Batavia at New Lenox Lincoln -Way Central

[WIU78]

Batavia visited the other New Lenox school and arrived late beating Lincoln-Way West. Having seen LW Central early in the year live vs. yet another New Lenox school..Providence, and left with questions about the Knights. I know there were injuries at that time for LWC and have seen a ton of improvement in later game films. Can LWC compete with Batavia in this one?

If LWC can continue to cause confusion with all their different run formations and chew up the clock on the ground, they have a chance. That said, when Woodburn has had to make plays in the air, he's been pretty successful. I think LWC has an underrated passing game. But their bread and butter is run run run with Tingley and Tulk.

Batavia I think will learn from the LWW game. They got punched in the mouth but responded (and took fortune to LWW changing their gameplan 2nd half for some reason). If they are ready to go from opening whistle and make the Knights really one-dimensional, I think they win. Would hope they spread LWC D out with a good spacing pass game. I see LWC being susceptible to being hurt that way.

To me this game could really go either way. Could see a very close game, could also see Batavia handling it well. Wouldn't be shocked one bit if LWC wins.

From a purely objective standpoint, I feel like if Batavia plays its game it will be very difficult, but still possible for LWC to win. Batavia is the heavy favorite. Interestingly to me, if you asked me the same question before the LWW game I wouldn't give you the same answer. They have become much more dangerous on offensive with their soph QB throwing darts and they seem to have hit their stride on defense as well. The first half of the LWW game seemed to be a real turning point
