Bro Rice 0 v Warren 28 FINAL

[Marque89]

Here’s the thing, it was a tale of 2 Halves. Rice won the first half but lost the scoreboard. And controlled field position. But Warren, after a couple attempts knew if they threw the screen they could succeed as Rice had isolation with no back up. Rice snuffed a few times but all it takes is one move or missed tackle and you are in the clear. Bam big gainer. And TD.

The second half Warren controlled the field position and they could see that they could not run against Rice and utilized the screen again. Lots of 3 and outs. 3rd and 29 they get a break and a fumble, and as they recover the fumble and advance and fumble again get a recovery for a TD .. that was the game.

Rice played valiantly but Warren’s defense was the difference maker. I’ve watched HS football a LOOOOONG time and that defense is the best I’ve ever seen up close and personal. Hats off to the Blue Devils, your revenge tour keeps on keeping on and you are as good as advertised. To my Rice kids, nice season and way to advance as far as you did. If anyone saw the game like I did the 28-0 score was not indicative of the whole game. Hard fought, respectful (minimal flags) and the better team won.

I think I said in another thread there were 6 teams that would have beaten Rice on the other side of that half of the bracket. I was wrong, but I don't think they beat: Warren, LWE, HF, BB, NV, LA, GBW, and MS.

It'll be interesting to see what Warren does with AJ.

Six of 'em?

 

[Bowie50]

Warren vs LWE great game.Not sure who the favorite is?

I don’t know either but this game may be the best 8A game ever!

Warren's second touchdown was a joke. Play was dead. Badke again outcoached in a big game.

Come on. Seriously? Give the guy a break. He’s been to the championship game and a semi in consecutive years. I hope your as successful in your chosen trade.

 

[dweise]

Badke running the ball right at Singleton several times in the second half. They had success on the outside in the first half away from Singleton. Warren certainly the toughest defense Rice saw all year. Tough task for Rice's young offense an hour away from home. Shaw is a P5 back.

 

[ckclassof2000]

Rice benefited from a great draw to get this far.

agree MC- rice has a very favorable draw

Was curious. Couple times in the first half Rice got inside the 30 and never gave Shaw the ball. Kid is an absolute star and will be a major D1 kid before he’s done.

he’s clearly the best threat on offense and yet inside the 30 he was nowhere to be found

he has been in his chosen trade much longer than I. (I didn't chose my trade). He clearly has trouble making adjustments sometimes.

I'm a Brother Rice football fan regardless of their success. Always will be.

 

[EdgyTim]

They definitely do
And yes I agree the best teams won

You really think they wouldn't want the BR/Marist gate next Saturday night?

He's great. That ball he dropped along the Rice sideline in the 3rd quarter... was he gone if he caught that? Looked like it from my angle but I had a hard time seeing as I got there late and was standing along the track in front of the concession stand.

By taking a job because you need one and not necessarily liking it...

Sometimes we end up in jobs that we just end up in. I’d prefer to say thank you to guys like Badke for what they do for very little money and far too much bullshit from guys that think they know football more than they actually do. Wasn’t long ago that people thought BR would be watching the playoffs from the sidelines and turning down a Prep Bowl offer. The future looks bright from my view. Go Crusaders!!

Ohhhh. Yes. Yes. Good luck!

I followed the advice of Ty Webb. “Danny the world needs ditch diggers” I took the one less travelled and that has made all the difference.

You’re making way too much sense.

Rice returned 3 starters jones, Jefferson , Iraci from a 8a runner up team.

They win 8 games starting 15 underclassmen.

They battled their tails off tonight.

When did you get BR confused with MC and Loyola.

Badke has brought in the talent and the future is bright.

No one has said anything about or alluded to MC or Loyola.

I muttered the words "we'll be back" to my buddy as we left.

Not as much as the bar owners in Dekalb would have!!

 

[dweise]

A parlay of BR money line and Marist money line today should've paid out +1500. Was never going to happen.

Did you do it with a thick Austrian accent?

I hear ya. Congrats on a good season. Lasted much longer than mine.

No chance edgy
When has the IHSA been pro catholic

But the IHSA had nothing to do with your loss today.

Well they pretty much got rid of the multiplier for most teams. Now you just need a two year stretch of not much playoff success to drop down two or 3 classes, instead of five years without winning. That helps catholic schools.

 

[MC63]

I think Rice turned around a season that was in jeopardy and made a great run through the playoffs. Running into a buzzsaw doesn't diminish the job those kids did. They acquitted themselves very well over the season.

I'm looking forward to pizza at Roseangela's on a late Friday afternoon next Fall and then, a quick drive west on 99th street to my favorite parking spot.

I got you this time, Krock.

Warren wins this game 7/10 times. Everyone there knew after we were inside their 30 three or four times in the first half and came away with 0 points that we were in trouble.

Badke doesn’t call the plays, so I didn’t see anything that can be perceived as Badke being outcoached tonight.

How many fire Pace/Nagy/Trubisky tweets do you have on your personal Twitter account? Lol. We were outmatched and needed to play damn near perfect. We did not, and that’s life!

Bolingbrook was on their side of the bracket.

Complete non-sense ihsa doesn’t care who gets there - the two best teams in 8a are there and will make for a great game - if it ended up Rice/Marist the get money would have been huge for the IHSA.

You guys are in fantasy land.
IHSA wants Catholic schools to go away more then anything. It’s always been like this .

You must be on a hell of a bender.

Do you really think the IHSA has anything to do with the 8A outcomes? If they were so worried about 8A they must have forgotten about 5A and 7A

 

[krock the house]

Sober as a judge.
I’m in shock that you guys think the IHSA likes dealing with catholic schools.
It is what it is but that’s the reality.
Do you know who runs the IHSA and this goes back to the earlier 70s

 

[krock the house]

I never said they have anything to do with outcomes
My point is they would rather public schools win then catholic schools and that’s a fact
Has been since state started In the 70s.

I don’t understand how the topic got on the IHSA and not liking Catholic schools? The BR & Marist lost to better teams. I know a lot of the private guys we’re rooting for them, some saying how cool it would be if the catholics had a clean sweep. It was posted in another thread. I believe the two best teams won and deserve to be in the final. I also believe the two teams that lost should hold their heads high as they are also very good and have a bright futures. Remember someone has to lose. It sucks I get it.

Great post Corey! Good luck to the Griffins!
