I believe Malvern is living a lie. I believe Southern is living a lie. I have seen Southern on film twice. Independence is living a lie. Valley Christian gave their game away to Cuyahoga Hgts

I’m sure I’ll get my words in regarding most of this, this week…But, Malvern is very not fraudulent. Good enough to hand Lucas an L? Stay tuned… (let the interest build you chooch ??)

I don't WANT Malvern to win, I WANT Lucas to win out so we can destroy them again. I THINK Malvern has a possible shot to win.

McDonald was good. Mapleton wasn’t.

Credit the Mathews kids, they played hard. No quit, even after the score got outta hand. #5 and #25 specifically for the Mustangs are real solid players. And the QB threw one 45 yards in the air at one point. I mean, it was incomplete, but still impressive.
Anyway, just wanted to call that out. No, the game was never in doubt after Q1, but the Mathews kids played with honor and heart. Earned a lot of folks respect. Their core group is young I think? I dunno. May cause some issues as they get more experience, if they can get their #’s up a little.

All this post tells me is that Lucas takes their first round opponents lightly.
Is Southern any better than they were last year? I do think this year's St. Paul's team is better than last year's team that beat Southern pretty easily.

I know, and we beat them by three TDs.

Dalton beat this same basic Malvern team 44-14 last year in round 2, for what it’s worth.

I'm not concerned at all. We played a terrible half against Mapleton and still whipped them.

On Paper, it’s a mismatch. There is no doubt that Lucas is the better team. I’ve seen Malvern 4 times this year. Only Garaway really manhandled them. Sometimes when you play a team with nothing to lose, that can be dangerous sometimes. In the end, I think Lucas will be to much for Malvern to handle.

I’m a game better than everyone thinks.
Good luck to all the remaining teams ?
Longtime reader and new to posting here from Huron County area ...
Not sure what you're basing the St. Paul comment on? They scored on the second play of the game and led 14-0 three minutes into the game. Is that struggling early? OK ... SC scored once on a busted coverage and missed tackle before half, then had one good drive to open the third quarter and made it a contest for a bit, but the Flyers led start to finish and ran for 461 yards and 7 TDs according to the newspaper. It was a one-score game twice for like two-plus minutes each time.
I agree with most on here ... JFK, Dalton, Lucas seem a cut above and the favorites, with St. Paul as a clear fourth team where if it played well or got some breaks, could knock one of them off. I suspect a week from now we're talking about those four teams
I honestly think Malvern has a shot. Looking at a few things that surprised me.
We all know Lowellville isn't great. Holding them to a goose egg is impressive though. Ballone is a great athlete and to not let him break one off tells me they are disciplined and can tackle well.
Malvern lost 22-21 to Sandy Valley, Sandy Valley then gave Garfield all they wanted.. That also jumps out to me.
I think it will be a one score game either way.

Being moved to Orrville...
I'll take Lucas still. 21-14.

You read my mind. I say all 4 of the "big 4" roll. All by at least 2 TDs. It's going to feel good for your guys to end CHs season for once. You guys owe them.Lucas wins by 14+
Dalton wins by 21+
NSP wins by 14+
JFK wins by 21+
Take it to the bank ?

I am certain that Dalton wanted this game moved to Orrville to be able to use their speed better on turf. I am also certain that Independence is thrilled with the move as well. Running the spread in the mud at Dalton would have been a challenge. Should be a fun game on Saturday.

If I'm lucas I keep the game at home. Muddy field is better for them and their offense. Turf is better for Malverns spread it out passing game.

We shall see. The OHSAA stepped in last time we got a crapload of rain and moved our 2018 first round game to Madison's field. The poor Hannibal River fans made the 3:15 drive in week 9 and took a 62-6 shellacking only to have to drive back 2 weeks later for a 42-0 beatdown. We did get new sod put in and it appears it held up somewhat decent.

Here's my honest predictions for this weekends upcoming games:
Lucas and St. Paul will be in closer games than expected. Both will win but I think by a td at most.
Lucas 28- Malvern 24
St. Paul 34- Southern 31
Dalton will give up a few points early but then wear Indy out and pull away late.
Dalton 42- Independence 21
Kennedy is really looking forward to this one and I think dominates. We have struggled with Heights' offense in the past but not this year. The front 7 will be too overwhelming.
JFK 35 - CH 7
