Class 1A Season Outlook

[TD27]

Week 4: Dike 46, Sumner 6

Context is very important.

I think last year there was a 3 way tie between those three teams. SF over MFL, Dike over SF, and MFL over Dike.

It's great to read some banter on here. I thought maybe everyone had left. Obviously Dike is considerably better than SF and WB, we'll see how MFL does against Dike next week and see how WB does against Wilton & Regina as a measuring stick to see if anyone in eastern Iowa is competitive with DNH and Grundy.

Agreed on Dike over WB no argument over here. I have not been able to see Wilton or Regina play this year due to work. Unsure of how a young WB team will measure up against them.

Why is everyone calling West Branch young? Sounds like an excuse. They are currently playing a senior QB and their top running back is a junior. Most of their offense appears to be juniors and seniors with sophomores only playing a small role according to the stats.

Regina must be really young then. Out of the 9 players who have carried the ball this year, only one is a senior.
The QB is a junior. The leading receiver is a sophomore. The leading rusher is a sophomore.

Ok then Regina can be really young if that makes you feel better.

We will have to see how a really young Regal team matches up with upper class heavy rosters of both Wilton and West Branch.
Going to be tough.

 

[ISUfan00]

Ok now that you have got your obsession with West Branch over for the day. Go back to yelling at kids on your lawn old man

 

[Pinehawk]

That was the most discussion this board has seen in year, and you're ready to shut it down again.

 

[IGo42]

It wouldn't be a 1A message board without an ongoing WB vs Regina argument. This reminds me of the good ole days! 😆

Did I miss the debate? Bummer
Blame how has the new coach being received? Tough following a legend like Butch. Did he retain coaches? Traditions?
