Unless I missed it, I haven't seen a thread for this game yet. Looks like it will be the first, and only, real test for the Raptors. What do our Cincy area fans think about this matchup?
 
 
I’ve said the same thing for 5 yrs, Anderson will probably pass around 40/50 times.

They have a system that has been working for them for years and they do an excellent job of running it.

I absolutely love our WW defense, if our DB’s can play well and limit the big plays, I really like WW chances.

I would definitely put a spy on their QB all night if possible.

Go Warriors

Get the Massillon film, when they played Anderson is the state semi 's in 2023. Anderson went right down the field on the opening drive, and then Massillon made the adjustments, and Anderson could do nothing more, and that was the game. Massillon controlled the rest of the game

I’ll take this opportunity to defend Kings. Granted, Anderson stomped them, but I think that’s more of an indication of how good Anderson really is than an idication that Kings isn’t a real challenge. I think they’re inarguably somewhere between the second and fifth best team in the region Anderson needs to win, and I’d lean toward second or third. I expect a playoff rematch, and I think they’ll fare better, though I don’t think they’ll win by any means. They’ve definitely improved their play calling following the Anderson beat down, and their defense is really good, esp against the run. I think they’re a way better team right now than the team that in many ways dominated WW but somehow found a way to lose by two touchdowns.

I know this take will be ridiculed, but I think Anderson beats anyone in the city right now, including WW pretty easily, and I think they’re winning State.

Anderson’s a better team this year, and I would hope they learned a lot from that game. They were intimidated in that game but I don’t think they will be against anybody this year.

Lots of football left to be played yet, but I'm predicting they match up with Massillon again in the final 4. So if it happens, time will tell

We’ll see if my Warriors are able to make adjustments when needed.
 
At the gate or at the school only way to get tickets.

undoubtedly a game that will end around 11:30 pm or midnight.
 
I know the WW defense can slow the Anderson defense down to 20 to 26 points but the WW offense has been sloppy the majority of the season. WW"s will need to make plays on special teams and defense to win this game.

It sounds like the WW offense has been an issue for them for the last 2 years or so. Is there any particular reason or reasons for this? I would think that WW has plenty of talent on that side of the ball to have more success than they have had lately.
 
Great matchup. Good luck to both. Great defense vs. great offense and one you have to witness to comprehend. Really unique.
 
This is definitely the game to checkout this week and could be the game of the season in Cincy. Anderson's offense works best against man coverage, especially press man, which WW really likes to do.

I agree with the idea of spying the QB all night, easier said than done with how Anderson's offense is designed.

I also agree that I'd be looking a lot at the Massillon tape from last year, but the one thing that really stood out in that game was how much pressure Massillon was able to get with their DL. Anderson could not set up their unique route concepts due to the pressure up front. That is how you really mess with Anderson. If you rely on blitz packages to get that pressure, Anderson will make you pay with hitting the vacated areas from the blitz.

Everyone is talking about Anderson's offense v WW Defense, and rightfully so.... they are both other-worldly at this time. However, this game comes down to WW offense v Anderson's defense. Both are much improved from last year with WW scoring the 2nd most points per game behind Anderson, and Anderson giving up the 2nd fewest points per game behind Winton Woods. Which one will have more success?? Can't wait for Friday night.... wonder if Marty Brenneman will make an appearance for this one?
 
Anderson - 28
WW - 17

Seems Anderson would be in the top 4 of D1R4 this year, maybe 2nd next to Moe? Love to see it. I guess we will find out tomorrow if they belong.

Anderson has had issues stopping the run in previous years, and the defense is definitely the "weak" spot of their team. While they haven't really played anyone this year, the defense has been dominant. Couple that with a passing offense that can light up the scoreboard and that's why they are a legitimate D2 title contender.
 
Is WW still down their RB1 and RB2? Also heard a DB is playing QB?

If that is the case, WW rarely scored over 20 points WITH those members on offense, how are they expected to play Anderson and score more than 20 points? I think they can hold Anderson so they won’t score anywhere close to their past totals, I just don’t see how they can ever catch the point total they hold Anderson to.

Their offense is still very rough. A lot of their points have come on defense, and blocked punts in particular. They have 25 offensive td’s to Kings’s 29, and that lead will be a lot bigger after this week. Also WW appears to be 7th in the conference in offensive yards, though I grant they’re often limited in that regard by short fields and touchdowns from turnovers. They do appear to be better than last year, but in the two games I’ve seen them play, their offense was a train wreck. I think Anderson is fully capable of shutting out the offense, so imo they need to be able to hold Anderson to two touchdowns or less and get defense and special teams points. And shut down the Anderson O when they go for it on fourth down and get short fields.
