Gonna start this thread since I've seen so much conversation about the game. Both teams made it to this point at 7-0, though at points tonight I wasn't so sure Barrington was going to make it.
Let's look at the tale of the tape:
Palatine:
Record: 7-0
Average Score: 38-14.
Hasn't really been challenged since week 1 at Stevenson. Fremd game was a 7 point victory, but was comfortable 21-7 lead until Fremd scored with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter.
Barrington:
Record: 7-0
Average score: 41-18
Had a hell of a time with Hoffman Estates tonight, pulling out 45-41 victory. Hoff Estates had the ball with under 4 minutes left and was driving when QB(who'd had a great 4th quarter to that point) threw a pick and Barrington was able to run out the clock.
Common opponents:
Barrington 41, Glenbrook South 15
Palatine 34, Glenbrook South 13.
Barrington had 41-0 lead at end of third quarter before scrubs gave up a couple of TDs; Palatine had a 34-7 lead at end of third quarter before scrubs gave up a late TD
Barrington 27, Fremd 12
Palatine 21, Fremd 14
Barrington trailed 6-0 at halftime, led 14-12 at end of third quarter and then got an offensive TD to pull away and a 102 yard pick six return on the last play of the game for margin of victory. Palatine trailed Fremd 7-0 early in second quarter, before pulling ahead 14-7 at the half. Led 21-7 at the end of 3rd quarter
Palatine 49, Hoffman Estates 13
Barrington 45, Hoffman Estates 41
Palatine led 21-10 at half and exploded for 21 points in third quarter + TD on first play of 4th quarter for a 49-10 lead with 11:51 left in game. Barrington led 24-14 at the half; teams traded TDs until Hoffman Estates took a 41-38 lead with 5:50 to play. Barrington came right back and scored to make it 45-41 with 4:33 and then the aforementioned pick occured.
Transitive property of common opponents: Palatine 41, New Trier 21 -> New Trier 27, Maine South 21 -> Barrington 41, Maine South 27
Signature wins:
Palatine 28, Stevenson 20. Stevenson has won every game since and looks like a formidable team in 8A
Barrington 41, Maine South 27. This looked more impressive at the time, but Maine South now has three losses after New Trier tonight
History:
Palatine just seems to have Barrington's number. Over the last 10 years Palatine has won 8 out of 10, with their only losses coming in sub-.500 seasons. In essence, if Palatine is good or both teams are good, Palatine has won:
Have at it......
