Peoria Notre Dame 59 Rochester 58 … “Houston, we have a problem”

Who is the favorite in 4a now?

Maybe Byron wants to move up a class?
 
Some observations:

1) Why play the D-Line so tight against the wing T? By the time Buecker and crew figured that out and widened out, it was too late.

2) Defense wins championships as Rochester displayed last year....and apparently forgot, this year.

3) I'm interested to see if anyone in 4A South (or all of 4A for that matter) can stop PND's offense.

4) All credit to the play calling of PND! They played the perfect game. Good luck going forward, but cut out the dirty play. One of your cheap shots resulted in a kid getting a broken collar bone. Be better!

5) Big 12 > CS8...apparently

6) Rockets should hold their heads high. They played through lots of adversity this year. Their best days are coming.

7) Basketball season is here. The CS8 shouldn't sleep on the Rockets this year...they should be fun to watch.

And cornerrat for that matter, who I presume after beating Mahomet is 7 sheets to the wind laughing hysterically.
I’m right here. And you are correct, I do not know how to act when my squad loses a game in the first round. So I will defer to everyone else here to tell us how to manage the next 9 months
 
Better defense is played in the NBA All-Star game!
Do I smell a @cornerrat
All.... Please good sir a prompt I don't need. But since you asked. The football Gods can only take so much misbehaving and the program not standing up doing the right thing. The latest and third strike without an appropriate penalty (imposed or self administered) could not be ignored. Ratsy

Battled through adversity but brought some of that adversity on themselves.

I was surprised by the lack of defense by the Rockets. PND played hard and the 41 yd FG at the end of regulation a great kick.

Don’t count out Breese.
Their path got easier.
Wasn’t super impressed by Cahokia’s performance tonight.
Cahokia is likely to travel to Waterloo next week and I foresee that as a pretty competitive game. Whoever wins that one is my pick to at least reach the semis.

Yea it will be. Waterloo is very well coached and runs a deliberate game, something Cahokia hasn’t seen this year with their schedule. On paper I like the Comanches.
 
Here is the cheap shot that broke Mason Jacobs' collar bone.

Here is the cheap shot that broke Mason Jacobs' collar bone.

aside from the announcer and mom calling this a block in the back on a defensive player, since mom is trying to drag a viral hate mob on a 15-18 year old kid (expose the player, her words) for something that happened in the first 2.5 seconds of a contact football play between the whistles, why not consider it from the defensive perspective.

the play in the video is the "modern day triple option", with the three options being: give the zone, qb keep, or qb throw the bubble on the run. It's run here almost exactly as we seen frequently now in the NFL and college. see here for a video of the play going to the third option (the bubble). the play is intended to cause the olb to bite either on the zone or qb run, opening up a lane for the bubble option, a lane which you can see at :08 timestamp.

The qb and two receivers are playing out the second and third option. i see #2 blocking #22, and in #22s line of sight until tenths of a second before the collision. you can see rockets #2 with his hands still on #22 with :08 timestamp, and the contact occurs within the :08 timestamp, the same second.

when the rockets were prepping for PND, who seems to run mostly old school triple option variation, do you think they were teaching the players to tackle their responsibility (dive qb pitch) on every play, rather than trying to figure out who had the ball? that's the way everyone i've ever heard of teaches to play triple option. every play, get the dive, the qb, and the pitch on the ground. was rochester not tackling the dive back when he didn't have the ball? again, less than 1 second elapses between the corner escaping the block and the hit.

Curious...what were the first two strikes that went unpunished? The only ones I can think of you are referring to are:

1) The football moms buying two disadvantaged kids a championship ring which was a self reported violation to IHSA. The result was the IHSA stripping them of a win against SHG.

2) The report of a kid not living in district which was unfounded.

Are there others I'm not aware of??

I would like to add that the kids who received rings from the Rochester 🏈 moms were as follows:

A foster kid who was placed by the same agency as children I have fostered in the past

A kid whose family was going through some financial turmoil

And I believe the third child had some financial struggles due to a divorce in the family..

That ring issue was a perfect example of a community coming together to help disadvantaged kids enjoy the fruits of their labor and to not be made to feel left out due to financial difficulties outside of their control. A final note, one of those kids is black. Little Boy Rat’s Trap doesn’t want to talk about that.

And I’m sure the Rat Boy doesn’t want to discuss the basketball player who made the game-winning shot for SHG over Metamora in the state final. My son was good friends with him while they were at Rochester 🏈 Junior High.
