Maybe if they combined it would be the size of a pep band for basketball games.The burning question is which school's band will play the national anthem!!![]()

Lol and why is that ?That's not possible, I have suspended privileges on at least 2 that I know of.
The main issue for Walsh is in the trenches. Hoban has what amounts to a D-I college line on both sides. Walsh has decent high school linemen, but they look like 8th graders or freshmen compared to the Hoban linemen across from them. That disparity showed up right away last time they played.
Walsh having some talented players back helps, but unless they secretly imported St. Ed's linemen, I can't see how they hold up long enough to sustain drives on offense, put up some resistance on defense, and stay in this game.
Lol and why is that ?

Good question. Let me know if you find out.
Yeah. I'm thinking of staying home and watching on TV. Has anyone ever used boxcast on Roku to watch these games? Only $10. And my living room will be warm and dry.Weather probably going to be a factor in this game.
Temps in the low 40s with an 80% chance of rain at kickoff, diminishing to 30% by the end of the 4th.
Forecast has been pretty consistent since Sunday.
Yeah, kinda stinks. Beautiful fall weather in the forecast every day for the next week, except of course for Friday. Might nullify the move to Infocision as far as attracting casual fan attendance.Weather probably going to be a factor in this game.

Regardless of weather conditions this Friday night, I do think Walsh will keep this a closer game than last time around. That often happens when teams meet for a 2nd time in the same season.
A good example of this in Division II is Avon and Olmsted Falls. Avon blew their doors off in the first meeting in the regular season 52-10. Then they matched up again last week in the playoffs and Avon only won 33-23 in a much more competitive contest. If Walsh can put some scores on the board and keep the game within striking distance too as it approaches halftime, then they could have a psychological edge too as the Hoban kids, coaches and fans realize this one isn't gonna be over at halftime.
There's also the example of STVM last year, who kept the regular season game with Hoban close, then got their doors blown off before halftime in the playoff rematch. It's obviously not a stretch to say Walsh will keep it within 50 this time around, that game was just one of those nights where things got out of hand and snowballed. Will the outcome still be in doubt come the 4th quarter, that's where Walsh needs to get this game. You would think a weather game would lean Hoban's way with their physicality, but it only takes a couple of weather related turnovers to flip a game on its ear.Regardless of weather conditions this Friday night, I do think Walsh will keep this a closer game than last time around.

If I'm Walsh, I go slow, run the ball and use as much clock as possible. Maybe mix in a few short passes/screens to offset the pressure and tell the players to stay in bounds. Try to keep it close and hope for Hoban turnovers, penalties and other mistakes.
I'm thinking Hoban by around 17ish.
I expect a balanced attack. Walsh needs to (and will) pass a lot. Maybe get a few hoban pass interference calls to go their way to keep the ball moving down field. But if cant get good passing game going gonna be a long night.
Probably spent that week scouting Massillon.Not sure how much it matters, since they already played, but Hoban had 2 weeks to prepare for the previous match-up.
They had a bye week the week before they played WJ in the regular season.
Still living rent free as oil can trolls the Hoban threads.Probably spent that week scouting Massillon.![]()
I am a Hoban grad, go to a lot of games. I go to Massillon games too. I am just a big fan of high school football. As far as your question it is hard to say. Both teams have 1 common opponent St Eds. I don't think you can go by the outcomes of those games for several reasons many I already gave on this board. Hoban lost the last 2 state championships because of poor quarterback play. 2 interceptions, a fumble, inaccuracies etc. Hobans quarterback this year has gotten better as the season has progressed, but you don't know how is he going to play when the lights are the brightest. The last 4 games Hoban has played Massillon 3 out of the 4 Hoban was the better team and I predicted they would win. The year Massillon won I felt Massillon was the better team and predicted they would win. This year I honestly don't know. Let's see if both teams make it that far. You never know in sports. Like they say that is why they play the games.Hoban fans.. as a stark county native and lifelong hater of Massillon tiger football how do you stack up against them this year? Hope to see you defeat them once again .
