RD 3: Africentric 12 @ Fort Frye 51 Final

[EasternDspy]

Nubians beat Trail in OT. They just won the schools first 2 playoff games ever.

How in the world did Buckeye Trail lose that game??? I see how BT competitive has been in the IVC lately, against competition better than Africentric... and they lose?!!

How do you see this game? I’ve heard they are fast Judge is a good player as well as the FB. They struggle vs the run.

I can’t think of a time Africentric has ever been good in the trenches against a decent line, on either side of the ball. And that’s where the Buckeye Trail upset becomes really curious. Still, I would presume Fort Frye has twice the line that BT does. Easily. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Africentric play, but I’m inclined to think they’re just going to get mowed over up front... especially on defense. And it’ll get out of hand quick.

Nubians might respond early, but I genuinely see this as a running clock in favor of the Cadets by early 3rd quarter.

49-6 FF

Oh, I would also agree with the assessment that they’re fast.

[EasternDspy]

Cadets line is big and athletic they should wear them down.

[FANOSPORTS]

The Fort can name the score again.

[EasternDspy]

I meant Justin Fudge not judge. Rb for Africentric will be fastest kid on the field.

[EasternDspy]

The Fort can name the score again.

I hope so.

[sfForL]

Don't know much about Africentric, but i do know Fort will make a deep run, so ima take them by alot early.

I think it's pretty cool how sports brings different communities together. We have played Africentric in other sports, and it's pretty fantastic to get to host them in a playoff game. In a year like we have had, games like this are valuable tools for unity.

There's a week to get ready. It's enough time to throw together a hog roast, square dance, and tractor pull to round out the day.

Fort by a lot

Hope y’all are all right.

Who has Africentric play this year?

[EasternDspy]

Seeing that Trail had one player run for 229 yards and that Africentric only had 172 yards for the entire game makes me think Trail should of won.

[EasternDspy]

Who has Africentric play this year?

They played Eastmoor somewhat close.

Thanks Eastern

Cadets and the wing-t move on

Cadets and the wing-t move on

They did some new stuff last week. They are starting to open the entire playbook. In the reg season only ran about 50 % of the plays.
