Hope Anomaly returns for next week.....and I hope there are still some DVC teams left for a Post Season Week 2 Thread
7A
Pekin at Glenbard North: I will take GBN at Home
8A
Lyons at Naperville North: This game scares me. Lyons QB very good. I have only seen Naperville North Play once. I think there are two things that will decide this game.
* Turnover battle (that is the obvious one)
* Can North generate enough of a pass rush with their front 4 without sending the blitz? I only have a one game sample and WV is not a pass happy team;....but I did not see a stellar pass rush from the NN front 4. their DE's eventually got there, but it took a long time and WV's QB sometimes holds the ball and likes to dance around after 4 or 5 seconds in the pocket to try to extend plays and sometimes scrambles into a sack when he cant decide if he wants to run or pass or throw it away. .
Coin flip.... I'm taking North over Lyons in a close one
Waubonsie Valley at Hinsdale Central: you would think this would be a no brainer pick - everything against the Warrior in this one
* WV traveling to the WSS Champion HC.
* HC 9-0 and has designs on a deep run to semis and possibly the title game
* WV has been Bi-Polar this year. They look like world beaters and then (as NNFan so eloquently stated they then turn around and s**t the bed and turn the ball over 4 times.
* HC has one of the better starting 5 OLine I have seen in the area (big, athletic, can move well).
Again everything seems to be against the Warrior....BUT THAT"S JUST THE WAY WV LIKES IT.
I will go with the big upset pick. Taking WV over HC on a last second field goal as time expires.
Glenbard West at Neuqua Valley: Another coin flip type game. some things to consider
* yes NV has been to the playoffs a ton ( 7 straight and 11 of the past 13 years). but the playoff experience edge has to go to GW in this one. So many titles and semi final appearances
* GW getting healthier and NV is less healthy
* NV at home
* NV has playmakers that will challenge GW's defense.
I don't know... I would feel more comfortable taking NV if they were at full strength plus Something always seems to happen with the Wildcats in the playoffs where they under achieve for one reason or another. I am going to take the GW playoff experience and pick GW over NV.
