Anna is coming off a 41-14 loss to the Minster Wildcats and Coldwater is coming off of a 55-8 win over the Fort Recovery Indians. Anna's backfield is impressive with Shappie and Osborne so we'll need to be on our A game to win this one. The cavs are playing well and this is another challenge. Booster raffle night for the cavs!

Coldwater 35

If Anna runs that same defense against Coldwater, It will not be pretty for the Rockets. I have not seen a worse scheme on that side of the ball against Minster in a long time. Blitzed middle linebacker almost every time and sometimes an outside backer also, then played deep zone in secondary, sometimes 25 to 30 yards down field. I thought I was watching the Cleveland Browns with Jabrill Peppers from a few years ago. They let Brogan eat them alive. He was dumping the ball to receivers and running backs and Anna D-backs were still dropping in their zones. Anna had a few pressures and sacks early but Minster adjusted and Anna did not. The open gaps in that zone were huge. Then you get in the red zone and Brogan becomes a really big problem. Coldwater 49 to 21. Too many good Athletes for the Rockets to handle. Anna will score some points, but really not that close of a game.
 
I was impressed with Anna after their win against Brookville. I expected them to compete much better against Minster than they did. Perhaps that's more of an impressive showing by Minster than anything? Either way, I would expect Coldwater to be too much overall. I'll go with:

Coldwater 35

Likely a Region 24 Championship preview as long as the bracket plays out and both stay healthy. Just don’t see anyone else really challenging them. Was at the Anna/Minster game and some of the Anna blitzes just got them in trouble
 
Anna definitely would've gone punch for punch with Minster last week but they had some real issues once the field got short. If they can score in the red zone this could be another close game.

They stall out on drives and it'll be a running clock.
 
I prefer whennCW comes out and tries to run like week 1 and 2....set the tone...tonite pretty much falling back into the old form.

Getting the ball 1st... bet we try to come out and run.
 
Penalties. We've had too many. Anna is certainly a capable football team. Running the football has been difficult tonight for us so credit the Anna defense and Anna has connected on some long passes which has hurt us. We definitely needed that score at the end of the half but we have things to clean up
