VB beat LCC in every part of that game, except speed, but when your running backs run people over, speed cannot do anything.
The ref's had NO CLUE most of the night VB broke the huddle 4-5 times with 12 and only got called for it 2x, I didn't see any balls hit the ground that were called complete (and I had a pretty close seat).
LCC's receiver (Floyd) couldn't catch a thing, why wouldn't you just run jet sweep with him, use his speed since he doesn't have hands??
LCC's line was not physical enough to make big plays, the only ones they had were when they came unblocked

Congrats to VB, I hope you have a long run in the tournament this season

Supports my claim even more, Arlington spanked DSJ.

Don't mean to ruffle the DSJs fans with this analogy, but I stopped sweating LCC when I realized the Thunderbirds got beat this year by a team that was 4-7 and lost 5 of their last six games by a combined score of 187-0. I know its the MAC (which I have the utmost respect for) but LCC shouldn't have lost that game if they were playoff contenders.

Don't recall reading anywhere that LCC was playoff contenders. The Delphos game was a tail of 2 games (they played the night it rained in Toledo and they had to finish Saturday). If that game was played complete of Friday LCC would have run away with it, they had momentum. Delphos came in saturday with a different plan and it worked for them.

Delphos played the best teams in the state (D4-D7) the last 2 games in Coldwater and Marion Local, and noone ever said they were a great team to begin with. They did what they needed to get into the playoffs and that was to win 4 games this year because every other team in their region was horrible as well

VB is a good football team this year and LB has been the last couple of years. Three years ago was "LCC's Year" to win and LB beat them because they played a great game and were more physical. I love being a part of the LCC community, but they are down and will be for the next few years (lack of kids coming out for football)

Fair enough, things do definitely run in cycles.....and like I prefaced, I have all the respect I the world for the MAC.

Had Ursuline not been in D5 in 2010, I think LCC would have won it all that year. Oh well.

Made me chuckle.

Had Ursuline not been in D5 in 2008, I think LB would have won it all that year. Oh well.

LCC getting kicked out of their league, losing their coach, Fell going to LSH, what did you expect?

Back down to where they were prior to COOP.

There is no such rule in high school football for "breaking the huddle with 12." that is a college rule. The better team won.

[whodey]

Not even close Caldwell-- LCC was atrocious before coop.. 8-3 with our own kids this year..we will take it..Probably will slip a bit the next year or two..But will be fine in the future..Although,the schedule will be MUCH more difficult starting next season..

[ADog]

WhoDey, you mention 2015 schedule, Is next year when any games with former NWC foes will be in 1st 3 weeks? and if I heard right, Ada still on the schedule?

[ADog]

Probably should have said, next year is when the NWC goes to OOC games all in 1st 3 weeks and I think LCC is one of the 3 for Ada.

The better team Friday did win.
IF there is no rule about breaking the huddle with 12 then why did they call it 2 times, but not the other 3-4??

From what I've been told it's a "judgement" call..... if the teams breaks with 12 and the 12th player leaves the field in a respectable amount of time then it's not a penalty.... Take it for what it's worth and define "respectable" amount of time the way you wish.

That makes sense, plus, as stated prior, the refs seemed clueless half the night anyways. They were like Jr High refs trying to do a College game.


Good luck to Van Buren and all other area teams still playing

Based on your training as a fan or are you qualified in some other way such as you watch a lot of officiating on TV?

I'd like to know what the ruling is on this, because I've seen a fair amount of timeouts called ostensibly to avoid a flag.

[BOB]

What does the rest of the t-bird schedule look like next year? Hard to believe Ada is keeping LCC on the schedule after all of the rumors that they pushed LCC out. Guess at least one nwc team was ok playing.
