Batavia?

[RamblerPop1]

No thread on the Batavia game? Last I saw, Rice was up 14 early.

 

[definitely an NFL coach]

what's to discuss

One Town...

 

[definitely an NFL coach]

14-0 BR but batavia is driving, in the redzone

 

[definitely an NFL coach]

14-6 BR

Batavia Dline 3 yards off the ball?

 

[ODERTY1]

Batavia playing scary... imho

 

[Cross Bones]

Batavia Dline 3 yards off the ball?

Batavia Dline 3 yards off the ball?

******** window dressing, iirc green bay did that back in the late naughts

 

[RamblerPop1]

Did Batavia recruit Ashiru from Plainfield? Or was he always a Batavia kid?

[PowerI66]

Batavia QB hurt before half

 

[PowerI66]

BR penalties letting Batavia hang around. Still 21 to 6 BR at half

 

[RamblerPop1]

I think so...

 

[Topiarydan1]

28-6 Rice in 3rd

 

[PowerI66]

QB is back, but it won't make a difference. This one is over

 

[Topiarydan1]

35-6 in 3rd still

 

[Topiarydan1]

21-6 at half - 49-6 final.

 

[DeanOfSelection]

I was there 49-6 final

 

[RamblerPop1]

Clock it

 

[LWN_Pheonix]

Batavia defense was incredibly innovative

the no contact line of scrimmage is something that I can see catching on to other teams in the very near future

brilliance

 

[Redline9]

ESL at Brother Rice is going to be something!

 

[Topiarydan1]

Congrats to Batavia on a good season and congrats to your coach on I believe his retirement.
Rice will have a tougher time on road next week at Normal. I still think they'll get by Normal and then it'll be
a great game at home vs ESL. Rice will need to cut down on penalties and play turnover free ball to get by ESL but I believe they can.

 

[LWN_Pheonix]

Mark my words

within 5 years Batavia will be in a state title game

if they would’ve just stayed in 6a they could’ve made it down state this year.

I dont think normal is nearly as good as batavia. Rice should clock normal.

 

[chitown-irish]

I dont think normal is nearly as good as batavia. Rice should clock normal.

It will be a running clock in the 1st half.

 

[flyer4life]

I dont think normal is nearly as good as batavia. Rice should clock normal.

Rice will clock Normal

 

[Cross Bones]

if they would’ve just stayed in 6a they could’ve made it down state this year.

Definitely had a better chance.

 

[LWN_Pheonix]

I dont think normal is nearly as good as batavia. Rice should clock normal.

Batavia used a 7 on 7 style defense

do you really want to call what you saw there a fair assessment of what Batavia actually is?

the Brother Rice offensive line had a literal bye week yesterday

 

[LHSTigers94]

I dont think normal is nearly as good as batavia. Rice should clock normal.

You thought Batavia was good? Playing scared of a team you just beat two years ago was very disappointing. Normal will put forth a real effort on Saturday.

 

[LWN_Pheonix]

The Batavia players were cheated out of the opportunity to play an actual game yesterday
