23 Regional Final: Fort Frye (12-0) vs Newark Catholic (8-4)

Zanesville?

[Chalito]

Did I read that there were a couple ejections? Do those players have to sit out a game? Any key players for Ft Frye that will have to sit?

[EasternDspy]

2 Barnesville players were ejected not Cadets. Barnesville Star RB tackled on a 4th down play when it was 33-12. Gets up tackles Casey Lewis after the play. Then Hannah's jumps on top of Colton Sampson. Classless cops had to come to escort Barnesville fans. Which I don't know why they were so heated it's was started by Barnesville.

Did Dukes play tonight?

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

I would say Zanesville but pray it is anywhere else.

N.C. has had some bad luck there.

[Thereddragin]

I say Zanesville or maybe Maysville...

Dukes did play, but wasn't 100%

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

I set up top on the home side, near the 50-yard line.

I was able to speak to several really sound Ready fans, who were nothing but classy.

One fan, who seem to know his team inside and out, told me Dukes ankle was very tender and he could not cut.

He played a lot in the 2nd half, but did not get as many carries, as the speedy number 5.

Going by the numbers you might give the edge to NC but they haven't dominated. NC hasn't been consistent all year even losing a game they should of won. They are battle tested and Fort def won't be the best team they have faced. Now Fort has won every game by 17 or more. Almost all of the games except Waterford were decided before the 4th Qt. Cadets need to come in ready to play all 4 qts. Nothing about this game says blowout to me.

I haven't seen NC this year, they always seem to be up to the task tho...

I have watched FF several times this year, they are rolling right now, real team concept and well coached.

I have to ride the Cadet train, I'll pick FF to win

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

This will be my 2nd time seeing Fort Frye.

As for the game, the N.C. staff has done some different things on both sides of the ball(From what I can see) on both offense and defense.
I think this could be the biggest difference in this game.
On offense its no longer the short side of the field only.
On defense the short passing game is not as effective against hem as it was earlier in the season.

Field position has bee a big advantage for Newark Catholic because teams (PLAYOFFS) have been (for lack of a better word) scared to kick deep.


Hopefully this one is at Maysville.

You were at the Caldwell vs Fort Frye game last year.

[EasternDspy]

I was shocked that Barnesville kicked to Casey Lewis tonight. He took one about 90 to the house.

[EasternDspy]

I was surprised the Greenwave only beat Bellaire by 1. I went and watched Newark Catholic in the playoffs a few years back @Zanesville High. I remember them losing but it escapes my mind who they played. I know they cane in a big underdog and played tough. Was it Bridgeport?

If NY and NC played today, I'd take NY by 2 scores. Took NY with a new coach a few weeks to get rolling. Athens beat Watkins. Watkins beat Newark Catholic. NY rolled Athens pretty easily

I think Fort Frye wins the regional title

They did lose to Bridgeport. I remember the tailback for N.C was as banged up as a player could be and still gave it all he had in him. I had told his dad, who I called friend way back then, that his son had more heart then anyone I have watch wear the green. I believe special teams killed N.C in that one. As I remember a few people close to the programs, back then said it was a stupid decision that killed them in that one.

[EasternDspy]

I think the Cadets might have more weapons. I'm shocked that Casey Lewis wasn't district player of the year. He comes in with 39 Total Tds. He did get banged up. Engle comes in passing like 20 Tds 3 ints that's a nice ratio. Also how does a player like Brady Carpenter not make all team district! He's the best defensive player on the team leads them in tackling.
