NF win comes at a cost losing mason shidigger (not sure if that's how you spell it) for the remainder of the year with an ankle injury! Gonna be tough losing 2 of your better players in the last couple of games. Next man in!
 
The Warriors gave up the incidental onside kick when they were down 30-26 with 2 mins left before half. Bosco went down and scored with 15 secs left in the half to go up 38-26. Then in the 2nd half they just physically dominated.

They repeatedly ran the same plays and there was nothing we could do about it. Just physically bigger and better and by the time we got to halftime we were so banged up even if we were able to keep it close they physicality would of worn us down Bosco would have prevailed in the end.

No joking or saracasm involved here at all, I think the state champs really did win tonight in Elkader. They threw the ball better than we had seen prior and Bagby though he looked shaky at times got the ball to the open man and the bunch look and Trips packages were tough to defend.

#52 Dalton Smith was a much better offensive player than defensive player IMO. When he got 2 hands locked on our guys, we were done. 6'3" 255 is no lie. #33 killed us all night, he's a good player even better in person than on tape. Bruess played like a stud tonight as well. He played quicker than he also showed prior.

Congrats Don Bosco. Good luck next week. I think whomever you play, you will prevail.
 
It's tough to beat Boscos depth. They played probably 20 guys tonight with very little drop off. I think we rolled out about 11 guys, maybe 12.

That in a nut shell sums up the contest.
