All Class 5A State Title Game talk here!

Figured it's much easier to have everything in one thread I'll do the same for the remaining games on Saturday as well.

 

[Curtain 25]

Excellent idea...

 

[Anon1754760634]

Anyway I can change my picks for today? Weather will definitely be an issue swirling winds cold drizzle gotta favor st Rita I believe time will tell

 

[Curtain 25]

How does Husky stadium compare with Champaign as far as wind ...will it affect the game more at NIU or U of I...or about the same?

To me NIU is much more wide open so bigger impact here

 

[USD24]

Good Luck to the Mustangs!!

Rochester has some interesting formations and plays out of them.

Rochester has some interesting formations and plays out of them.

yes they do..Rita better adjust quickly...

 

[USD24]

That looked easy

 

[pjjp]

Fast tempo for Rochester

One thing I've noticed during all of these state championship games is that if your offense doesn't at least have the threat of a downfield passing game.... you're probably in trouble...

O rly...

3 and 5 fir Rita. Don’t like that call. Run the ball 2x!

Rita side filled up a bit better here

and the higher the level, the more important that is. Rarely can you win in 7a and 8a without a complete offense.

 

[Curtain 25]

Nice play call there for Rochester

They were all getting one more in at the morning tailgates.

 

[Anon1754760634]

Beautiful WR throwback pass to QB clay Bruno Rochester leading st Rita 14-0 212 1q all rockets so far here

They may be emptying out soon

 

[eagles2k3]

Ouch going to be an ugly day for the mustangs. Derek Leonard too tough for most schools to handle.

 

[crusader_of_90]

I did not expect to see a Catholic League team get manhandled like this.

 

[Oddy]

Looks like R is in SR's heads already. Classless hack well into the endzone, then R player offers him a hand.

 

[pjjp]

Rita needs to get Brown the ball in space

JCA says "Welcome to 5A where things aren't quite as easy as they appear from the other side of the fence." (5A and below that is)

 

[Anon1754760634]

Yeah st Rita is in trouble...

 

[BornNRazed]

Yikes

 

[Curtain 25]

Nice play call there ]

 

[Solid Snake Pliskin]

This one is over. Rita wasn't prepared by their schedule.

 

[Crispy Linnetta]

Game.... Set.....Match.

 

[Oddy]

Well looks like passing is OK in today's weather.

 

[Coalertown44]

Derek Leonard is the best coach in the state of Illinois hands down

This Rochester team was smoked by Glenwood. Just goes to show the jump in classes.

 

[Queen4]

The execution of Rochester is impressive.

Coaching coaching coaching

 

[Anon1754760634]

Rita needed that 22 yard rushing TD badly trailing Rochester 21-7 826 2q

 

[USD24]

Hank Beatty is really good

 

[MS4EVER]

Love the Rochester pace on offense.

 

[Formicidae13]

Obviously a ton of time left in this one for anything to happen, but if Rochester wins, East St.Louis would get an opportunity to give the south as many wins as the north on the weekend. That hasn’t happened since 2012(I’m not factoring in 7a/8a cause they aren’t geographically divided), but maybe with East St.Louis in 6a it could happen more often. And maybe some year, the south might actually leave with more wins. No idea the last time that happened(may be more recent than I imagine)

 

[pjjp]

Rita defense burned for numerous 3rd and longs in this game

 

[pjjp]

Surgical and diverse

 

[Anon1754760634]

Clay Bruno to Hank Beatty again for the TD leading st Rita 28-7 454 2q
