Tbh wouldn’t say NDCL, St. Charles, MLC, SVSM are anything to write home about this year, either. But I agree no regression.
We will find out Friday night around 9:30
How I present my posts? It most certainly does....like I said we will see Friday night what the Walsh offense does....I don't see them scoring 34 pts again or anywhere close....more like 10-13 pts, but I could be wrongThe outcome of the game has 0 to do with how you present your posts.

Not enough grammatical and spelling errors.Is this Brian's burner?
1st I heard of and saw Lamar Sperling was last year v Hudson in the playoffs. He was the best player on the field among many many good players. Really special. Having said that there is a scenario Walsh slows him down and the QB has to do something. If that scenario were to occur it could unravel for Hoban. Hoban's plan has to be, get the lead early and continue to run the ball.....right? Or just keep giving the ball to Sperling and eventually he'll pop one? I'd probably stick with the latter. Walsh can do a lot of things well. Teams like that also well coached can hang around along time in football games. If it's close and Hoban get's tight, maybe they panic a bit and turn to the QB for plays. It could go sideways at that point. Maybe not likely but I wouldn't be surprised either.So the big question might be which unit had better development throughout the season - Hoban's D or Walsh's O?
Hoban's offense is going to score points - Sperling is tough to stop for a whole night. Can Walsh score enough to stay on top?
I never said they regressed, just that their opponents have been less than stellar and lower division, so of course they are gonna have the most points scored against them. Plus Benedictine HAS regressed on the defensive side of the ball, so the domination by Walsh is impressive but nothing to hang your hat on."Walsh didn't score 70 on Rogers, Saint Charles, and MLC - The offense has regressed. Also, those teams are NOT Hoban."
WOW. You're a genius. LOL. (Totally in jest).This just in - Hoban's good in playoff games.

No worries, didn't mean to be combatantWas not mentioning you, per se. Grind for 9 was the initial poster who said WJ's offense has regressed.
Apologies if you thought that was a shot at you.
The story of 3 wins in as many years and two years later going to states is also effecting people. People think Walsh is a team of destiny.Walsh 28 votes to win.
Hoban 26 votes to win.
Interesting. Something tells me people don't actually believe that ? and are rooting Walsh in.
Hoban... the big, bad empire ?

Heading to the game tonight and looking for a slobber knocker. Walsh has impressed me all season, losing only twice and both in OT to Hoban and Benny. Rivalry game and Hoban appears to be 1 dimensional with Sperling and a great D. Do not be surprised if you see some prominent players for Hoban going both ways in certain packages. Special teams will also have more seasoned and starters than usual. Terrell will now play his best players both ways as needed. Through the season this doesn't happen as most games the starters sit a lot of the second half. I also wouldn't be surprised if QB is also given the green light early to try a shot over the top. Hoban keeps if very generic all season and will open it up more as needed.
good luck to both teams.
That was painful! I was torn on that one being a grad of SVSM with a kid at WJ! I'm still shaking my head as why the Warriors gave it to the small back there.Wondering if the weather will keep some people home tonight. Big rivalry, chance to go the Final 4, and 2 teams that know each other extremely well.
This game has all the potential in the world to be one for the books. Similar to the 2008 WJ vs. SVSM game at Green Street with "The King" on the sidelines. SVSM stuffs WJ at the 1 yard line as time expires.
I would imagine @clarkgriswold knows that one pretty well!
Walsh actually went unbalanced with 2 big ten Tackle recruits to one side, with a big ten RB recruit in the backfield and ran the ball with a different back to the short side. Only needed 1 yard.That was painful! I was torn on that one being a grad of SVSM with a kid at WJ! I'm still shaking my head as why the Warriors gave it to the small back there.

Yep, Smith and McShane. I also remember the SVSM kid coming around the end and keeping Dehaney from making a second effort. It was the Wlsh equivalent of "Metcalf up the middle." A head scratcher 13 years later. Here's hoping for no last play head scratchers tonight.Walsh actually went unbalanced with 2 big ten Tackle recruits to one side, with a big ten RB recruit in the backfield and ran the ball with a different back to the short side.
