cubbie-man ^^^ The matchup everyone wants to see. I wonder if Xavier and LC do play, would the majority of fans from the west side of the state cheer for LC and the majority from the east cheer for Xavier? Or would you have more mixed feelings?

 

[cubbie-man]

I believe it would be East cheering for LC and west for Xavier. Each team has had its way with their schedule and people might like to see them lose.

I believe it would be Heelan vs LC and Xavier vs North Scott in the semi's. I think they are re-seading for the last four

 

[Iowasportsnut]

Then Heelan gets beat in OT to Lewis Central and Lewis Central goes on to win it. Although once Heelan rolls out the post season script on how to win playoff games don’t be shocked if they win it all. Coach Jansen is ready for all takers.

Bold prediction. I don't mind it at all, I just find it hard to believe any team holds LC to less than 38 points. I can't wait to see the"post season script", been waiting for it all year from Jansen.

 

[bball5050]

Guessing it is a 14 to 17 point win then the State will be put on notice that Roger is back and you don’t want that.[/QUOTE]

Are you all there?

 

[Kraftwerk]

Heelan will NOT advance one miserable round. Actually, once my uncle is elected to state council, we are BANNING all private schools from enrolling students

 

[Iowasportsnut]

This is great! I needed a good laugh... Even if they make it out of their bracket... You realize North Scott, Xavier and LC would all handle Heelan easily, probably prompt a running clock. There's a reason LC requested to play Heelan and they refused. This is good comic relief though!

Every 5-years Heelan wins it all. 2008, 2013 and maybe not favored but would not be shocked to do it again in 2018. Regular season means nothing, Heelan has the horses, experience, and tradition to roll in the first two rounds. After that it gets interesting.

They do have the material, but they're going to have to crank it up in the "want-to" dept. Against Spencer, there was little doubt who wanted it more, particularly in the first half.

But I hope you're right.

Heelan didn't "refuse" to play LC.

 

[cruhawk]

Everybody except for the "Boys In Blue" will be laughing on Friday night after Sergeant Bluff beats Heelan for the second time this year. Maybe if the Boys In Blue actually apply their superior "tradition and knowledge" they will be lucky enough get a participation trophy from their moms (who will hate football) for being third in the district. Again, nobody feared being matched with Heelan.

Don't you have homework to do? Don't forget....bedtime is 8:00.

 

[BHCrusader2010]

SBL has one decent running back and the rest is your gimmick offense. Does not work in the playoffs. Spencer got lucky on two plays.

Well BH you are a funny guy at least. Crusaders not the same team they were earlier this year after that manhandling. Have this week to get much better.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Can’t wait for this game. Let’s see if Heelan, a team who struggled with West, can stop the SBL trap offense

 

[StatewidePundit]

The Boone boys usually do not get much credit, and rightly so, they seem to mess things up more often than not, but they did get this playoff plan correct IMO. So congrats for once. Now don't screw it up next year.

Picks
Bishop Heelan, S.C. (7-2) at Sergeant Bluff-Luton (8-1) - What happend to Heelan? they were ranked top 5 at one time. Never know between two rivals but after seeing that Spencer score - SBL

Spencer (7-2) at Norwalk (6-3)- Warriors may have backed in but get to host. Spencer must be rolling but like the home team after such a long trip for opposing team - Norwalk

Carroll (6-3) at Lewis Central (9-0)- Lewis Central in running clock. Duggan going to get unleashed during the playoffs. No one comes close to beating Lewis Central in 3a. They could probably win 4a. - LC

Harlan (7-2) at Oskaloosa (8-1)- Air war. Osky in a track meet. - Osky

Pella (8-1) at Xavier, Cedar Rapids (9-0)- Quite a first round game which seems like a title game. Xavier in a tough physical battle as they get tested for the first time all year.- Xavier

Clear Creek-Amana (8-1) at Decorah (7-2)- Vikings have been rolling and have played a tough schedule.- Decorah big.

Epworth, Western Dubuque (7-2) at Solon (9-0)- Another tough first round game. Epworth has been battled tested, they win on the road.- Epworth

Waverly-Shell Rock (8-1) at North Scott (8-1)- Again a great first round matchup. Should be low scoring but NS with that more difficult schedule and good play as of late should pull away - North Scott

 

[Kraftwerk]

Heelan stopped that offense for 3 quarters and then SBL got lucky on 2 to 3 trick plays to win the first meeting. SBL playes terrible defense. This time around Coach will be ready for the tricks and may have a few of his own. After the game Friday we will laugh in your face when you get embarrassed and then prepare to drop an ass beating on Spencer or Norwalk. Go Blue!

I’m not an SBL fan, and will be there pulling for Heelan. I’ve seen both teams play and SBL has a superior rushing attack.

 

[Iowasportsnut]

Part of me hopes Heelan wins so I get one more week of comedy! Keep it going!

If you want to see trophies come on in to the school and you will see plenty. These are real championships not sectional and district runner up trophies. Blue is Coming for you!

Stop making us look bad... we are a 4A school playing in 3A bracket... Sgt Bluff moved up we went down because us boys in blue couldnt handle the bigger schools. Yes Sgt bluff walk through our halls to see the trophies but please please bring a duster along.. Good luck to both teams but I was taught common sense when I went Heelan and SBL (sports before learning ) has the upper hand on this one..

 

[leeps]

Was the Big Blue Machine under maintenance during the regular season? It must have been if a "dominating team" placed third in their district below two teams who they label as light work. I know exactly what is going to hit the boys down in Sergeant Bluff. A playoff victory and the fifth win in a row against the amazing Boys in Blue. Heelan says it's the best but in reality it can't even compete with the big boys in their district like Sergeant Bluff and Spencer.

Can't even compete huh? Interesting. Sounds like it should be a blowout then. Go Wegher!!! Wait.....

 

[BHCrusader2010]

BH and BS you are making it so we hope this game is never played lol. From what I have seen from BH lately, they better over come a lot to win this game.

Another stellar coaching job by Crusader. Wasted talent again. At least act like you want to be there.
Kids deserve better.

Not sure what heelan,s problem as been late in the season, its like they are coming apart at the seams, instead of getting better.....the first time heelan played sargeant bluff, it was sort of competitive game. i was lucky , i got to see the game on streaming in phoenix....
