From the BND: “This is a game that every team in the state works to play in all year. At the end of the day on Saturday, there will be just 16 teams remaining with a chance to win a state championship,” Flyers coach Darren Sunkett said. “We’ve had a good week of practice and we’re ready.”

With this weather, watch for nine in the box and a blitz every down.

20-0 final. I was really impressed with the Benet D hanging tough and stiffening in the redZone. Benet D never gave up and all those stops inside the 10 yard line saved another 3 or 4 scores from being put up On the board. if the Benet O could have done anything (anything at all) this could have been an interesting game.

ESL not having a kicking game would hurt them against the top teams in close games. Lucky for them they don't have to play Loyola or Prarie Ridge next week!!

ESL D is crazy good and I think May be the top Defense in the state regardless of class.

 

[bigkell]

ESL win...must have been officiated satisfactorily.

You spew nonsense.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Real talk - ESL offense sucks.

The D, on the other hand, is lights out.

Benet's o-line has been big weakness all year. O-line was exposed and then some today.

Better team won today. Good luck Flyers. Contracts to Red Wings on a good season.

 

[Normdog]

Game was emblematic of Benet's season, fantastic defense and middling to no Offense. Benet had a total of 5 red zone stops in this game, unfortunately this time D could not stop them all.

Time of possession was 35:02 ESL, 12:58 Benet. Majority of Benet's O possessions were a 3 and out or even 2 and out.

ESL played a very good game and deserved to win. There was huge hitting in this game, by both teams. Jeff Thomas took a huge lick on first O play of game and came back to play rest of game. Tough kids on both sides of the ball.

We will regroup and come back next year.

You probably should give more credit to Benet's Defense. Just my opinion.

East Side offense may not be as explosive as in the pass buy they can get it done..As someone posted earlier they game plan was successful . top esl 25.02 Benet 12.98....And Benet played excellent on defense
