Cost them a shot at the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 If someone would have said before the game that half way through the 4th NC would have a chance to take the lead I would have been pleased. I'll take this outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucfootball90 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Naperville central went wrong when they went 3 passes and out up 4 with around 5/6 mins left. They had just stopped a 4th down play and then put their defense right back out on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucfootball90 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Game was much closer than I was thinking. I figured it would be a 42-21 type game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they atleast gotta beat some of the better IL teams ... You may call them 2-3, but I bet if they played 5 or 6 different IL teams you wouldnt picked NC to win if it mattered.

Bones Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's not that pollsters and fans in IL dont know the state, it's that it's tough to predict. In my IL thread I dropped NC down to 6 because they nearly lost to a team struggling to make the playoffs and then had a tight one with a team that's 0-6. That's just the landscape in IL. Could NC win 8A? Yeah, depends on the path in their bracket. Could they lose in the 1st rd? Yeah. I also said that no matter what happened here I would consider it a quality win for Eds if they did.

NC is a very very good team. While imo not the best in IL, they do belong in the top 100 ( our board members polls etc ) and would lay wast to many in the rankings now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X & Iggy barely beat Elder........Eds beat Elder by 400. Colerain dominated X for 3.5 quarters then X comes back at the end to force OT and eeks out an OT win...... people rank X in top 15-20, and Colerain nowhere to be found in most top 50s. Not sure where is correct for X and Colerain, but there isnt much difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both teams can come away feeling good. NC went toe-to-toe with a one of Ohio's best, and Ed's was able secure a comeback victory after a long out of state road trip (the first this group has had to make). Not the best performance by Ed's, but I credit NC. They were very well coached, run a good offense (very similar to Ed's actually), and while they couldn't match the size of Ed's, they were very quick and played fundamentally sound. Jayden Reed was the real deal and probably the best player on the field. I'm surprised the Ed's staff didn't make more of a defensive adjustment to take away the slants over the middle. They seemed content to give them everything underneath, but Reed made them pay with his ability after the catch taking two 70+ to the house. I think this NC team is very comparable to a program like Mentor here in Northeast Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
