MC vs SR Part 105
- Thread starter McCaravan
- Start date
One of the things I like about them Caravan is that if Elliott fails to connect with a receiver, he will go back to the same receiver on the next play or the next. Another is that Jordan Lynch is damn near a football wizard.

Congrats to the Caravan on their dominant victory. I don't think many people had SR reaching the semifinals this year.
In all, a great year. Good luck next week!
Positive side: MC is in 8A for a couple of years, so Rita will avoid them in the playoffs.

Tip of the cap to you Rita fans. Nobody expected the game to go that way, I felt that my prediction was very likely at 27-17, it was just one of those games. Hats off to MC coaches for an excellent game plan offensively and defensively. And again to SR you guys had a great season. People may have forgot that you lost your # 1 receiver to Br. Rice in Jimmy Maxson and your # 2 receiver, whose name escapes me, Sam something, to Rich Township. You also had a top OL transfer to Rich Township and last year you lost that top DB to Kankakee who would have been a senior this year.....and you still made it to the Semifinals!! That's farther then the school Maxson left you for by 3 rounds! Be proud of what you accomplished. Rita isn't going anywhere and with MC going to 8A, Rita can be the team to beat in 7A the next couple years with the talent they have in the building. MC, don't lose that moxy you had today, keep this going and finish as Champions!!!! We are.....MC!!!
Very classy post, McCaravan. Thank you! I had no idea SR lost four key players in the last few years.
I do have a question: what specifically happened here? You think Rita was too confident? Aside from MC being just so damn prepared that nothing was going to stop them, was there anything else that contributed to this blowout? Like you, I thought it was going to be closer. More dominant line play? You think SR put a lot of energy into that Quincy game. Just looking for an answer.
As of this present time, SR could be even better next year.

I really think they should’ve ran the formation they had with JBuck single back with Herman at the slot or both in backfield and attacking the perimeter. They were moving the ball when that happened and they stopped utilizing that after they got down 14-0. They shouldn’t have abandoned that. Keep your best athletes out on the field at all times!
I assume the following:
Week1: ?
at MC
vs BR
vs SF
at Don
at Naz
vs Leo
at St. Patrick
at IC
His time gets to be dedicated mostly to football instead of splitting time in the classroom like almost all high school coaches. An understated advantage for MC
I'll have to watch the game again Witty and give you a better answer. To quote Ron Burgandy "Boy that escalated quickly!" It was 7-0 after 1 and then it was 43-0 at half. Off the top of my head I don't understand why Buckner wasn't used offensively more. Everytime he seemed to run the ball this year he ran well. Him and Herman could have been a good Thunder and Lightning combo. This wasn't one of Armbrusters better games, he forced a lot of throws, some were just panic throws. Before the pick 6 there was 3 other throws that could have been pick 6's that MC dropped. After watching film of MC this year, like against Loyola and Normal I think they maybe thought it was going to be easier for them to get yards, but MC made a defensive alignment adjustment that really played into SR's offense well so kudos to Coach O'B and his defensive crew.
Defensively going man to man with MC's receivers is a risk. Burrell and Thorton are 6'3 and very athletic, it's tough to cover them 1 on 1 especially with Elliott at QB.
Besides MC, Rita, Rice, and Marist all have head coaches that are not in the classroom. And that’s off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.
I wouldn't know about the other three. I know Rita's previous coach was and Marist's was at York. I know he got quite the deal to leave York. There may be more, that is still a definite advantage. Especially over public school coaches
By the way, I just find this disappointing over anything else. I think all high school coaches should be in the classroom or at least in administration where they are constantly in contact with students.
Being in the classroom and being constantly in contact with students are two VERY different things. I’m in the building. I know.
I'm aware of this as well. As you then should know, not being either of those things is an entirely different subset.
Why do you think the head coaches are not constantly in contact with the kids? Of course they are. They are in the building the entire day.
