This year, SHS has given up 6.2 ppg on average in 12 games. They shutout half of their opponents. Only 2 opponents got 20 points (St Ignatius, Miamisburg). The other 4 opponents who scored on them were shutout for 3 quarters (Lima, Wayne, Centerville, Northmont in the 2d game). And, Northmont lone TD came late in the 4th qtr when SHS had been subbing the entire 2d half. In many games, quality opponents struggled to get 1st downs and cross the 50. Marysville's offense will have their work cutout for them. Assuming SHS plays well and doesn't make uncharacteristic mistakes, realistically, Marysville will be lucky if they score more than once. For them to have a chance to win, their defense must expect to hold SHS to 1 score or less like Coffman did 2 years ago. With that said, Marysville's defense is capable of doing that. I think it will come down to which team makes big plays and cashes in on opportunities at crucial times.
