Region 23 Finals: Shadyside (10-2) vs. Fort Frye (11-0)

[Steely Dan]

Congratulations to FF. Got to give credit to your coaching staff, to create five turnovers on INT's, well, they scouted well, picked up on some things, and you were prepared and took advantage of those weaknesses that your coaching staff picked up on. Well done! Best of luck next week, regardless of who you play, it is going to be a different ballgame from this point going forward.

Eitel says it’s Kirtland

Every week all these experts pick against Fort Frye and every week they win by 10 and more. Fort Frye’s first regional title! Kirtland will be a totally different ball game but tonight we take time to reflect.

Fort kinda sat on that 2 score lead in the 2nd half. Shadyside did not call a run play the entire 2nd half. Fort Frye pressure dominated this game. The DBs straight shutdown the Tigers.

Congrats to Fort Frye...you did what it takes to advance.... that's why it is TEAM game. Rooting for you guys (hopefully) 2 more weeks. As for the Tigers, crushing to have Hendershot out so early. Defense didn't give up a first down til 2nd half. Shadyside will be back next year, I promise that. Very young team. But a win is a win. Go Cadets!!

Sucks about Hendershot. I don’t know why Shadyside decided not to run the ball it was so predictable.

taking the ff by a couple scores just think they will take over late in the game goodluck ff

I am guessing you haven't see Shadyside play. They will dominate Fort Frye in every phase of the game.

Mr 1000 Apparently you didn't know much about Shady, and definitely nothing about Fort Frye

Congrats Fort Frye!

Exactly they didn’t even get an offensive score. They didn’t even try to run it after being stopped a few time. I dunno why Shadyside tried to pass so much. They must of not watched Fort Frye vs Fairbanks.

Congrats Fort Frye!

Thanks

well I knew shadyside wouldn't be able to run on ff. it's just everyone wants to pick against us down here even our people look down on our kids like they are less than the well known schools.maybe that's the problem need the support that other teams get.itjust gets old people pick shadyside when every thing pointed to ff winning look at last year and what each team brought back.

[EasternDspy]

All this talk about how young Shadyside is but they had 16 Srs.

They return 9 on defense and 5 on offense.

Fort Frye 8 Srs

They 5 on offense 8 on defense

This could be a rematch in 2019.

I got ten bucks you will only here about shady returning people and worked harder

Shadyside QB who has been sensational all season was just off the mark last evening.

Shadyside QB who has been sensational all season was just off the mark last evening.

Fort Frye pressured him and hit him all night. He had 4 Ints all season well he had that in 2nd Qt alone. Shadyside didn’t run the ball letting Fort sit back in pass defense every play and just send the DEs. Fort Frye was the better team and has been all season ala one team (12-0) and other is (10-3). Shadyside offensive line really struggled.

He made some nice plays, so he is clearly a talented qb, but he wasn't "just off the mark." He was getting hit consistently.

This has actually been a pretty amiable discussion compared to a lot of other game threads. Shady has a good program in place, and I'm sure we will see them in some playoffs down the road.
