Hillsdale is definitely the favorite IMO, sounds like the weather will be foul and that probably plays further into the Falcons favor...the Huskies will have bring one of their better efforts to come out on top...and that could happen.

Northwestern can all but kiss the playoffs goodbye if they lose tomorrow night, while a victory will have the Falcons sitting pretty playoff wise. I think this will be a very competitive game.



also....Waynedale's gonna beat Chippewa.....and Rittman.

There is a drive with this husky team and I think they make a good game our of it, if not win it. The diversity of the NWN offense is hard to handle. The line may not be huge, but they are completely strong to do their part. They will be harder to handle than what some are saying....

Cause the problem we have over here, it's always the line last year maybe avg. 230 arcoss the line and it was the line, this year not as big but it's the line? Please by reading the paper, you have a small line(how in the world are you doing it?) YOU MUST HAVE VERY STRONG PARENTS AND NOT LAZY KIDS, or you have some coaching over there that the kids RELATE to? Please cilm in if your allowed wclfan if your allowed

It's not just that they are not very large, they are also slow and weak. Even with todays zone blocking schemes which give you a chance to suceed if you can just stay even in the trenches...Waynedale doesn't even have the players to do that.

I do not think Z is a very good X's and O's coach...but what is going on is just the product of parents thinking their kids are better than they really are and laying it all on the coach. Sometimes parents need to step back and accept the fact their kids suck at football.

Lost in the Regional Championship to a team that only had two guys on the whole team over 200 pounds. They were fast, and that was what counted.

You can absolutely do it with a small line.
