Benet 16 @ St. Rita 37 Final

[septon34]

Marica might not be happy but 27-3 in the second half vs a 6-1 team ain’t too shabby

I like this team. Have some of that 63rd and claremont street fighter in them

Laurence, delasalle, marian, iggy, moline, Naperville north, and crushed by Loyola.
6-1 little less exciting when its laid out.

2nd half at Providence and the 2nd half tonight were a pleasure to watch.

That Laurence that beat Rice by 2 scores on the road?

 

[Marica]

Never said not happy. They win it, there will be a ring in my house.
Just saying that it may work out for them better being in 5a than 7a. Cause i dont think they're a 7a deep run team, unless the bracket set up really well.
Next week be a test. Nd only gave up 7 to Naz offense.

 

[Marica]

That Laurence that beat Rice by 2 scores on the road?

Yes that Rice team with a sophomore qb. And Laurence is a 5a team.

 

[mchsalumni]

Lucky they're in 5a, cause a run in 7a probably wouldn't happen way they looked tonight 21 point win or not.

Calm down tough guy...

 

[Marica]

That was a tough guy statement?

 

[septon34]

Did u graduate from Rice with a kid who went to SR?

 

[mchsalumni]

That was a tough guy statement?

My guess is you didn’t play football or have no idea what you are talking about. Dissing 5A is a real tough guy move. Keep it up.

 

[Queen4]

I’m hoping this isn’t a rice guy talking garbage.

We just lost to st. Laurence and are banned from posting till after the Mt Carmel game.

Congrats on a solid win Rock.

From top to bottom is 5a as strong as 7a? I would say no so that would mean that 5a would be easier than winning 7a. Doesnt mean teams from 5a couldn't beat 7a teams.

 

[Chicago773]

I am not even assuming a run in 5a. The fact that 5a has north/south brackets makes it very likely Rita will probably see Bronco early or very early in the playoffs, nothing is guaranteed.

based off history it will be early

 

[RockSoup]

Sitting at 1-3, a lot of people thought SR had a slim shot at making the playoffs with PC, Benet, and ND left on the schedule.

All they did was beat PC on the road by 3 tds and then Benet by 3 tds after losing a D1 WR/DB for the season.

Sorry, too happy and proud to be down!

 

[Marica]

Did u graduate from Rice with a kid who went to SR?

No not a Rice guy.
So then everyone thinks they could win 7a this year, where they normally are?

Sounds like a Rice guy talking tough from those mean streets of 99th and Pulaski

 

[Chicago773]

Benet is average at best and I didnt think rita handled them like a top team should.
Rita has no passing game, granted with brown dont always need one. But haven't seen a glimpse of one all year. Eventually big time teams will handle the run, next week against nd defense be interesting.

passing game needs major work, no receiving threats, brown moved to WR and got targeted every time. need to let #25 run more and move Brown around.

You are correct and they did in the 2nd half

Agree. If Wilson comes back healthy, next year could be special

Us rice faithful are not claiming him.

Sounds like he just walked in from an extended happy hour.

Queen, you’re solid

 

[Chicago773]

Junior QB throw a pass that got deflected and intercepted at the goal line and that was the end of his night.

if you have two QBs you have none! Soph is shifty as a runner, that 15yd scramble for a loss was ugly, should've thrown away

Wholeheartedly agree with this. I could be wrong, but I think all of Rita's opponents this year will make the playoffs? Yes, both Marian's are down but playoff bound, I think.

The young 'Stangs could have folded after the Montini debacle, but the coaching staff led by TK did not allow it to happen. Kudos to the coaching staff. If SR beats NND, that will say a lot because that is a solid team.

 

[Queen4]

Queen, you’re solid

The way I look at it is there is 1 more week to compete against fellow CCL members.

Then I’m all for CCL teams making deep runs in the playoffs. No need to down grade Rita if you re a rice fan. We don’t even play each other.

 

[RockSoup]

And he also threw a 20yd TD dime on 4th and 7 with the game still hanging in the balance

That adage does not necessarily apply in high school.

I’m just sitting here wondering if I watched the same game as some of the other posters

All should be rooting for each other in the end, until a matchup occurs, of course. We got JCA-Bronco-SR-SL in 5a. PC in 6a. MC-Naz-Benet in 7a and the Rambler-Don-BR-Marist in 8a. A nice blend here. Sorry if I missed anyone. Is the Marist-BR hate to strong to root for one another?

RS--how did the lines perform?

Well done Mustangs, looking forward to the rematch!

I hope it's later than earlier, but we shall see.

100% accurate and yes. The rivalry is to strong to root for one another.

Growing pains will occur, but this is encouraging.

 

[Chicago773]

Agree. If Wilson comes back healthy, next year could be special

would be nice if a 6'2 WR magically popped up. current crop appears to be a bunch of jet sweep/slot types

 

[RockSoup]

RS--how did the lines perform?

Tale of two halves. Benet flowed real well to the ball, kept containment and wrapped up. O-line gutted it out. D-line looked good in first half, great in 2nd half.

Benet scored their 2 TDS on two post patterns. 1st looked like a blown coverage and 2nd was a half back option that was well-executed. Benet QB throws a nice ball and is tough.

 

[Chicago773]

100% accurate and yes. The rivalry is to strong to root for one another.

for bracket purposes would you rather be 5-4 or 6-3???? north/south bracket sucks

 

[Marica]

Depends on the draw. Get a cps week 1, strike or not should be a win. Get Hillcrest things be little tougher.

Queens a rice guy and 7A is seeded 1-32

 

[McCaravan]

Didn’t know Rita was having a QB battle.....

 

[Queen4]

6-3 with a win at Carmel any day.

Play to win and beat the best teams not skate your way through the playoffs.

Then you end up playing Loyola in the state final and losing 38-0
