What a night for the first round of playoffs. Weather definitely played a factor.

Two big suprises with Franklin losing and West Point beating Rapp badly. Essex got off to a slow start. Much respect to Northampton. Very good ball team and fought to the end.

Sets up some big matchups next week with another WnL Essex showdown.

Is west point the new favorite in region a? What happen with this game?

Interesting results for sure.

Congrats to the Eagles. I think W&L Coach Taylor pulled a 1st round shocker last season as well.

The tri River teams seem to underestimate the nnk teams...I remember talk about how Franklin could win the region even without Ford. One game at a time.

As for the West Point win over Rapp, that is a surprise as well.

Maybe not as much that WP won as they beat Rapp at Rapp last time too - also in bad weather and in the mud.

However, the final score was a surprise. Yes, the details will be interesting to hear. I definitely have underestimated WP (not anymore though!).

Did Rapp get caught looking ahead for a possible rematch with Northumberland? Is WP just that dag on good?

Either way or both, definitely a learning tool for the Indians. Must be ready for a great CB - they will be coming hard at Northumberland tomorrow - also in the Mud.

RappriverEHS or anyone,

what do you expect to happen tomorrow with CB at NHS?

Will 3 of the top 4 Region A seeds fall (#1 and #3 fell really hard)? Or will the #2 Indians pull it out and survive to face WP?

I suppose that WP will be in attendance to see the show.

I don't think that is the case(not trying to change your mind..just giving my opinion). I will say Franklin with Ford..the score wouldve been closer. Not sure who wouldve won.
