Region 18 Final: Coldwater (12-1) vs Liberty Center (13-0)

[StateChampion2012]

Coldwater is coming off of a 42-7 win over the Edison Chargers and Liberty Center is coming off of a 45-14 victory over the Oak Harbor Rockets. This is the matchup everyone wanted. Tigers and cavs round 2. The Cavaliers are playing their best ball right now. On the flipside, so are the Tigers. Something is going to give.

Back at Lima again?

 

[Dynamicbill]

Well, here we go again. Two good programs. Two good coaches. Two good teams. One winner.
I want to savor tonight's victory before looking at this one.

Back at Lima again?

Was told by a Ref and OHSAA member that yes Lima has already bid on a game last week but who they get is still up in the air as every week you have to re-apply.

 

[WHS1991]

I believe the winner of this game will get the Germantown Valley View-Waynesville winner.

State reorders after regional finals

I just don’t see either of these teams traveling across the state to take on South Range or Perry. This should be a great game.

Cavs really surprised me this week with their thrashing of the Chargers. I really thought Edison would outscore the Cavs, just like I am thinking LC will win this game by two scores. It’s going to be a great game, and hopefully the livestream will work. The camera for the LC OH game was down, and couldn’t find it on the radio anywhere. As of right now I’m sticking with the Tigers 35-21

Last year LC did, and I would wager if they win, they’ll be playing one of them.

Yes. Especially if Wheelersburg wins. Almost 5 hours between Perry and Wheelersburg and 4hr 15 to Canfield

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Coldwater's run defense is improved over last year but is it good enough to keep the Cavs in the game? Can Coldwater run the football enough to compliment one of the best passing games in Ohio. Suffering from Mactosis right now will go with Coldwater 21 - 14.

 

[iam416]

If Wheelersburg wins, they're definitely playing R20.

If HP wins, then Coldwater would play R20 and LC would play R17 depending on winner.

I think HP wins, so I think the 2nd scenario is what plays out. As a SR fan, if SR can upset Perry then I'd rather play HP (who I think is really good) than either of these teams (who I think are a little better).

Anyway -- this is probably the best regional final in state (with SR-Perry maybe 2nd). I have LC but I think it's close and I'm looking forward to the game.

Good luck to the Cavs! D5 is pretty loaded this year. In my opinion, Perry is the team to beat. Looks like they've won all their games comfortably, but that 24-6 win over Kirtland really stands out.

Free if there’s a tall oak tree near by!! lol

 

[Krasula24]

Wasn’t impress by coldwater against archbold… i still remember what LC did to archbold. Give me LC by 21+ still

 

[Buck1977]

Back at Lima again?

Either Lima, Findlay or Defiance would be my three guesses

 

[Buck1977]

DP has Liberty Center by 7

Calpreps has LC by 6

LC vs SR last year in Clyde

Hardly traveling across the state

 

[Buck1977]

Yes. Especially if Wheelersburg wins. Almost 5 hours between Perry and Wheelersburg and 4hr 15 to Canfield

They will find a neutral point in the middle

LC might win, but I'll take Coldwater and 21 for anything you care to lose.

 

[Lysdexic04]

I understand that’s how neutral sites typically work, but if say Wheelersburg, LC, Perry and Valley View win. You’re talking having a 2 1/2 hours from Burg to VV and 3 hours for LC to Perry vs 5 hour from Burg to Perry and 2 1/2 from LC to VV. Seems pretty logical.

Buuuutttttt it is OHSAA we’re talking about here.

 

[Targeting!]

DV is freaking loaded.

 

[sapientia et veritas]

I'd expect Cavalier nation to talk like three touchdown underdogs and play like three touchdown favorites again.

 

[Buck1977]

Sounds like Coldwater at LC will be at Lima Senior

 

[Thavoice]

I'd expect Cavalier nation to talk like three touchdown underdogs and play like three touchdown favorites again.

Coldwater is just a 2nd place, 6 seeded squad who was beaten by a school 2 divisions smaller and just hopes to at least score on LC this time.
