Phillips vs Pickerington Central game thread

Recommended Posts

This one intrigues because there are a lot of dynamics at play: PC being the returning large class champs of a top football state, but graduated a lot of players. Phillips returns a healthy amount of players and has P5 prospects and is the defending 5A champs (4th tier out of 8). PC is #2 in OH on Maxpreps, Phillips is #3 in IL. The IL and Chicago media have Phillips any where from #1 in IL to #3 in the Chicago area... which I vehemently disagree with. Not sure how the local OH media is touting PC. I'll be pulling for the Chicago kids, obviously, but I think this will be a learning experience for them in biting and chewing proportions.

 

prediction: PC 42 Phillips 6

yeah, I actually like Phillips' D (pause), but I think they will be put in bad position a lot due to the ineffective offense. Only so much you can do when giving out short fields all game.

Woh... spread was 16 this am.   Is it that much of an overmatch?  PC has to replace OL.

For the longest time this offseason... I said Phillips would win. I liked them, and had them #1 or #2 in IL.

But Bones (and 1 other person from IL, and 1 from OH) came in talking about how Pick Central should beat them easily.

Just going off this 1st drive... Maybe I shouldve stuck with my initial gut feeling.

This is the hardest thing about preseason

More of an indictment on PC. I expect top teams to be able to defend a dive.
