St. X new PrepNation #1, DLS #2, MNW #3

[concha]

Major shake-up by Jamie.

# School Record Note LW
1. Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Xavier 15-0-0 beat nine teams that were nationally or regionally ranked this season 2
2. Concord, Calif., De La Salle 12-0-0 won 16th straight section title 3
3. Miami, Fla., Northwestern 14-0-0 tied Miami-Dade County record with 29th straight win 1

BTW, there is no guarantee that X will stay there.

If DLS crushes Centennial, then who knows?

Their not gonna crush CC. CC will score a lot on DLS. The key to the game will be how CC's defense does against the DLS offense. I think they match up really well with DLS.

[concha]

Given X's performance in the finals, a DLS leapfrog might be tough.

DLS has not been challenged all year. But Centennial is #10 in the nation per PN.

A big win and DLS could do it, despite having basically nothing else on their schedule this year.

St X is the better team

no question

[DLSfanNW]

St X is the better team

no questionWhy? Because they played a harder schedule? Their O has struggled to score at times and their D allowed many more points then the Spartans.

They MIGHT be better but No Question?!

nothing DLS can do in one remaining game can overcome everything ST X did this year

and DLS may lose or win in a close one

sorry

I am convinced if any team deseves a number 1 it is St X thi syear

CC will score "lots"...hmmm DLS Starters give up 14 or so points in 12 games in the first half?

I know CC has a big time QB and RB but somehow I think DLS will be ready.

St. X no doubt with schedule strength is the BEST hs team in the nation.

There will always be doubt, its just like the BCS system. Its fun to look at and debate about, but its not perfect.

Agreed. No way to pick or find the best HS team in the nation. X ran the table with arguably the toughest schedule in the country, so they deserve consideration.... as do 3-4 other teams IMO. Rest assured that other polls will not have X as #1.

DLS hasn't played a team with 1/2 the offense of CC. I'd put the over/under on CC at 24.

[phsbomber]

DLSfanNW,

DLS has given up 119 points in 12 games for an average points per game allowed of 10 points a game ...9.92 if you are rounding.

St Xavier has allowed 133 in 15 games for an average points per game allowed of 9 points a game...8.67 if you are rounding.

How does your statement " and their D allowed many more points then the Spartans." reconcile with the above facts???

I think DLS has an incredible offense and has scored far more than St Xavier...some is offense some is style...its a little harder to throw in the snow...so most Ohio teams are more run oriented and lower scoring.

As A St X fan I would love to see them play and would rate the game a 50/50 toss up. I have absolutely no problem with DLS also making a claim for #1 based on an undefeated season and a great offense. I am a St X fan so I also think we have a legit claim...as do 5 or 6 other teans who are undefeated and played tough schedules.

[skyway28]

I think X would matchup VERY well with DLS. That would be a great game; I'd take X 24-21.

[DLSfanNW]

As Consumerman pointed out the DLS starters have given up 21 points in the first half of its games playoffs included (Starters are usually out by the second series of the second half) so that is about two points allowed per game while scoring about 31 points on average.

Cannot argue with the X strength of schedule though. Congradulations on your National Championship.

The Bombers earned it.

[pied]

What's odd to me here is precedence.

Last year Lakeland stumbled through much of their season, yet remained #1 in this poll. MNW had one close game save the SLC game and drops. While I don't have a horse in the race it does strike me as odd.

If I wre a FL fan I would point out that SLC was having it's way until an injury and still should have won the game except a silly play/call in the waning seconds certainly would have advanced. Much like St. X clarifying their close win in 3 OT's because of a young signal caller.

In any case, it does appear odd to me why this year and not last year.

you dont understand how DLS plays its games
I will give you some examples

in 2007, DLS led Serra 40-0 a few plays into the second half
the game finished 40-22, Serra's very talented QB had two 90 yard(!!) plus TD RUNS against the DLS scrubs late in the 4th Q
that is 22 points a game, in reality the first team defense shut out Serra

in 2006, DLS led Elder 49-18 after three Q, one ELder TD was a fumble return against the offense (even though replays showed the runner's knee was down when he recovered the fumble)
anyway ELder scored 20 points in the 4th Q against the DLS scrubs
the game finished 56-38
that is 38 points per game, in reality the DLS first string defense allowed 12 points in 3 Q

in 1998, DLS played a Bakersfield team that had 8 shutouts in its last 13 games, DLS led 48-0 two series into the third Q
Bakersfield scored 20 points in the 4th Q against the DLS scrubs
the game finished 48-20, in reality DLS first string defense gave up 0 points in three Q

these are just a few of similar games

In 2007, DLS has outscored its opponents 368-21 in the first half of 12 games

St X gave up 24 points in one first half

you cant use "averaged points allowed" as a true measure of DLS first string defense

[Bordertown]

There will always be doubt, its just like the BCS system. Its fun to look at and debate about, but its not perfect.

As they say in Parliament - Hear, Hear!!!!!!!!

[D-Swizzel102]

But we can use the quality of offense those defenses are up against...and St. X's opponents have much better offenses on average than DLS's. SOS figures into the whole points comparison thing, and you can't argue that point. You can beat teams 80-0 every game. If those teams suck terribly, doesn't mean anything about being the best team in the nation.

DLS beat serra 40-22 and led 40-0
serra beat 5 league champions this year

dls average first half score was 30-1

DLS beat an 11-1 team 37-0 that had previously lost one game to a section champion by 1 point on a last second FG

etc etc

its easy to blow off dls accomplishments by saying they beat teams that sucked 80-0

do better research next time and dont make dumb generalizations

you would be better off seeing the results and saying "that's impressive"

not well st x played a tougher schedule

[consumerman]

St. X's opponents have much better offenses on average than DLS's

really?

prove it

st eds scored 125 points all year

elder lost to st eds

moeller couldnt beat a mediocre mv team

de matha beat a losing team 7-6

and we hear over and over ohio teams are more conservative run oriented because of the weather

try using some facts instead of blanket unproven generalities

your statement has nothing to do with real facts

But can I not make that argument? Prove that the offenses DLS played aren't as tough as the ones X played...Can you do that? It's all relative.

BTW, Ed's scored 0 against X, Elder scored 7 points that mattered in 2 games against X, DeMatha scored 7, and Moeller scored 14 on their senior night against their archrivals. X's defense took care of business in those games. I was referring more to Mentor, Coffman, Trinity, LS, etc. as the "high-powered offenses" X faced.

Classic example of confirmation bias. Any stat you see that helps your argument will automatically be declared the "correct" fact in your own mind. Any Intro to Psychology class will teach you this. Therefore, it is impossible to argue with you, for anything we say you will simply disregard, because you are acting out of your emotional responses to info presented to you as opposed to using your actual reasoning ability. It's the same for everybody. Basically, nothing we argue about on here is worth a damn thing, because we'll never change anyone's opinions.

You don't understand Consumerman,

didn't you know that the St. X fans cling to the SOS argument for dear life. Thats all they say. They should have a sign that says "SOS" hanging around their neck, so they wouldn't have to say it all the damn time. Didn't you know that your opponents are way weaker than X's and your schedule is crap? lol

We hear the same crap out of them every year.

IMO there are around five teams with legitimate claims to #1. MNW, St. X, DLS, Katy, and Prattville. I think any of these teams could be #1 and I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Not Katy...Personally I dont think they're top 5 material, although I may have just saw them on a not so great game - i didnt see anything too special with them, as for Prattville, no idea about them.

[WoodyHayes]

Any thing other than that is a friggin joke. X could not move the ball against Coffman. Not a knock on Coffman but comparing Coffmans defense to MNW is laughable. As for Southlake Carroll, they are REAL fortunate to get beat by only 8. This team traveled to a hostile environment and physically put the worst 8 point a-- whuppin known to man. They adjusted and shut SLC out in the 2nd half.
Why do I pick MNW as the best?
1 - The defense would devour Ashley like a shark eating a baitfish
2 - They would get to your soph QB and whupp his a--. This team was laying out SLC kids and bloodied Riley Dodge up pretty good. If Hurley would have stayed healthy and developed the passing game, it would have been a better game.
4 - MNW would have scored at least 3 times on X. Remember when the kids were blowing by your defenders but the QB could not get them the ball? This Harris kid to Streeter would have put the hurt on anyone.
5 - X had a fine team. But these kids and the athletiscm of MNW is comparable to one very few teams have.

Now a game that I would love to see would have been 04 Colerain against the Bulls. There would have been more speed on that field on both sides of the ball that you would need an oxygen mask to keep up.

[Baron Von Steuben]

Just watched DLS versus Centenial. DLS has very good skilled players. I believe X is better up front and wins by 7. Bothered me that DLS blew a 31-7 lead and was deadlocked in the 4th quarter. The best teams put their opposition to sleep with that kind of lead. DLS hung on for the 37-31 win.

That team DLS played looked like they had a bunch of greased little hogs. Hard to grab em. If DLS did not play so disciplined ball and hit there assignments, they probably lose. I sure like that Coach Ladd. I did not know he teaches theology. Is he a religous man? Seems like a cool customer to me. Did you get to watch the MNW game? I believe X and DLS is a good game but MNW has seperation between em all.

[Chicago]

I saw the game on TV.

Great interview with Ladouceur before the game.

He said that most teams watch film of DLS and then figure they can beat DLS.

He said he imagined that Centennial, like almost every other team, felt they could beat DLS after having watched them.

Then he said that after he watched film of Centennial, he, too, felt like they could beat DLS.

[Chicago]

DLS is new #1 in CalPreps/MaxPreps.

In PrepNation, DLS and Centennial both dropped, which is plausible, if they both looked bad (or not great, depending on how you want to put it), but still rough.

If you beat #10 37-31, and they only drop one, it's hard to see you dropping three.

It could make sense, but just because it could make sense does not mean it does make sense.

I am not sure how big the difference between the #5 and #11 teams in the country is supposed to be, but if you assume it's supposed to be six, it's going to be hard to maintain any logical consistency throughout all of the teams in the country.

[consumerman]

Bothered me that DLS blew a 31-7 lead and was deadlocked in the 4th quarter. The best teams put their opposition to sleep with that kind of lead.

yes how did that weak nogood team DLS ever win 151 games in a row?

St X is truly awesome as they have had 2 undefeated years in the last 25 years

DLS has had 18

maybe ST X can teach DLS how to hold on to leads and win better\

IDIOT

[consumerman]

DLS hung on for the 37-31 win.

it least it didnt go to 3 overtimes against an unranked team

and in the semis, ST X woud have lost had the other team had 15-20 more seconds on the clock

talk about hanging on

DLS scored on a long drive when the game was on the line and then stopped the other team on downs and then intercepted the last 2 CC drives

hung on

yeah buddy while ST X dominated St Iggy and the semis

LMAO

DLS oustcored its 13 opponents 394-28 in the first half, never once giving up more than 7 points in the first half

St X gave up 24 points in the first half of ONE GAME

CC offense is light years better than Trinity's so dont even go there

[Chicago]

Did any of you see the freeze-frame of the DLS kid laid out horizontally tackling the QB on the 4th and 2 and forcing the pitch that resulted in the five-yard loss?

And the kid with pitch responsibility was right there to tackle the RB.

Absolutely typical DLS. Right place, right time, right technique, selling out.

I thought it was nice that maybe the key moment was the trailing team getting stopped on a pitch to the left on 4th and short, just like last year.

[Chicago]

I think you have to watch DLS a lot to believe they match up with very athletic teams.

Time after time they beat extremely athletic teams. And then everyone thinks that the next extremely athletic team will beat them. And then they beat that team. But surely they won't match up with the next extremely athletic team. But they do. And on it goes.

I wouldn't necessarily pick DLS over Xavier or MNW, but I wouldn't pick against them, either. So the other teams are, or seem to be, more athletic. The past has shown that that's not really a determining factor in DLS games.

The teams from the Drew/Williams/Landri era must have been phenomenal.

you often see misinformed peole (sorry but a lot of x homers on this site make the same mistake) saying two things that dls backers laugh at

1) "DLS has some good athletes but our line will outplay their line.....with the inference they are bigger and stronger"

2) "DLS will wear down because a lot of their guys are forced to play both ways"

the reality is DLS wants small quick lineman, not big hulking slow as molasses lineman

and DLS is not forced to play some players bith way

they choose to

DLS plays the way it wants to

their record stands alone

see coletrain post #33
umm sorry I made it past intro to psychology and took advanced classes such as abnormal psych and you may very well be a representative case
I also minored in philosophy in which debate and logic were lower division requirements

ummm st x gave up 24 points in 1 first half
against one of the best offenses in the country dls gave up 7 first half points
and only allowed 28 points in 13 first halves total

despite playing thise offensive wunderkings elder, moeller, st eds and dematha
I have seen grade school teams with better offenses than these pieces of garbage

oh by the way DLS completed its 18th undefeated season
and won the CIF Division 1 state championship

california is just a wee bit bigger than ohio

and is still undefeated in the herbie against those tough gcl teams and a cleveland area power

celebrate some more

and let us know when you have 18 undefeated seasons and a number 1 ranking in at least poll 9 separate years including this year

in a game that st x gets all the breaks vs DLS they ight win 24-20
in a game that DLS gets the breaks they win 35-13
in a game which no team can make excuses I take DLS 28-20

You are quite the -bag, aren't you. DLS blows a 31-7 second lead, and the sum of your argument is that DLS won 151 games in a row in the past; which means jack-s**t this year, loser. You're pathetic. It really bothers you that X is better this season. Get a freaking life.

actually what was funny was your comment that good teams know how to sustain and put away a team when they lead 31-7

since DLS did not do that despite winning the game, the inference you made is DLS is not a good team

the 151 games in a row was a lesson to you about your smartass remark

DLS was more dominant in its win in ths state final than St x was in its state semifinal

there is no question

St X allowed 24 points in one first half
DLS allowed 28 points in thirteen first halves


DLS is now ranked ahead of ST X in at least 2 polls
and St X is ranked #1 in just one poll total

how do you ike them apples?

st x being a better team than DLS is your homer opinion

then we wil ask them who calpreps rates higher after the season is complete

According to calpreps, X's schedule still blows DLS out of the water. I dont think you can debate the merit of the St. Xavier schedule. DLS being ranked #1 by calpreps just goes to show that SOS is not the determining factor in their ranking system. And I have no beef about the final ranking in any of these polls. X, DLS, or MNW are all fine choices.

Any congrats to your Spartans by the way on another title. I missed the game on TV. Do you know if Fox Sports will be replaying it anytime soon? I really wanted to check out Centennial as well.

And on another note, Cali and FLA football were on another level this year in terms of depth of elite teams. I give a slight edge to Cali from the games that I saw throughout the year.

I read somewhere trhat 8 PM tonight west coast time will be a rebroadcast

i can assure you if this year is like last year, all 3 games will be rebroadcast many times in the next few weeks as I painfully had to endure the Canyon - DLS game over and over

I agree all 3 are fine choices I just like the irony of the St X apologists always touting calppeps as a source for SOS and now calpreps ranks DLS #1

Just watched DLS versus Centenial. DLS has very good skilled players. I believe X is better up front and wins by 7. Bothered me that DLS blew a 31-7 lead and was deadlocked in the 4th quarter. The best teams put their opposition to sleep with that kind of lead. DLS hung on for the 37-31 win.

second point

I guess The Patriots cant be any good either

after all they had a big lead in the AFC championship and the Colts rallied to beat them

right Einstein?

oh I forgot, NE lost, DLS won

SHEESH

from an Ohio homer whose champion trailed by 10 points and gave up 24 in the first half of a regular season game (DLS trailed once all year, 7-0 but tied it up on their first possession), DLS gave up 28 points in 13 first halves, ST X gave up 24 in one first half

a champion that took 3 overtimes to beat an unranked team

a champion that barely scraped by a semifinal game 10-7 when the other team had the ball DEEP in ST X territory and just another 20-30 seconds on the clock and St X goes down

but you are right, only good teams hold on to leads and DLS and the Patriots can't be good teams

riggggggggggggggggggggght

D Swizzel is a St X homer
what else needs to be said


D-Swizzel is also going to college for free. I felt like that needed to be said.

I'm a St. X homer. You're a California homer. That's the point I made before. Nothing we say on here will make a bit of difference. Standard psychology. You should know that, what with your self-proclaimed extensive education in the psychology field. Why keep trying to drive home a point that you know very well won't register with any of us Ohio HS football blowhards? Just makes you seem like a pompous, stubborn, chest pounding idiot. And a computer may have you as number 1 in the country, but it appears on average, St. X dominates... http://calpreps.com/cgi-bin/2007/polls_view.pl?poll=compilation&week=12%2F17&submit=submit

And also,
State Champs.

If you are going to college for free you must be right about everything.

So I will not address any of your arguments.

But if any of you people who paid for college, or didn't go to college, say ridiculously stupid things, be assured I will point it out.

Dont know if anyone posted about it yet, but I think someone asked.

Orlando Boone "Braves" (14-0) vs Miami Northwestern "Bulls" (14-0)
Final Score
***41-0 Miami Northwestern***

Miami Northwestern dominated Boone, even after only scoring 6 Points in the first quarter. A Defensive fumble recovery for a Touchdown and a Blocked punt for a Touchdown put the game out of reach.

Side Note*

Miami Northwesterns Defense, despite being on the field for over 30 minutes, only allowed 100 Yards total Offense (Miami Northwestern had 375 Yards)

Seniors '08. Of course I'm right about everything...

And thank you. That's all I ask.

Did any of you see the freeze-frame of the DLS kid laid out horizontally tackling the QB on the 4th and 2 and forcing the pitch that resulted in the five-yard loss?
.

That was key.

How about when Amack leveled Bass in the first.

I thought it was classy when Bass said "The best team won"
