5A Game: Nazareth Academy 37 Peoria 30. 400 3Q

I’m not sure if the gravy had too much salt or if you truly made a mistake. Either way you said that wrong…5-4 playing up a class or two or THREE and 5-0 against the teams they should be playing.
 
The offensive and defensive coaching or play calling on Peoria's part was good all day. The complete lack of a kicking game was the difference in this game in my mind. The on-side kicks left Naz in great field position all day. I don't think anyone would argue that Peoria had great athletes.
 
5-4 against teams they should be playing against. 5-0 in playoffs playing down a class or two
Naz is multiplied up to 5A this season. They won 4 playoff games in the 2019-2020 cycle. The reason they were in 7A in 2019 was because of the success factor. They were “success factored” up 2 classes in 2019. That obviously went away when they didn’t win a trophy in the 2020 or 2021 seasons and are now back to their original multiplied enrollment class.

No matter what, a 5-4 team winning the state championship is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations to Nazareth!
 
Peoria does not sustain blocks. The FB #40 is supposed to lead block for Washington but I don’t think he’s actually hit anybody all day. That last conversion he ran right past two defenders and on into the end zone. Left Washington on his own.
What a stupid post. I’ve broken down a lot of Peoria film this week and #40 is a huge difference maker in that offense. I didn’t focus on the FB today but to say Peoria did a poor job blocking is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read on this board, and that’s saying a lot.

Congrats to Peoria on a great season and an unbelievably well played game today. They would rather have the trophy but they earned a ton of respect from me and many others.

Naz has won in 5a, 6a and 7a. Spare me. Tell us where we’re going and we’ll be there.
We? Aw here we go again. You think SHG from last night would lose to this Naz team this year? You know the one that played today? Not taking about past years or we, yesterdays SHG, yesterday as in last nights 4A game against Naz today. The one that just played. THATs what I was referring to. Was really hoping I wouldn’t have to explain that.

Wasn't SHG losing late in 2nd half of 2 playoff games in 4a?

All I said was Naz should feel fortunate to be in 5a as I thought SHG was better. And somehow this became a historical indictment. And you still haven’t answered the question. Cool cool. I hope we are enjoying we’s title.

The moment you start talking down to people is the moment you can expect your questions to become hypothetical.

If that’s your take then I apologize as that’s not or was not my purpose of the post. I was making a rather simple point that I think SHG is better and had Naz been in 4A they wouldn’t have won a title. Hope that clears it up.

I expect alot more from you. Pulling this card?
 
Go back and watch that last PAT. FB ran between two defenders and into the end zone. Those two defenders stopped Washington short. Take on one of them and Washington beats the other no doubt. That sort of thing happened throughout the game
 
2025 will be the first year that there is no scholarship money earmarked for the NCAA Covid rule (automatic 5th year eligibility, guaranteed 6th year of education expenses). Until then, a lot of very good football players will not be able to get what they could in a ‘normal’ budget year
