LWE 24 LA 27 final

Props to LA on a huge victory. LWE is one of the best programs in the state with a dynamic team this year. LA had some adversity, and came through with this impressive victory.

I know LA is probably a double-digit favorite against Duke, but do not take them lightly at all. Sometimes, after a big win where so much energy was used, the following week a team can go flat. And York is very resilient--just like the LA program.
 
I don’t know anyone who follows LWE regularly would have made that statement this season Rambler.

They are looking unbeatable this year especially on offense. Defense is a little behind the normal tough LWE defense. The 2nd half adjustments are fantastic. The Griffins have scored 49 points in Each of there 3 games along with the Florida forfeit they are 4-0. IMO they are better than the past two years.

This one feels like a “if they don’t get em now they won’t ever get em,” game for East. As much as Loyola fans won’t want to admit it, East is much better than this years Loyola team. What that means next weekend? Nothing. East should win

This is not the normal LA team from years past. Offense is super bland. They should let Bliss call the plays. Anyway if the MS defense can stop them for a half I feel like Beast should be able to do it for the whole game. Score should be 42-14 Beast but I think it will be more like a two score game. Please end this reign of terror!

As far as the game next week, my guess would be the BEAST by 3 scores.

Adding tangentially related prediction just because the Loyola stands looked pretty packed to me

I believe the Loyola folks are waiting to head south to see a game only on November 30. Since there is no Wally’s in Frankfort they will wait to stop in Pontiac on the way to ISU. I would say the crowd on the visitors side will be less than 300 folks. The Griffins are just another irritant on the path.


feel free to search LWE on the board and see many instances of people who pay attention pointing out that LWE managed to find some superior talent in their zip code this year

Hollywood.....the gauntlet continues..... ( My apologies for the airhorn.....that really should be stopped....LA fans do something !) Jonas is the real deal and was as advertised....for sure. LA offensive / defensive lines took over in the second half. LA was able to run the ball all game. The LA O-Line "up-down" to draw the LWE line off-side to seal the victory ( and not give Jonas the ball back for a possible FG/TD which in 56 seconds was a possibility with him at the helm ..... is poetic justice. If you where at the LWE / LA state championship game the last time LWE won (2017) - when they had Henning - LWE did the same O-line "up-down" on LA to keep a critical drive alive and If I remember Henning scored like a play or two later to seal the deal for LWE. The fact LA could run the ball and chew clock kept Jonas off the field. Can't score if you are not on the field. Anyways - York awaits - and I am sure they they remember the last two times the played LA ...and lost. Hopefully LA can stay focus and remember it ain't over till it's over. There are no freebie's this late in playoff's. PS - I still feel bad for Marist - easily a semi-final team. Would have been interesting to see Ritter play against his old team with the Marist O-Line which was pretty impressive. I think they would have given LWE a run for their money as well. Great game for both sides and LWE will be back - Jonas is a junior and I am sure ....will be even better next year.

@WIU78 they should’ve stayed home and listened to you.
 
Tried and the Florida School bailed last minute. I agree TigerforFlyers. LWE doesn’t have a lot of options with the chaos in conference shuffles in the south and west suburbs still not settled. We miss the old SICA conferences.
Hopefully not for better in-conference competition. The best records this season for LWE opponents within their own league were by NC (11-2) and NN (7-3), both never-SICA schools.
 
I did not know Talon White transferred in from Marist as well - so Ritter goes to Marist (when Jonas comes to LWE from Bolingbrook) and White shows up as a new target for Jonas to throw too....nice.....makes a little more sense now. One last question - on the on-side kick i felt one - LWE touched the ball before the 10 yards - which is illegal - ? Did anyone see it on TV and replay it........LA came up with it ...but to me it look like LWE touched it before 10 yards ? (not that it matters now..!)

But the private schools recruit…..
 
  • Wow
Reactions: gobears25
They are "private" schools - we recruit all of our students - not just football players.....that is why they are called "private schools' ! Ha!
 
Which additional zip codes?
Jonas Williams and talon white are definitely home-grown, Frankfort-born talents. Lincoln way didn’t do what they accuse the Catholic league of doing or anything and still lose. Nothing like that!

This was the first time that LWE couldn’t bully a team…

A harder in season schedule may have really helped them in this game

Williams is a legit stud

Loyala might have the best coaching staff in the state
They’ve got 2 D1 coaches !

Was I wrong? Okay the 2nd half adjustments weren’t good in this game but they were in all previous games. It happens stop being a douche. The Ramblers were the better team move on.
