Is a missed PAT involved?Lake Catholic 35
Van Wert 34
3OT
Is this in any way a reference to 2000 (but in D3), when Van Wert went up against Canton CC (also wearing Green and White btw) and came up just short 27-26 in 2OT due to a missed PAT?Is a missed PAT involved?
Yep.Is this in any way a reference to 2000 (but in D3), when Van Wert went up against Canton CC (also wearing Green and White btw) and came up just short 27-26 in 2OT due to a missed PAT?
By VW’s all state kicker too.Is this in any way a reference to 2000 (but in D3), when Van Wert went up against Canton CC (also wearing Green and White btw) and came up just short 27-26 in 2OT due to a missed PAT?
Van Wert has done a good job containing their opponent's running game throughout the playoffs.BC was able to make the LC offense 1-dimentional - 40 total yards passing which is concerning to me if I'm an LC fan. I don't know anything about VW's D but if they can contain LC's QB runs then they have a good shot at a W.
I agree...I don't think 17 points will be enough to beat VW. But who knows with the way the LC defense has been playing!BC was able to make the LC offense 1-dimentional - 40 total yards rushing which is concerning to me if I'm an LC fan.

van wert and the all state kicker ugh ugh ugh!!!
Our all state kicker missed two PAT's during the 2000 state championship where we lost 27-26 in double OT against Canton Central Catholic.If i'm a HS team in the playoff I'd be happy to have an all state kicker. Not sure where you're going with that.
They basically draw kids in significant numbers from only three schools (Gabes, St. Mary Mentor and Mater Dei) so their multiplier number might be down. But so is overall enrollment. Lake was pushing 200-plus (100-plus boys) per class for a while but that number is south of 150 now.I'm happy for Lake Catholic community and hope they pull it out but how did they not end up in Div III due to competitive balance? My guess is they just are not drawing from as many Catholic grade schools as they have in the past and it is just a core group headlined by places like St. Gabes and Mater Dei, sure helped them with their multiplier. Regardless this run should help them when going up against NDCL where they overlap. The new Crown Conference should help too, with no more Benny & Hoban on the schedule it is much more manageable as the computer points needed in Div IV is a much lower bar than in Div III where they run into a much deeper cast in Region 9 than Region 13.
LC is 1-demntional. They have been all year. We may not like it, but it's who they are. Hopefully they can complete some passes down field to keep VW honest. But I don't anticipate them really changing the game plan up at this point. LC's QB will run the ball close to 20 times. If VW stops it they will win.BC was able to make the LC offense 1-dimentional - 40 total yards passing which is concerning to me if I'm an LC fan.

The last thing Lake is thinking or worried about is NDCL. NDCL has not beat Lake in 3 years. But yes, the new conference should be good for Lake.
Speaking of NDCL, where is parkhaven? Or my Mentor buddy? Both said LC was on the verge of closing.
Thank you for the back handed compliments Auggie lol
Caroline Jurevicius went to NDCL because the VB head coach there is her club head coach. Kinda hard to leave him during the hs season then go back for club. Don't think it works like that.He is cheering on the Notre Dame Academy volleyball team
By the way is there any back story as to why Lake Catholic did not get Caroline Jurevicius to become a Cougar? I think this educates some folks that students going to Catholic grade schools in larger metro areas are not property of a geographic area or even where dad went to school, they make decisions based off of what feels best to them.
