He has struggled this season. I recall one accurate long pass in the Mentor game and it was dropped at the Mentor goal line. That is it.

This is where they have really missed Elvis Grbac on the sidelines in recent years.

Great game for the Cats. They made some mistakes that they really have to start cleaning up before they play Ed’s and X, but they finally made some plays when they needed to tonight. I wasn’t excited for tonights game going into it but it was an entertaining game. They battled hard, caught a few breaks, and found a way to win.
 
Good win for the Cats.

Taliak has blocked a few kicks and that one was amazing.

Defense played well. Sperling for Hoban is spectacular.

The Ignatius offense is dreadful outside of Lenehan. I noticed Bodamer isn't seeing the field much lately. If that’s the case, fine, but other positions should be looked at as well. (Starting with QB)

Good win and crazy good ending. Weight room.

I've seen many times this year where he should just go down or throw away and he puts it up for grabs...

It's time for a coach decision. Martin, Spencer, and Webster. The present offense, Marty notwithstanding
is less than even mediocre. Make the bold moves. It sure can not hurt. Need of fresh blood.

Hoban clearly had better athletes but was out coached by the Ignatius staff.

Who coaches the special teams?

Coach Kyle has personally focused on special teams in the past. Not sure if that’s still the case now that he’s calling plays.

Having seen Hoban 4 times against Ignatius the last few years, they’ve really squandered a ton of talent on offense. They could be competing with the best of the best in D-1 every year with better coaching. They’ve had as much if not more talent than X, Ed’s, Pick Central, etc.

I’m not sold on Spencer as an upgrade to Pfaff at this point, but agree on Martin and Webster. Obviously Webster hasn’t been healthy, but we’ll see.

Spellacy also needs to be on the field somewhere. I thought he looked like the only D-1 talent on the field when he was starting at FS. Could help at WR also.
 
The passing offense this year is a dink-and-dunk game with largely slants, hooks, outs meant to work against off man/soft zone. Pfaff struggles to read the LB spy in zone coverage and his accuracy has been off on the few deep throws he’s had. The offense needs to develop the deep game to open space for Lenahan. Great effort by the D besides the one broken play on 3rd and 21. 2 defensive scores and 1 Special teams TD is awesome.

If the offense can develop the deep ball and Pfaff can clean up the mistakes, this team may win a few playoff games. If not, trouble.
 
I wish SIBN had replay capability. It looked like the blocked kick took a perfect one bounce into the Ignatius player who caught in stride. Also is the SIBN broadcast facility next to the Ignatius coaches booth? Several times some very colorful language came through. Also, I think this year's camera operator is the best SIBN has had a while. Kid does a great job.

I'm guessing by coaches since have heard what sounded like slamming before too

The ball was tipped by Taliak and spun up in the air. Pike caught it in stride in the air which was why he was able to run it back. The ball couldn’t have taken a better bounce.

Yes you could hear coaches in the background. Normally it’s not so audible, not sure what was different tonight.
 
For all of the negativity, this team has really done well since halftime of the Mentor game. They really outplayed the Cardinals in the second half and followed that with three wins, including the big one over Hoban. 6-4 is the likely ending, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they give St Eds and St X their toughest games of the season.

The defense played well but had some injuries again. (Likely to the best player)

Taliak has been outstanding on defense and special teams. Not a big kid but he plays hard.

Even if the offense gets an injection of young talent, (and I doubt it will) the QB play has to improve dramatically.
 
Have to mention again how good Sperling is for Hoban. Not big but crazy strong and fast.

Hoban's offense was basically giving him the ball and the Ignatius defense still had to gang tackle the kid.

To think he's only a junior is scary.
 
Yes, Sperling was excellent, as were Dawson and Trayanum before him. Hoban has had a tremendous RB pipeline. What’s even scarier is how good their offense could be with a little more creativity.

Tyris Dickerson was outstanding before these 3. He signed with Eastern Kentucky but now is at Notre Dame college
Before Tyris was Todd Sibley who is currently at Pittsburgh.

Nice!

Not sure why, but, the SIBN has already taken down the recording of the Hoban game while the Mentor and Euclid games are available for replay.

That’s so opposing coaching staffs don’t have an additional game and camera angle to scout the Cats. Standard operating procedure in high school and college football nowadays
 
Is it possible that Pfaff is overthrowing his receivers on the deep routes, when compared to his success last year, is that this year's receivers just aren't that fast? On a positive note, I liked his pass to Lenahan in the flat where Lenahan had plenty of room to do his thing.

Good to see you still in the football forum AZ. By the way, nobody uses the word pitch when playing soccer in USA. I know you’re a diehard soccer fan, but you’ll get there watching the wildcats at their prime.
