Palatine has the horses. The running back is good. Very fast, and running tougher this year. Both WRs can change the game. Not speedsters, but just really good football players.
I’m sure York has the horses too, having gone 9-0 in the tougher side of the WSC. That league is representing well in November. QB is an athlete.
My worry, from Palatine’s side, is their propensity to play less than stellar for long stretches. Last year versus Taft and Neuqua… this year versus DGS. 3 of the last 4 playoff games have been uninspiring. We’ll see.
This matchup is just one skinny point away from being 11-0 versus 11-0. Yet it’s still the quad getting the least respect in 8A, with blue bloods everywhere else in the bracket. Should be an even matchup. I’ll stick with the boys I’ve watched all year, and take Palatine 26-21.
