Don't know alot about ridgewood so only prediction I will make is a minford victory(of course) . Lets go Falcons you have a chance to do something special!.

[Westfan]

Ridgewood should know the way down here, playing at Burg and West the last 2 years. I don't know what they have back, but the last 2 years they have been good and could have won either game. They are very well coached, have a solid running game, but mix it up well too. I look for Minford to have their hands full here.

Did ridgewood look the same last year as they did against Burg 2 yrs ago? Good running, hard nosed betwen the tackles with a really good offensive line? I remember having to listen to the Burg game on radio 2 yrs ago and when Burg got up on them, RW passing game was very limited. Were they the same vs West? Could be a key. Again, RW has scored tons of points on people. Minford D im sure is up to the task. Good luck to Minford!

Good luck to my FALCONS in this one.imo the FALCONS have played the tougher opponents ,would be great to see 3 southern Ohio teams in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Just think if the Oaks would have been the #1 seed.

[Mikenmike]

i have heard ridgewood runs the wing-t and the coach does not like to pass. This could play in the falcons favor, the d is much better at stopping run first teams. Should be a good one in minford!

I was thinking they had quite a few seniors last year including a couple backs. They had a solid running game. They were driving before the half to tie the game when Journey intercepted it and ran it back 100 yards for a TD. Kinda broke their backs. I don't think they like to pass, but they could. They had enough of a controlled passing game to keep you off-balance.

Pretty Good Guys, but hey we shut Pendelton down and his numbers are far off from this cats, the difference is this guys is about 5'9" 180 lbs and pretty darn fast and elusive.

[fuzzhead]

Ridgeweed loses to another SOCII team. . .

Go Falcons.

[pbuck]

I feel Minford is a bit better than Ridgewood this game will be close but I've got Minford IMO

[MuletownManiac]

Has anyone seen the Generals play?

[RogueWarrior1965]

Has anyone seen the Generals play?

No but they played several Division VI teams. They only had 1 close game (a 1 point win over Malvern) and Minford had 6 out of 10 games that were 1 score contests so I think the experience in close games edge goes to Minford.

[Mikenmike]

Looking at the stats it seems like to me if you stop #5 you stop their offense. He gets the majority of the carries and has just about the same passing stats as the qb.

[knowledge]

Yeah it does appear that way, they go as Conrad goes, I look for him to get the football about 80-90 percent of the time.

[Mikenmike]

If you look at the stats against Garaway (4-6) he only had 19 yards and that was the fewest points they scored on the season. The majority of his yards came in the start of the season against teams with 5-5, 2-8, 1-9, 0-10, 5-5 records. He did have a nice game against malvern though who's 9-1 and usualy a pretty good team i believe. Had a good game against tcc who is a d6 playoff team this year.
