Geneseo 42 @ Chicago Sullivan 0: Another year, another CPL team going undefeated and getting the number 1 seed only to get waxed by a WB6 team (Sterling did it to Payton last year). The Leaf’s defense did not allow Sullivan to get anything going at all and created a lot of short fields for the offense to run around and mostly through. It was 28-0 at the end of the 1st quarter and that was pretty much that.
Addison Trail 13 @ Moline 38: Moline took the opening kick off and hammered it’s way down the field, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Addison Trail would be able to move the ball in the 1st half but after the half, it was pretty much shut down. Moline did a very good job of controlling the ball on offense and creating negative plays or turn overs on defense.
Argo 7 @ Quincy 49: Quincy started out slow on offense, not really getting going until the 2nd quarter. Quincy’s defense came ready from the get go, forcing multiple negative plays and several bad punts which gave the offense good field position. Once the offense got going, it was lights out as Quincy went into the half up 35-0 and launched the running clock soon after the start of the 2nd half.
Sterling 18 @ St. Francis 42: Watching St. Francis’ starters operate against Sterling was like watching a D3 college team play a high school team. Interestingly, the running clock was never launched in this one as the halftime score was 42-3 and St. Francis put mostly 2nd stringers in for the whole second half. I figure that worked for both sides as Sterling got to have some success and both teams got to get their young players more game time.
