Ursuline is getting too cute with their play calling.

Vasj very athletic... thought they were comparable but think they might be more. Lynch loss is crazy big... hold your breath Irish fans in second half. Need to hit on some passes.

Best of luck to the Irish in the next round. Vikings had many chances but penalties and turnovers cost the Vikings, which you can’t do against a team like Ursuline.

 

[C'Town216]

I may have spoken too soon…

27-20 Irish with 4:40 to go. Wow

 

[C'Town216]

Ursuline will burn the clock and that will be the ball game.

Final

Ursuline 27
VASJ 20

Vikings attempt to climb a tall mountain, had a chance to hold the Irish on 4th and short to get the ball back but failed to hold them. Irish will take on Chardon next week. Once again, best of luck to the Irish next week, should be a good one between the Irish and Hilltoppers.

VASJ is going to be very very good next year.

Potentially State Championship good.

Irish seem to have trouble putting teams away in big games. That would have been unreal had they blown that.
Good game plan in second half to start throwing more. Balogh played a nice game in place of Lynch. Really hope he's back next week. He was noticeably limping on sideline.

Stadium seems kind of small for a matchup like this. Did the state get a little less strict on their qualifications for hosting?

says here capacity is 2.6k https://ohiostadiums.com/stadium.php?id=1875

I was at this game tonight. Ursuline brought a nice crowd.....St. Joe's not so much. Regardless, you could have found a place to sit on either side with no trouble at all.
