Thoughts and predictions?

Awesome game and would be a fun atmosphere for anyone attending. This is what Rosecrans wanted and they're getting it.

Just for narrative purposes I actually think Hiland wins this game.

I like Hiland as well

Where finally back to full strength, just hope we can play some lock down defense on there good guards, last night was a little tuneup for Friday, hadn't played in ten days, starter's played about two quarters,was up 55-3at the half

Probably. I’m sure both schools look at this as the regional final game

Yep, might as well get bracketed together at sectionals and get it out of the way early and then take a couple easy wins to rest up for the regionals.

Maybe more like a district final since it would be impossible for these 2 to meet in the regional final. Grandview Heights may be a tall task!

With Rosecrans, this game means everything. This senior class is considered their last chance to make a big tournament run. And they (rightfully) believe they need to make a statement, by jumping on Hiland and beating them in front of a packed Rogge Gymnasium. Lots of people are excited in their community, and understandably so. The transition to 8-man has rendered their football irrelevant and they lost their softball program last year. This is full tilt and a win (and a deep tournament) is going to keep the energy for their community and keep their spirits strong. A loss and it’s going to be a huge, huge, huge, punch in the gut and be hard to recover from.
