Waverly 35 Minford 0

What's the playoff picture for Minford if they are able to get the win here?

[Blitz]

sadly it doesn't matter they r out

Really? That's crazy, a 7-1 D4 team and still out if you get that win, I feel like most years 7-3 gets you in. Just verified with Drew Pasteur, and the Falcons have a 4% chance to get in with a win next week, that Northridge loss could come back to haunt the Falcons if they are able to knock off Waverly.

But Minford isn't 7-1 nor div IV. You asked about Minford. Their playoff chances are on life support right now. Although I agree the Falcons have a punchers chance against Waverly, I don't think they'll win. If they beat Waverly coupled with the win over valley they have a shot at sneaking in, albeit a slim one.

[Blitz]

yea the Northridge game was critical

[Bleeding Red]

The Northridge loss was huge.

With a Minford win, they would essentially need:

Paint Valley to win out (Adena and Piketon)
Northwest to be Green and Symmes Valley
Williamsburg to win out (Very possible)
West somehow beating Burg would be a huge plus

Also-

Need either Harrison Central to lose (Not happening), Nelsonville York to lose to Athens, Ridgewood to lose one of the last 2 (wont happen) or Zane Trace to lose one of their last 2.

Not strong possibilities, but the Falcons need to take care of what they can control.....an upset this Friday night.

good luck to the waverly tigers.

I was referring to Waverly's record.

I thought you were asking about Minford because Waverly's playoff picture is perfectly clear. They will finish higher then 7-3 anyway. I guess you can see where the confusion came from old buddy.

Yeah, I was just stating that I found it hard to believe that beating a 7-1 d4 team like Waverly couldn't get Minford over the hump and into the playoffs with a potential 7-3 record.

Agree BR, Minford can only control what's in front of them. I have to ask, which loss hurts more? Rock hill or northridge?

If Rock Hill pulls out a win against either Chesapeake or the Grove to finish their season, it looks like that definitely is the one that hurts more.

Northridge has lost to every school in a bigger division than them as well as their wins coming against teams with losing records.

Minford-17

Waverly-16

[The Oaf]

I forgot all about you guys playing northwest this year.

[The pirate indian]

Waverly takes this one a little more serious witha 3 score W. 35-14

[vladimir]

What does the 2007 Waverly defense have to do with the 2010 Waverly defense? Completely different players and different head coach.

Vladimir brought it up and I was explaining why Westfall was able to run it down the Tigers throat that night. The Tiger defense was decimated with injuries. The 2016 Tiger defense does not have as many linebacker studs as the 2007 squad so losing Harris was a big blow.

Spot on. As both run similar offenses, If Harris isn't playing Friday night, Minford maybe looking to the same game plan as Westfall did back in 2007. Westfall's FB ate Waverly alive and the 2007 team had some great LBs. Also, I think Waverly was running the 3-5-3 defense.

Look for a running clock the 2nd half. Tigers will roll in Muletown! That field really stinks when it rains!
