Put your 5 harness seatbelts on folks, should be an interesting battle!!
Morris vs jca
- Thread starter rjjtwest
- Start date
Round 11 I believe.....if you count the 2 regular season matchups
How fast do you think this game is gonna sellout?! Lmao
I heard Dergo is doing the coin toss.
Game will be at Morris
Initial thoughts on this one? Is JCA healthy coming into the game? Pretty much a guarantee this will be Saturday, I hope it's a night game so more people have the chance to catch this one.
Not much point in diving into the X's and O's too much as each team knows what the other brings to the table at this point.
I think the SHG game will be beneficial for Morris going forward as it's the first time they've really been tested all year. Sycamore was a close game but Morris jumped out early and the game wasn't really ever in doubt. The reason this game was so close was because Morris hadn't played a team that throws every down but with JCA being a more traditional team I see this being a typical hard nosed physical game and will likely be decided by a TD or less in either direction.

My two cents: JCA needs to play a clean game by limiting the turnovers and penalties. In JCA’s three losses, they led each game by ten or more points, but made key turnovers and penalties which really hurt them.
Morris will challenge the JCA defense, especially with their pass game. Morris QB is very good and has a nice group of skill weapons.
How healthy is Morris? Can JCA play a relatively clean game? Who wins battle at the LOS? Should be a good one.

Morris isn't HF...LOL.....They'll sell all the tickets they can.
I count 8 playoff meetings starting in 1990. When did they ever play in the regular season? It's got to be ions ago.
TBD on Morris' health. The biggest question mark will be RB Swartz and how serious his arm/shoulder injury is. Other than that I think they should be in good shape.
I think Morris' front 7 will be the biggest factor. If they can slow down the JCA run game they have a better chance.
LOL, no it was 2006 and 2007. Morris won in the playoffs in 2005 and then in the regular season and playoffs in 2006. Someone said it was the first time a team beat JCA 3 consecutive times in one calendar year.
2006 and 2007.....Morris actually beat JCA 3 times in a row...2005 playoffs...2006 regular season and playoffs...JCA whipped up on Morris in 2007 reg. season
This season's JCA squad suffers a little bit from "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" sometimes they look unbeatable and sometimes, not so much. Their play calling also has been suffering from "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" but has been pretty good the last few weeks.
JCA's front 7 defensively is extremely physical and good. Their O-line is a typical JCA line, big and strong. But their Offensive skill players are not so much your typical JCA backfield. This backfield is based more on skill, athleticism and speed.
I'm not completely in the know, but JCA is pretty heathy with maybe 2-3 players a little dinged up.
I heard Morris may have lost one of their best RBs, that would be unfortunate.
Overall I think it will be a great game.
I must be getting old, as those regular season matchups have me drawing a total blank. L O L
If I remember right both JCA and Morris were having trouble getting games, so Sharp and Dergo agreed to play each other.
I need to find out if that was actually Divetwin at todays game that Ratsy saw....would be great to see him again.....I was not at the game myself....a long weekend down on Captiva for me....but I'll be back home Monday...
All.... Both play " so so.". "So"whoever plays less then that wins. The rodent sighning off. Ratsy
Is this a potential rerun of arguably greatest game in IHSA history of JCA and R-B at The Zoo?
Yeah, as far as I know his practice is still in Morris.
Of the multiple great games JCA and Morris have played against each other you choose a different game to compare it to?
Also, no. Neither team has that type of offensive weaponry or lack of defense.
on my ride home I talked to my brothers uncles sons girlfriend who heard from somebody on the team that since the Morris Rb is injured a pretty good running back from the scout team is going to take his place this weekend. They said his name is Juan Dereago and he wears jersey number 5 so that may be the difference maker.
You can reverse the teams and say the same thing.
true. Joliet Catholic has a pretty good kicker so if it's a close game he can be the difference.
Good lord, go to bed man. Stop hijacking threads. You already made Edgy repost the quarterfinal date and time thread because you can't follow instructions. There's enough Morris and JCA fans in the know who can discuss and analyze the game without you chiming in with whatever this is.
Delete your account.
If only that were true
Based on how well the CCL-ESCC has been doing in the playoffs, I like JCA by at least 2 touchdowns. Strength of schedule matters come playoff time.
So you ignite the dumpster fire and decide to back out, come on man finish strong!!💪
While yes JC has had the better schedule and usually does these 2 are no strangers to each other so to speak. Just based on past history between the 2 teams If memory serves correct there has only been 1 game between them that has been by more than 2 scores. I could very well be wrong. I would say a 10 point game in either direction is a fair assessment right now.
Maybe you'd be better suited for the flag football free board
There's not even anything to really take personal you just hijack threads and completely change the subject. It started on the Morris/SHG thread and you brought it here completely unprovoked.
Skins fan here. Morris has to be perfect in all 3 phases of the game if they are going to win.
There is a saying in sports “don’t believe the hype” but I can say it does not apply here as these have always been big, big games.
Many of the boys playing in Saturday’s game, and likely many of their parents, have little or no memory/experience of/with this rivalry.
After doing some digging, below is what I found; this Internet thing is really something!
This will be the 12th game of the rivalry with the Hilltoppers leading the series 7-4.
I believe I have seen 10 of the 11 games, so I have added my partisan commentary.
Yes, the ghost of John Dergo remains a haunting memory.
