What's going on with Batavia?

I disagree with their sentiments. Not sure what you think about the topic. Your contribution is actually nothing.
MC63. You can look at the season stats as an insight to their strengths. Game not gonna be close.

Nice job hijacking a thread with incorrect info.
Very similar team to what they always are. Great defense and a pro style offense. They have been playing a sophomore QB more and more as of late and the offense has been better.
I don’t think this team is as good as years past. The caravan will be just fine.
Batavia will never be able to hang with the elite of the CCL until they change up their offense. Not going to line up and run the ball for 4quarters against these teams.
I don't know much about them, but I know they will be good and well coached as always. I also know that they hate Mt. Carmel and all the private schools. If I were them, and I was knocked out by the Caravan evey year........ I'd hate them too. Should be a great game between 2 really good teams. GO MC!!!
As it always seems to get twisted at some point when the two play, I'll try and be as clear and obvious as possible. Just like every year they have played, I think MC will win, unfortunately. Batavia will need to play their most complete game of the season to pull an upset. They will need to stop messing around with the two QB stuff and stick with the soph who bailed them out in the second half against both LW teams this year. On defense, they will need to keep Elliott in check as much as possible. No small feat. Personally, I think their biggest issue will be slowing down the MC WRs.
So do I think Batavia CAN pull the upset? Yes. Do I think it's likely? I do not. Think something similar to the MC vs BR game.

I'm hoping for a close, exciting well-played football game with good officiating. I expect MC to win, but you never know. I do respect the consistently good program that Batavia has built and I always like these small town teams where the entire community rallies around the high school football program. May the best team win.
Right bait, wrong pond
The biggest issue that I see for Batavia is the completion percentage of the sophomore QB
Their receiving core did a phenomenal job against LWC
- Isiah Brown had an incredible game
Chase Osbourne and Xavier Blanquel are the names that you will hear being called a lot
Blanquel has 9 sacks for the season

I LOVE Batavia and everything they do. But the One Town, One Team motto drives me up a wall.
Burrell has 72 receptions for 1,200 yards and 15 TDs.....wow.....72 receptions for 15 TDs used to be the 5 year combined total of the entire WR corps at MC....and he's just a Soph.
Despite the comments of many of the posters, I'm expecting a close game Saturday. I believe the Batavia program learned its lesson that revenge is a poor motivator.
Go Carmel!
Go Carmel!
The only people who brought up revenge over and over again have been the MC posters on this board. Winning a state championship is more than enough incentive on its own
Where’s the damn Watertower? That guy was funny…to quote my Boston friends, He was a “Wicked Pissa!”
It's been quoted by many Batavia players over the last few meetings in the articles that this is the game they want, they haven't forgotten the year before, stuff like that, but it's pretty much the media that instigates the question to them to make a more entertaining article. Revenge factor only gets you through the kickoff, then you have to play the game.
I remember the revenge game against Naz too, and their incessant need to say they all come from one town, that’s great but what’s the big deal? Expand the gene pool, it might be good to get some fresh blood in town! Be welcoming to outsiders not just head strong on only allowing insiders into your life. I think the idea of having a school that welcomes everyone would be beneficial to everyone.
Here in Pa if you live in a failing school district you can chose another school, public or private, and if you meet the standards you can transfer in and your funding travels with you to fund your education at the receiving school. It’s shocking to see how the schools actually get their classrooms in order to avoid losing their funding from the tax base and the state!
