I heard the same thing.

I'm sure they did. Hillsdale, Smithville, and Wellington (only other playoff team on their schedule) would be my guess.

Doubtful, as Smithville is likely rooting for its conference rival now that they are in the playoffs in a different division.

Since then, they have rolled teams and have some serious momentum. The whole community will be at this game, and they will come to play. Go Blue! Good luck to the Warriors, rep the valley well.
Rest assured that this Norwayne team wouldn't dream of overlooking an opponent. The popular consensus is that they probably did that leading up to Week 9, which would have likely accounted for their only loss of the season. Once you get burned like that, you don't do it again.

You forgot one that I'll mention below.
O-Trap's Breakdown of the Creston Norwayne Bobcats:
1. Adam Wallace is a manchild, and rightfully the MVP of the WCAL this year. Tough kid, as he's also an inside linebacker on defense. He's an excellent runner and has a lot of arm strength. If I could think of one weakness after having seen him, he's not a precision passer downfield.
2. The WRs on Norwayne are very good ... very fast with good hands.
3. The RB tandem are hard to tell apart. Their running style is very similar, from what I saw. They aren't "make-you-miss" speed guys. They're North-and-South power runners. Strong guys.
4. The offensive line isn't huge, but they're relatively quick.
5. The defense covers well downfield and they play delayed runs pretty well. The one weakness they showed against Smithville was that they were slow to react to a quick hand-off up the middle.
6. To win the game, Brookfield must:
- Hit Wallace ... a lot. He's tougher than any other QB I've seen, but if you don't give him room to move or for the play to develop, you can limit the damage he does.
- Stuff the middle. It's the strength of their running game, and it would force them to open it up.
- Run the ball successfully. They guard the pass very well, and they prefer having their offense on the field, which brings me to the most important one.
- OWN time of possession. What Smithville did that proved most damaging to their scoring ability was dominating the clock with long, long, LONG drives (I think one was 12 minutes). The Bobcats were only able to run 7 plays in the second half due to that.
All in all, I am not telling the team anything they can't know from watching game film, but this will hopefully help the Brookfield fans know what to expect.
