WB6 First Round Playoffs

[Swansa01]

Sterling (#4 7-2) vs Marmion Academy (#20 4-6): Sterling is coming off of it’s bye week hopefully rested and with no rest. Despite their record, Marmion is a solid football team with good size and athleticism. I think it will be a good game, but a game the Golden Warriors should win with some comfort. Sterling 35 – Marmion 21.

Montini (#8 7-2) vs Geneseo (#9 7-3): Bit of a jump in competition for the Leafs this week as they get the odds on favorite to win in Montini. If Geneseo wants a chance, they need long drives that end in the end zone and a few turnovers to go their way. Montini 42 – Geneseo 21.

Chicago Goode (#8 6-2) vs Quincy (#9 7-3): This wont even be a game…Quincy 56 – Goode 8

Chicago Kennedy (#1 8-1) vs United Township (#16 6-4): UT looked very solid in it’s first playoff game last week. Now, they have to go on the road to Chicago. On paper, Kennedy looks like a solid program…but I really question if they have played anyone. UT 42 – Kennedy 6.

Glenbard West (#15 6-3) vs Moline (#18 7-3): Moline is going to get a test for the second week in a row as it heads to Glenbard. Glenbard West is a very solid team that is big and physical. Moline will need to bring it’s “A” game if it wants to see another week of football. Glenbard West 28 – Moline 17.

Marmion was hampered by injuries to key offensive players during the season. Those players are back and will have a significant impact on the game. Sterling's defense will be seriously tested.

Speaking of Marmion, their walk-off win vs Benet on a pick 6 is one of the craziest endings to a high school football game that I have ever seen. So much to unpack there, including the previous few minutes prior to the pick 6.

It was wild.

 

[Sterling Warrior]

I don’t know what to call in the Sterling-Marmion game, I can usually judge fairly well but this one is tough, I think Sterling will give up a lot of points to this team as they have all year with other passing teams, so I think its going to be a high scoring game with Sterling coning out on top by 7
35-28
Geneseo-Montini
Has Geneseo ever faced a CCL green division school?
42-7 Montini or if Gebeseo can sustain some clock killing drives 32-7 I hope im wrong.

Quincy-Goode blow out
Quincy 56-7

UT-Kennedy
UT 42-14

Moline-GW
Sorry Moline, GW28-14
Hope i’mwrong again

Not sure if this helps but Marmion does not have the skill position players like some of the CCL teams Sterling has played in the past.....SF etc. and it is not close. I think Sterling can win this game by at least two scores.

All those years of being ESL, Prov, and MTC's doormat in the 1st round thru QF's finally paid off for ole Too Little and Blueberry Devils! That or the 2 million dollar workout facility is finally paying off... I for one, am at least glad Goode gets to stay close to home for their *** whooping. Will it be back-to-back road trips to Chi for the Q if them and Kennedy move on? Basically to the same neighborhood, right? Kennedy and Goode are only like 6 miles apart... oh wait, I see now Kennedy playing at Lane Stadium. Quite a further haul north next week?

 

[Golden Warrior 1]

Can't see Kennedy getting by East Moline this week.

I mean... it's East Moline... I could see a world where they lose. But fair play... Cupcake path for the Devils still applies.

 

[good_nocall]

Am I seeing this right? Goode is up 38-21 with 11 minutes left in the 2nd quarter?!?

 

[good_nocall]

uh ... make that 38-29 with still more than 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. what the ...?

 

[Golden Warrior 1]

this is the craziest game i've seen! Goode has 340 rush yards through 1 1/2 quarters. 340!!!
