[krazylegz]

Can't speak for this year's Farrell squad,obviously because ursuline just beat them,but that steeler team from last season wasn't losing to anybody in the Mahoning valley,sorry

The closer we get to this game tonight the more I feel the Falcons might drill my Irish...man I hope I'm wrong. Nothing better than a little pre-game at the Dawn

I like how you think

 

[Spread All Day]

Lots of armchair heroes want to pile on about my running clock comment, which I admit was hasty and ill thought out. However, if you believe that Farrell is just a run of the mill D7 school, then why are we even talking about this game? Fitch is about to play a team that barely squeaked one out against a D7 school.

Who said they are a run of the mill school?

I didn't realize WKBN was the TV home of the Ursuline Irish.

 

[Targeting!]

Wow. Fitch up 21-0 and driving. They are gashing UHS. Fitch is the best team in the area by far.

 

[TheChickenHeart]

28-0

 

[SteelValley]

Looks like the UHS staff needs to do a better job recruiting the local public school junior highs as they aren’t close to being on Fitch’s level despite their past 2 years of recruiting efforts.

It's not helping, nor have some of the one sided flags!

 

[falcons53]

Wow. Fitch defense keeps making plays. Giving up yardage, but two pick 6's are huge!

 

[falcons53]

And then that...

 

[wghfan]

And then that...

What?

 

[pigskin_nut]

Like I said earlier in the week, Fitch is just way too tough. This is a potential 16-0 team

hope so

 

[falcons53]

What?

Gave up an easy TD pass after getting a running clock with a pick 6

 

[Scipio]

Fitch is so fast.

 

[SteelValley]

Fitch looks great. Might have a shot in D2 /R5 to challenge Hoban.

That's be great

 

[falcons53]

Getting ugly. Refs doing a good job. Coaches on both sides need to get kids under control.

 

[sportster4321]

What a beat down. Congratulations to Fitch.

Fitch not closing well. Ursuline clawing back.

I highly doubt that, if they played (at full strength) Fitch, Harding, Ursuline, South Range, Canfield all in a row I am pretty sure they would lose at least once if not more

Agreed. Farrell is D6/D7 equivalent in a very average District 10 of PA (not the WPIAL/D7). It’s a very nice program but they literally play no one all year until rd 3 of playoffs. Little different than playing d2-3 Canfield, Fitch, Harding, Boardman, Ursuline, etc. They are playing the equivalent of Matthews, McDonald, Leetonia, etc type teams most weeks.

 

[wghfan]

There is not much to criticize Fitch on this year, because they have a great team. But they better learn how to close out games better. No way should Ursuline be back in this game toward the end

Ugly finish. Should have stayed running clock.

 

[WOT]

Fitch is really good. Ursuline just made too many mistakes. Best wishes to Fitch the rest of the way. They have a chance to go far.

 

[wghfan]

Ugly finish. Should have stayed running clock.

I understand a lot of teams get complacent being up 42- 7 in the 3rd quarter, but you still got to stay focused to close out

 

[Buckeye Elite]

When you have a solid run game that’s how you go at Ursuline. Fitch is loaded at RB and that’s the issue with Ursuline they can’t stop somebody that’s elite like Fitch. I’m sure they’ll put it together but chardon is going to run for 400 as it stands

 

[InTheYo]

Congratulations Fitch on a great game. Their DL was extremely impressive. They have a ton of size and speed. I think they proved tonight they are the best team in the area. Best of luck the rest of the way!

The Irish have to regroup and get back on track next week at Mollenkopf.

Final score?
