I know alot of people will be picking regina in this one but after watching trent johnson run last night behind there great oline, against a tough saints defense. I feel like this game could go either way. Just looking to get peoples thoughts on this great matchup.
Regina vs. Dike thoughts???
- Thread starter golden eagle52
- Start date
Like all teams this time of year how many players that are dinged or playing at less than 100% will have a huge impact. I am not sure about Dike but Regina has had some significant bumps and bruises and the WB was a physical battle, good to have a full week of rest and an extra day. The trainers and docs have been working some extra hours getting people ready to go. How is the health on the Dike side?
Dikes got some bumps and bruises after taking a tough beating from the saints. That was quite the game. but i feel like dike will be ready to go and trent johnson will get 150 for 2 tds in the dome. should be a great game. and dike wins 35-34 will be amazing game
Ok isn't this a 1a high school football game if trainers and Doctors are working extra hours to get kids ready that is mess up if a young man is hurt that bad he doesn't play omg.i think some fans think they are playing on Sunday's
So no doctors or trainers to help kids? Not sure having people to look after kids equates to playing on Sundays.
People are banged up this time of year, and even in high school you are going to try to play when so much is at stake, especially if you are a Senior.
The only thing I'll argue about home field is that the kids are use to playing there which is a big advantage. But, if you go to every semifinal game like I do, you'll see that Regina will have fewer fans in the stands then all other teams, including 8 man. So with DNH only 10 miles away I'm sure they will outnumber Regina fans 10 to 1. Not sure it will make a difference, but sad the community doesn't support the Regals any better then they do.
I think the criticism of the Regina fan base is warranted as far as student attendance, but I think one of the reasons for low adult attendance is the fact there are also 2 other high schools in the same city, so you aren't going to get a broad community support beyond the parents, family, and alumni of Regina. Throw in the fact that they make it to the Dome every year, it is understandable that attendance would be lower for Regina.
I know I feel bad for the kids. It's like these kids are not as important as the kids that have come before them. It's like we've been there and done that, but these kids haven't.
Here's the deal.
This is a college sports town, specifically college football. There are a lot of transplants from the Chicago-area that are pro sports fans who could not care less about the local sports scene except for the Hawkeyes on 13 Saturdays per year. Not a lot of people here give two sh*ts about what Regina has done in the last 6 years, or that IC High made the quarterfinals and won a state championship a few years ago, or that IC West is decent again. It just doesn't matter to most people here, if they're even aware those things are happening. It's not the same as a small town, where the high school dominates the news cycle. The Press-Citizen covers the high school games in their Friday edition, as does the CR Gazette, but it's Hawkeyes #1 here the other 6 days of the week.
The Regina community is tiny. There are 140,000(?) people here 9 months out of the year. Regina is a 1A school. Of the population, I'd guess that less than 1% of the population here gives a damn about what Regina does.

Definitely interesting as private school followings in most other communities seem to be incredible.
