Anyone playing a semifinal on grass this weekend?

Forecast doesn't look so kind if so.

What about the wind. Not looking good for teams that want to throw it.

Some of the smalls, 4A and under, probably. High winds and mud. Always an equalizer.

IC at Byron in 3A. IC's problems two weeks ago at Peotone (where the grass is a leading tackler) indicate that grass does help them...

either of these teams pass a lot as it looks to be crazy windy?

The wind doesn’t only affect the passing game. Running into it also slows things down. Expect lots of low scoring games and anything can happen.

I’m liking the Byron upset just a tiny bit more

I also think in 4A this might give Highland a better shot at knocking off Rochester

Scoreless well into the second half...Byron is a power run, single/double wing team...IC generally can do what they want, but grass is not their forte...

Byron took the Peotone and Wilmo strategy to the next level, but still fell just short. IC had a huge pass play down to the 10 with about a minute left to set them up. Get the TD scramble with 23 sec left for the win.
Congrats to Byron for a great game and a great season. Congrats to IC for another trip to the finals. I can't see them having any trouble whatsoever on the turf next Friday afternoon. Could get ugly.
