Simply put: AP #1 vs. AP #2. Discuss.
Agree. Kirtland is not as explosive as they normally are (explosive meaning they beat your brains in & then pop a run/pass for 50+), but they are grinding teams down. Imagine this will be a repeat of the SR/Garaway game in that every down is going to feel like "oh man, we gotta have this".South range has a chance. It’ll be a great game.
Totally agree. Kirtland showed that on that last drive where they took up almost 10 mins of clock. They impose their will on their opponents.Agree.

Imagine the Garfield fans were looking at the score & time thinking "we're only down 1 score" then "we're only down 2 scores" then "we're within 20" . . .
Yea it was an odd decision tonight when Garfield scored at the 10:21 mark of the fourth to get to 18-7, and on the score (or XP) there was a PF against Kirtland pushing the kickoff to the Kirtland 45, and Garfield opted against an onside kick and instead gave Kirtland possession on their 20 after a touchback.Agree.

This first paragraph is how I feel exactly. Anybody want to throw a dart as to where this game will be played?Agree.

I was hoping for Ravenna for once. Seems Kirtland in years past has had to travel to the warren area a lot for this game.This first paragraph is how I feel exactly. Anybody want to throw a dart as to where this game will be played?
Given the OHSAA’s difficulties finding accommodating hosts in recent weeks, I’m wondering if this game will be played at Niles like it was two years ago…?

I wouldn’t mind that matchup either since Kirtland is right on the doorstep of passing Versailles for consecutive wins. I really enjoy the matchups with the MAC and now that Ironton lost Versailles has a legit shot of getting there. But South Range and Preble Shawnee stand in the way next.I will admit I know nothing about South Range, but I want to see Kirtland Versailles in the finals. Kirtland v. The MAC is always crazy.
I'll be honest as a St. Henry fan Versailles was the best team we played this year. Marion Local beat them but they shouldn't have.I wouldn’t mind that matchup either since Kirtland is right on the doorstep of passing Versailles for consecutive wins.

Hey we’re two weeks away from knowing state final pairings. Both Versailles and Kirtland have tough challenges ahead but hey I’m with ya and hoping a nice matchup with another MAC opponent.I'll be honest as a St. Henry fan Versailles was the best team we played this year. Marion Local beat them but they shouldn't have.
SH has a massive line but Versailles made us look small. I hope we can all witness it because it will be great.
Fairly certain coach Starkys son plays for South Range...I will admit I know nothing about South Range, but I want to see Kirtland Versailles in the finals. Kirtland v. The MAC is always crazy.
You are correct Jake is a junior, and Luke is a freshman.Fairly certain coach Starkys son plays for South Range...
Watched the Versailles-ML game and Versailles was the better team. Now that Garaway lost I'm really hoping hit a Versailles-Kirtland final. Versailles is big and strong and we know Kirtland.I'll be honest as a St. Henry fan Versailles was the best team we played this year. Marion Local beat them but they shouldn't have.

Happy?Location is……..
