Wilmington vs El-Paso Gridley Semis

[Wilmatucky1]

2A

#1 El-Paso Gridley (12-0) @ Wilmington #5 Wilmington (11-1) - Wilmington rolled once again and the defense looked great as usual. EPG is undefeated and they have beaten a few decent/tough teams, however I will leave this here as the only evidence needed to solidify another running clock prediction. EPG beat Braidwood 28-14 in week 1. Yes, that is a long time ago, but I would have expected them to clock them. Wilmington put up like 500 yards against Braidwood. Next, EPG beat Downs 24-21. That game was played week 5. Although that was still a few weeks back and I don't have any stats or intel on the game it was only 3 points. Wilmo could have put 90 on Downs. I don't see this one being close. Wilmo 49 EPG 14

Wilmo has won 3 state titles and none of them have come without a close call along the way.
2021 was maybe the closest they came to an uneventful path, but Mac gave them a challenge in the quarterfinals, and Nashville kinda hung around in the title game after getting off to a bad start.

Unless Wilmo just completely self destructs, I can’t see this game being very close. I will have to dig up what I can find on EPG hudl, but it almost doesn’t matter who they are playing when they are executing at this level.

EPG (12-0) @ Wilmington (11-1) - I saw about a quarter of the EPG v Farmington game and they have some athletes. QB is a big kid and has a nice arm. Their O and D lines are average at best though which doesn't bode well for the Titans. Wilmington has been sharpening the blade for awhile now and Reents has the Cats peaking at the right time on both sides of the ball. This one is over by halftime. Wilmo by however many they want.

OBTW .. What's the over/under on motorcycles? Word on the street they had 60 last night for the quarters

How many times this year has Wilmington ran for over 500 yards in a game. Seems to be quite often and I honestly dont see it stopping anytime soon. EPG has had a great year and they are young. Perhaps they break though next year if Wilmington goes back up into 3A. Cats roll to the title game.

EPG (12-0) @ Wilmington (11-1) Wilmington has been dominating. The thing that sets them well above any other 2A team is their offensive and defensive lines. They need more credit for this dominating run. Having Kettman is huge too. He's the best athlete in 2A. That being said the Cats in a romp. Wilmo 64 EPG 13
