ESL VS FENWICK 6A

[rbundy84]

ESL only plays one crossover game. I believe E'ville is in the same boat as well.

Correct

SWC will have two divisions starting next year with teams playing everyone in their division and one crossover game

ESL
Edwardsville
Belleville East
Belleville West
O Fallon

Triad
Mascoutah
Collinsville
Alton
Granite City

back to the OP….id be very surprised if it is still competitive at half

They should make the guys talking suit up. Always the ones not playing.

So what factor does the weather play in this game on Saturday?

 

[crusader_of_90]

Early in the day ... should not be an issue.

And even if a blizzard, it favors ESL.

 

[Snetsrak61]

The odds are against Fenwick in a 1980 US Men's hockey sort of way and yet...

No one gets the benefit of looking past an opponent if you're playing Thanksgiving weekend.

Herb Brooks would be proud.

Congrats Friars.

Funny, before reading this thread I had just texted my buddies that ESL lack of urgency at end of game was like the Russians not pulling their goalie.

Congratulations Fenwick you were there better team tonight. The Flyers did not play their game and Fenwick did. Goes to show you never give up and do not fear anyone, regardless of reputation.

 

[Gestalt45]

This aged so poorly

was the weather an issue or nah?

 

[crusader_of_90]

It was a bit nippy, so yeah!!!! Play that game in 90-degree weather with STL humidity, and the Flyers soar ....

 

[TigerforFlyers]

Great game by the Friars. They earned the win and the respect. A very embarrassing loss by the Flyers.

 

[flyer4life]

No Fenwick played in the same weather. No excuses.

Very embarrassing

Very embarrassing

Long bus ride home for ESL

 

[tuccs]

I looked it up only 2 hours 21 minutes but probably felt even longer than those plane rides earlier this season

I’m assuming it was a bus but who knows, with all that booster money they could’ve taken a charter flight from BloNo to Lambert.

I was referencing the nationally ranked quality losses.

I keep forgetting that those losses sb considered as W’s when doing the in-state rankings. I’ll get it right next time.

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Well... I knew it would be a good game but... Fenwick proved that all ya need to do is catch lightning in a bottle a couple times and good things will happen.

#6 for EStL was impressive in the 1st half but they got away from running the ball.

I had the score: EStL 35-28 Can't win them all!

 

[PowerI66]

I think that muffed punt really did a lot of damage. It turned Fenwick's hope they could compete into belief that they could win. That's a giant mental hurdle to overcome against a team like ESL.

True but we have also seen this movie before and favored team wins 35-7.

 

[Blackfriars]

If, big if, Fenwick can force some turnovers it’ll be close otherwise ESL will win comfortably.

5 yard Rushing TD after muffed punt.
33 yard Passing TD after INT.
5 yard Rushing TD after INT.

Fenwick’s defense forced turnovers and capitalized on them. A heraclean effort.

The first TD wasnt a muffed punt. It was a bad snap over the punters head.

 

[refreff01]

That game mirrored the MC game exactly for Fenwick. Difference being better weather conditions and MC at home.

Game plans for those were identical.

Had MC or ESL scrapped the passing game all together I think neither are as close.

Whoever is running the Fenwick defense is very good at their job
