Thoughts......Trap game for Hollywood? Mental let down after the hype of the LWE game? Or York under rated thrives in the role of underdog and plays free and easy and takes down the team that knocked them out the last two years for payback? I thought York gave them an excellent if not a better game then LWE (did in the finals) in the semi's last year to be honest! York O-line is huge and D-Line anchored by the ND recruit. QB super fast and RB pretty impressive. York is very good. I think this will be a close game for sure !

I heard from my cousins wife's neighbors best friend that LA thinks York is soft! Easy win for the Ramblers!
I, too, thought about the possibility of a trap game, but I then I discarded it.
If this were the regular season, perhaps it could be a trap game for Loyola after a big win. But we are talking about the final game for all the marbles. I gotta believe that Loyola will be stoked to be in the championship game. If they aren't up for this game, then they deserve to lose it.
I am definitely looking forward to this game. During the regular season, Loyola beat GBW by 35 and York beat them by 10. Loyola beat LWE by 3, East beat NC by 21, and NC lost to York by 5. I realize that the common opponent comparison isn't always all that reliable and should not be given too much weight. Then there is Loyola beating York the last two years as you pointed out. Is that more of a motivation for York to get revenge or perhaps it's in their head that Loyola just has their number? Then there is the been there, done that factor. How much will experience come into play for a Loyola program that is making its third straight appearance in the championship game (with many current Ramblers playing in or being at those previous games), versus a York program making its first ever title game appearance?

LA has played four quarter games all year. Obviously they are a private school and they play those types of teams. It's fair to them they play those types of teams and they play the best competition. They get to have those games in the regular season where they play four quarters against the best teams in the state. LA will be fine. Victorious by 3+ scores.
I would advise anyone trying to make any predictions for Loyola vs York to NOT use this comparison. ESL rested several starters against Edwardsville in preparation to face IMG the following week. This occurred in other conference games as well. Beyond that, ESL and Edwardsville are conference rivals that are acclimated to each other’s tendencies. In contrast, we were fully loaded for Loyola. But if anyone so insists, go right ahead and disregard my caution.
