Kirtland vs Fort Frye

[Buckeye2021]

It was posted here FF is the best team in the 740. So you have some banged up players, next man up. Play with what ya have. No excuses. Good luck to you, but Kirtland moves on to the finals.

efarns, do you think FF is the best team in the 740?

In mid season I would have said yes , not sure if they peaked early lost focus or injuries caught up but seems like they are turning the ball over and untimely penalties have plagued them better have there a game against kirtland and that may not be enough

No. For example, The Ohio Bobcats are way better.

This will be a running clock in the 3rd quarter. Kirtland BIG.

Maybe but maybe not.

Most people on here said Cadets would get blown out in 2018 Vs Kirtland. They lost 35–18 but Cadets had the ball down 7 in the fourth. They played very well that night.

I really hope I’m wrong. I followed the Cadets program since they played my team “Lucasville Valley” in the playoffs in 2012. Although Valley won that game Fort Frye has built a monster ever since. It’s been awesome to see because southern Ohio doesn’t receive much love. Like I said I truly hope I’m wrong, but seeing the way Fort played against Bellaire and Coal Grove these past couple weeks I don’t see how it’s not a Kirtland/ Marion Local state final.

As an OVAC Fan , a local Fan I’m clearly for FF , it’s going to be a huge obstacle to overcome , one that would clearly be the greatest win in school history .

Think both teams being running teams clock might go off quickly might be hard for them to put a running clock on the Cadets. I said this on another thread next time Fort Frye gets running clocked will be the first time they get running clocked. They only have 1 double digit loss since 2017 and that was the 35-18 point loss to Kirtland. Last time they were weren’t competitive was 2016 loss to Newark Catholic 41-7 in Elite 8. I believe that was before running clock was implemented.

Either way it’s been a great run. Cadets have played in 5 regional finals in 6 years and made 3 final 4s.

Yea penalties and injuries have been killer lately.

The next man up is 3 years younger and hundreds of reps behind the guy he is replacing, but . . . great speech. Really. I will go watch your movie.

Too darn bad, but it makes for a good excuse.
Cute reply on the best team in the 74-0, too.

Kirtland wins easy. Game will be over by 845. No passes and a running clock time will fly.

But seriously, I know you're right. The best teams on all levels know it doesn't matter who is actually on the field. They usually just draw their starting lineups out of a hat.

[efarns]

I'm a Fort Frye fan, but at full strength, I'd still put money on Kirtland and 24 points. I don't need "excuses" for anything.

[Jason Vorhees]

Hope Fort Frye makes it competitive makes things interesting down the stretch. A 1-2 score game going into the fourth and anything can happen. Unfortunately, I think that everybody in this Division is probably playing second fiddle to Marion Local, who’s only allowed 10 points since week 6 and has 10 shutouts on the season going into the state semifinals.

[EasternDspy]

Only 2 local teams get to play a game after Thanksgiving and Fort Frye is one of them.

WOW waving the white flag on Sunday . Surely espy can foresee a path for a fort victory

2 running teams, I think the game will go quick. I don’t see a running clock. I look forward to a good game
