5A Title game

[wasdo]

I'm hoping for a good competitive game ,,,,but it could get ugly, who will walk to their cars with their heads down?

The only way you would have any people "who will walk to their cars with their heads down" is if JCA wins Saturday.

If JCA loses - their fans will still be very proud of what this team has accomplished.

But maybe Montini fans are the same way this year, IDK.

Speaking for myself, I was glad to see them get 5 wins.

Speaking for myself, I was glad to see them get 5 wins.

The pre-season goals I heard from the JCA coaching staff:
1) squeeze out a 5th win from a tough 9 game schedule (done)
2) make a little noise in 5A (done)

 

[Wassup13]

No need for any of these teams to have their heads down after the game. I did not think either would make the playoffs with their tough schedules at the beginning of the year.

For Montini so far...

This was their first team to beat Loyola.

They went 3-1 in the CCL Blue in their first year in the blue.

They played in the CCL Championship game.

It's been a great year for both teams regardless of what happens Saturday.

I was concerned MCHS wouldn't get to 5 wins this year so everything past week 9 is a gift. Enjoying the young upstarts and the future looks bright on 16th Street for the next few years.

 

[Simon "GHOST' Riley]

Montini wins big

Agreed. Montini 41-14. Montini's defense is just to good.

 

[Alexander32]

Do people actually put any stock in the CalPreps “simulations”?

As far as predictions go, they have proven to be quite good.

Interesting how the comments from both coaches mirror what has been said in this thread:

And people say the coaches don't pay attention to message board comments. Ha

JCA is certainly a very good football of late, but Montini wins. Special teams will decide game. No score prediction but if JCA gets down and has to go to the air, it will not be close.

 

[Cat Box]

Excited to watch these two running backs turn it loose in the title game.

Let’s go!

 

[Cat Box]

Love those classic JCA uniforms.

 

[crusader_of_90]

This is gonna be a good game.

 

[Cat Box]

My goodness that JCA Oline is impressive!

 

[eagles2k3]

Good start. Also, is that head ref Chris head former Westinghouse basketball coach?

 

[eagles2k3]

My goodness that JCA Oline is impressive!

They are massive. RBs are solid but the line is what’s getting it done.

 

[crusader_of_90]

At first I thought you meant the official behind the linebackers.

 

[McCaravan]

Over/Under on combined rushing yards currently at 650

 

[crusader_of_90]

Over

 

[Cross Bones]

gonna be a long morning...

 

[crusader_of_90]

I hope this does not slip away - I just reheated some ham and I’m wanting four good games today, dammit!

 

[USD24]

Hailey out for JCA. That is really too bad.

 

[JCHillmen]

Hailey out for JCA. That is really too bad.

Iannantone can carry the load. But it obviously hurts to not have both options. What happened to J Mack number 4? He was the starting wingback and didn't play last week and haven't seen him this week either. Injury?

 

[stripes13]

That guy is legit one of the best officials in this state.

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

The Hillmen are a little out-gunned by a powerful Montini team and with the loss of Keenan Hailey, well....

Let's hope JCA can find a way to stay close.

Yes. Looked like a knee injury.

 

[JCHillmen]

Yes. Looked like a knee injury.

Man. Mack, Williams, green, and now hailey. 4 running backs lost this season.

 

[epicbret]

Great game this far.

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

Clearly the two best 5A teams but not sure this is a “great” game

 

[Cross Bones]

defenses picked up where they left off last time they played in the 'ship.

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

Looks like it. It sure either offense is of the same level they were a few years back.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Where in the field would YOU go for it on 4rh down with two minutes left?

Moot point now.

 

[RockSoup]

They also have a tangible plus. Line size and ability. In this 7 on 7 generation of football, JCA size upfront and pad level equalizes many other teams skill positions. Does that translate to the championship game enough to matter? I’ve seen both teams play plenty, still not confident yet to predict score.

Bump

 

[Cross Bones]

gotta admire the kid's guts

 

[4hhsbulldogs]

Always nice to score. But it leaves the door open for Montini.

 

[crusader_of_90]

The QUICK TD gives Montini life.

 

[Cross Bones]

JCA should knock the ball out of the refs hands lol

 

[crusader_of_90]

Full Troll Mode today, Bones.

 

[Cross Bones]

Full Troll Mode today, Bones.

If I ever coach again I'm adding it to the playbook
