The attendance at HS games overall keeps dropping. It isnt a reflection of any luster of this game declining.
I agree with you. I actually see a potential shutout. 28-0. Ed's right now is just on a much higher level. They are headed towards a showdown with Medina. Then probably St. X for all the marbles.
No it won't. You haven't watched this year's Ignatius offense.
I think that was true for a long time but this generation of Eagles doesn't think of Kyle or Ignatius as the juggernaut I think a lot of us on yappi think of them as. The last time I saw an Ed's team that I thought looked better than St. Ignatius and lost was when Shaun Crawford fumbled twice in 2013? Since then I think there have either been a clear cut better team or they were even. This year, Ed's looks much better even than a 100% healthy St. Ignatius team. Although I worry that if there is a rematch in a few weeks and some of those Wildcats are back, that presents a difficult challenge mentally for a very talented St. Ed's team this year. Cross that bridge when we come to it though, hopefully knowing that this first game was a solid victory.
We will find out this week if the Eagles' O has progressed since week 1. Iggy does have a formidable D and plays the unique stack scheme that can pose problems for an O that does not see it often. Eagles' D should be fine and Iggy will find it difficult to sustain drives. Field position will be critical as usual. Short fields can help an O.
Black helmet stripe tape ... CatAlum are you back under an alias? ?I hear the Eagles will be donning new alternate uniforms this week - with a single Jumpman branded black masking tape stripe running down the helmets.
