New Lenox Providence Catholic @ Wheaton St. Francis
1. Providence's regular and postseason schedule should benefit them greatly, especially when compared to St. Francis's.
2. The fact that this is a home game for the Spartans is possibly the best thing in their favor.
3. Providence will be a tough enough opponent for the Spartans. They don't need to add their propensity for self-inflicted wounds.
4. If St. Francis has gamebreakers, they are going to need them.
Rochester @ SHG
1. Rochester appears to have been more consistent in the postseason than SHG, although the Cyclones' less than impressive game at Waterloo was preceded and followed by complete blowouts.
2. The home field should benefit SHG but to what extent is anyone's guess.
3. The first game between the two is in the past. Leave it there! No way will this game have as great a margin of victory regardless of who wins.
4. SHG should not be confused by the Rockets' running game as they were at Waterloo, but the question is how they will deal with the big QB (250 lb.) and running back (230 lb.) should the Rochester elect to go that route.
5. The effectiveness of the Rockets' passing game could also be a determiner in how this game proceeds.
6. Much like the case with St. Francis, SHG will probably need big plays from their gamebreakers.
