This is quite the matchup for 2nd round. Both teams have VERY solid defenses. Withrow has played very weak competition minus Trotwood and St. X. Withrow was able to hold Trotwood to 7 and X to 14, which is quite impressive. Winton Woods has played overall stiffer competition in the ECC and like Withrow, held Trotwood to 7.
Withrow can score on offense, unlike WW. However, can they score against WW defense? Not sold that they can. X provided a good blueprint for handling Withrow's weapons. Man them up with 2 safeties over the top. Press and rough up those receivers. They were very frustrated all night.
Now, can WW questionable O-line handle Withrow's D-Line who didn't have any issues against a GCL O-line? Not sure on that one either.
This could be a low scoring game, and also will probably have multiple Defensive touchdowns.
I want to say Withrow wins because they have a kicker, but my gut is telling me WW pulls out a close one. It would be wonderful to see the Tigers make it past the round of 32 for the first time in the school's history.
When was the last time these 2 teams met? It's been at least a decade if I'm not mistaken.
