What Happened to Bryce Hall is SE Warren? He didnt llay last week in their win against Newell-Fonda. Is he hurt, or did he get suspended? Alex Hommer was suspended for their Lenox game, but I was unsure if Hall would be back tonight or what.

WOW! All the road teams won!

 

[Iron Doc]

Based on a Twitter report, Don Bosco beat Rockford 80-6 early in the season.
Tonight Rockford pulled the monster upset beating the Dons in OT 32-26.
That isn't even comprehensible.
What happened?
Did the Plague decimate the Dons squad or something?

 

[Case I H]

New London, Fremont-Mills, and Rockford all 3 avenged earlier season losses tonight.

 

[K3814]

The Dons rushing and tackle leader was out tonight. Doesn't take away from Rockford's accomplishment but it definitely played a factor

Still no sign of Bryce Hall from SEW, last night. What happened to him?

Rockford goes from being a terrible 0-9 class A team to being in the state championship in 8 man! Talk about a huge jump of talent between classes!

3 out of 4 teams in the semi finals played 11-man last year. What happens is these teams have a lot of talent returning and then they play 8-man where they have 3 less guys, so these teams are not hurt by graduation. Either way, Rockford is an amazing story. I'll be curious if these teams can sustain their success.

I think Rockford has the upper hand in the finals. They are battle tested. Plus they have more 8-man experience from a couple of years ago so they might have some tricks up their sleeves still. Going to be a good game next week.

Not only was rockford 0-9 last year. But coming into this season they had lost 23 straight games. Something like 1100 days since they last won a game

Glidden-Ralston did the same thing when they won their 8 man championship in 2005 @ 12-0, becoming the first school to win both an 11man(1975 also 12-0) and 8man championships.
