Calvert stuns Carey 44 - 14. Region 24 is going to be a mess now.

DSJ did very well against ML tonight. If they get into the playoffs, they will be a tough out!

[flounder]

Jays really surprised me tonight......this team has improved so much since the first game of the season......a real tribute to Coach Schulte.....with Todd as coach, DSJ will always improve as the season goes on!!!!!

[calvert_alum]

I noticed that ML/DSJ score. I was surprised as well.

[BlueJay]

DSJ could win out, too. They have Ft. Recovery, Versailles, New Bremen and Minster left.

[calvert_alum]

DSJ could even get in if they go 3-1 to finish the year. Versailles and Minster will be a couple of tough ones.

Not surprised. A lot of new faces and DSJ will get better as the season progresses. Looking at their region, they would have mopped the floor with most of those teams even with their play in Week 1, let alone now.

I am having some reservations about Marion Local though. They are not nearly as daunting offensively as I was expecting them to be this year...obviously still the favorite in DVII though.

They're pretty daunting defensively....

You also have to keep in mind that Bertke was out the entire second half.

My mistake...I wasn't aware he was out. What was he out for?

I'm not sure. He was warming up on the sidelines, but never went back in. He went out with about 3 or 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

Bertke had a bag of ice on his hand the entire second half. I'm guessing he could have played if needed. Marion Local really hasn't been a high scoring team this year. However, I don't see anyone in Div VII challenging them. The worst news is they only have eight seniors.

DSJ continues to improve. The 'Jays can win the next four games and who knows where that would put them in the playoff hunt.

[Bengal WhoDey]

Bertke I believe hurt his pinky finger. Goettemoeller also went out in the first quarter with a sprained ankle. I thought the team responded well losing its 2 best offensive players.

Here is Region 24 (Updated): Week 7 Predictions

1. 5-1 Arlington 8.1333 18.5 50.5 - Arlington has another tough test this week as they head to Liberty Center.

2. 4-2 Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic 7.0833 15.5 45.0 - SJCC travels to Hopewell-Loudon this week after only putting up 13 against Lakota. HL is in a much tougher region and needs this win badly.

3. 5-1 Leipsic 18.5 39.5 - Leipsic gets a win this week against Cory-Rawson

4. 5-1 McComb 6.9697 20.0 36.0 - McComb gets a win this week at Arcadia.

5. 5-1 Pandora-Gilboa 4.9000 18.0 19.0 - PG faces a tough test in Liberty-Benton this week. I see them losing here.

6. 4-2 Edon 4.0833 14.0 17.5 - Smashes Hilltop this week.

7. 4-2 Toledo Christian 4.0667 16.0 14.0 - I see Christian losing this week as they take on Gibsonburg at home.

8. 3-3 Hicksville 3.9333 11.0 21.0 - Very tough game against D.6 Reg 20 leader Wayne Trace. Hicksville goes down in this one.

Outside Looking In:

9. 2-4 Tiffin Calvert 3.5333 8.0 22.0 - Calvert travels to NB this week and will inch close to .500

10. 2-4 Mohawk 3.5000 7.5 22.5 - Another tough one this week. The Warriors host Seneca East at home. The loser of this game will likely miss the playoff. (I won't make a prediction on this one).

12. 2-4 Delphos St. John's 2.4333 8.0 11.0 - St. John's played very tough against MSL Saturday evening. They win by several scores this week against Fort Recovery.

Teams I've Eliminated After Week 6 Performances:

11. North Baltimore
14. Lima Perry

Finally, it looks as if I've narrowed this region down to 11 teams. The 8 top teams in the region and then Calvert, Mohawk and DSJ as the last three teams that could take over one of those top spots.

Bertke hurt his hand playing defense.

[CardBuck80]

I see Covington beating ML. ML is not nearly as good as last year.
