This one is shaping up as a classic. #1 Div IV vs. #1 Div III. I would love to see the Lancers pull off the victory. But what a tough challenge!

[CTX_1]

that will be a big game for sure!

The irony in that game is so deep......

You have a Lview graduate in Frank versus a Crestview coach coaching at a rival school....like Frank's enemy is leading the charge against his former school.....

and keep in mind Crestview and LCC never really liked each other either.....so then there's that rivalry of Crestview/Lincolnview too b/w the two coaches and their alma mater.....

Tangled mess!

LCC.....by winning LCC claims the NWC league championship!!!!!!!!

[CKalltheway]

YES!!! Also, C view won 2 state championships in 2014 since the Knights beat the T birds in regular season.

[cs59]

LV seems to have a nice team but has some close scores against fairly average teams. LCC has a great team this year so will probably be a loss for LV unless LCC self destructs.

LCC by 20 over LV.

[erniefurgler]

LCC by double figures. L'view has a very nice team & may be the favorite to get out of the NW Regional but their guard play is not strong enough to handle LCC.

The Birds will roll in this one!!!!!!!!

Obviously we all have our opinions but I respectfully disagree. Matchups are somewhat going to be even and both teams play man defense. Tempo is not going to be the difference b/c both teams attempt to play the same style. We shall see...I just wish it could be a tie.



Joking of course

I messed up......what I really meant was that the Birds will steamroll the Lancers.....and, I really don't think the Lancers have anyone who can match up with Walton or Cobbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flounder,
We miss the glory days when St. Johns was relevant in sports and your jabs at the NWC carried weight

Lincolnview has one 1 state championship, I believe DSJ has won at least 2-3, and their record over the years has many more wins than the Lancers, plus the MAC is much harder than the NWC. But good luck to LV. So don't bag on Jays, LV does not have FB, why not? Have a good day.

I would say probably in most years. But this season the NWC hasn't lost a game against the MAC. The NWC is 8-0 against the MAC. Fort Recovery, St. Henry, and DSJ are among the teams that have lost to the NWC this season.

From top to bottom the NWC is as good a league as it has ever been this season. Lots of good teams that are capable of beating teams this year.

As for LCC..I don't see them losing to Lincolnview unless 2 or 3 of LCC's players get sick and miss the game.

Leeth can do the job on Cobbs. Cobbs may get to 20, but they will be a hard earned 20. Walton will be guarded by Youtsey I'm guessing which will surprise quite a few in his ability. I don't see your argument as the issue. The issue will be w/ who guards Adams for LCC and who does Adams guard when Williams isn't playing.

Possible matchups as I see them:
Leeth/Cobbs
Youtsey/Walton

Neate/Dixon and/orTafflinger

Adams-guarding an area and switching
Ludwig-switching w/ Adams on O'Connor



It will be interesting if Lincolnview sticks to their man defense that's gotten to this point. LCC will more than likely try to spread it out as much as possible in the half court, if they cannot get their fast-break game consistently going.

[FlightCrew]

LV guards are their weak point. I think it'll cost em in this matchup.

8-1

[CTX_1]

For those giving zero chance to Lview....keep in mind Lview beat Crestview and LCC was on the ropes big time with Crestview. People didn't think Crestview stood a chance either but Crestview lead late in the 4th.....without their standout PG in Mefferd who has been out for a few months with head injury complications. Obviously, LCC is the better team but the Lancers may surprise you (god that hurt to say.....). The Crestview freshman hung around with LCC.

If LCC does not get in foul trouble, they win this rather easily. Also, you guys have just totally overlooked Josh Dixon, he is a difference maker for the T-Birds. Lincolnview has to limit LCC in transition and make the Birds jumpshooters. That is easier said than done because Cobbs gets to the hole at will. Lima Senior couldn't keep him from doing it so I doubt Lincolnview will..Still should be a good game, one that I would like to see in person.

Totally agree and I'd make sure you make plans to get your tickets on the general public pre-sale date, they won't be many if any left at the door.
