Hate to see Joliet Catholic lose but maybe that will shut some of your asses up who constantly cry about Private Schools. If The Toppers would have won I can see it now Oh how many players do they have from Oswego 😒😒😒

Logan Malachuk 9 for 12 6 TDs approx 300 yards in a half of play

ROCHESTER - When you lose your starting QB in the first quarter and only score 3 points the rest of the way ... it's a long night. Just ask Coach Leonard and the Rocket faithful.

Parker ran for 160 and two TD's

Very fast and more than willing to take/give hits.

FB1976 said:

It very easily could have been the score, but for the Rocket defense playing so unexpectedly well. I'm glad to be wrong on that one. But look me in the eye and tell me you were proud of the offensive effort.

Oh...and I'm still more on target then the posters who predicted a Rocket victory.

Those RBs were beasts for CR. Along with the QB, they were provided some great protection by that behemoth line. The Rochester D did a great job coralling the CR horses for a quarter and a half before finally being worn down.

Don't sell yourself short rodent...you were plenty loud last night. But in all seriousness you must have missed the whole other thread covering this game. That would have given you the info you needed. Why do you care so much about "small ball" anyway??

They choked to Richards who got spanked last night but will win their weak conference & have an early round 1 or 2 exit in playoffs. Concrete Money will also win their even weaker Conference & face the same fate as Richards

I know. My sarcasm is lost on you.

If my memory is correct, they beat us during that run you speak of.

If they lose at home to 2-0 Fenwick, wheee do the other 3-4 wins come from? Will be very difficult…

@RockSoup I tell you the JV game went off without a hitch, they had two guys doing a pregame show and right when the band came out, it stopped

Looks like philsburner had better intel than rocky Marciano lol great CCL matchup. Great vibes all around, big crowd. I’m sure the Mustangs will see the Caravan Rd 2 this year

Hmmmm This is a bold pick. As Josh Pate would say "its a 9.5 on the boldness scale!"

A bold pick...but in the end, a fruitless pick.

We’ve been busy having a good beer.

Congratulations on beating the 331st rank team in the state by only three scores

cornerrat said:

Al.... A query if I may sir, Do the Rockets win if young Mr. Zulaf doesn't go down? Just curious.... Ratsy

Uncertain.

However, there would definitely be more completed passes and sustained drives. This translate to a fresher defense. The real issue is the quarterback was also the starting safety. So therefore, he could not sit down with Derek and go over plays in order to better understand them in real time. There will be a surprise at quarterback next week.

There’s nothing in Central Illinois, which is a challenge to Rochester. SHG is down this year.
