South Winn vs. Regina
- Thread starter tigerpride_32
- Start date
Keys for SW to win the game:
Offensively: Have to be able to run the ball and find ways to get Rommes the ball. They also cannot turn the ball over.
Defensively: FORCE TURNOVERS. They must get pressure on Cook and force him into making bad decisions (This will be very tough). Have to find a way to cover the passing attack (DNH found a way to pass the ball in their first meeting),
Keys for Regina to win the game:
Offensively: Try to run the ball on SW's tough D. Give the best QB in the state time to throw and he will find ways to win.
Defensively: Stop Hageman/Rommes. Do that, you will win.
If Regina is winning the turnover battle, they will win the game every time. South Winn is going to need to give Regina everything they have and straight up get lucky. This game will be a dogfight and I cannot wait to watch!
Prediction: Regina 48-20

Regina 42 20. Similar to the last time SW played in the dome against a juggernaut with a D-1 athlete at QB.
I'm going to say this game will be similar to the NFV v. Regina in last year semis (NFV was up 14-7 after 1st). I think you could see a couple of big plays by SW early, but then they will run out of steam and Marv Cook will make the needed adjustments. I do not think SW defense stands much of a chance at all, (nor does any defense) you can either stop Brinkman or Cook. Not both, one of the guys will tear the SW D to pieces. I think SW keeps it close early, but Regina pulls away to win comfortably. Regina 48 SW 21
South Winn will win this game. They are a perfect matchup for Regina. Offensively I see them putting up points, as they are a well balanced team. Also on defense I see Rommes playing mostly in the secondary in this game and he has the ability to man up anyone in the state. I think SW hits on big plays and his able to get a turn over or so on D and wins the game by a TD. Warriors baby!
Xavier is even more balanced, played a better schedule, with better athletes, yet Regina went on the road and beat them 21-7. South Winn is no Xavier. I'll say Regina has the clock rolling at some point in the game. Prove me wrong Warriors.
Cook is the top athlete on any field that he steps onto. ICR's loss to Solon was the opening game of the season and they have gotten better every game since. No doubt that Rommes is a great athlete, he is not equal to nor better than Cook.
ICR has the #1 offense and #4 defense in 1A and that includes games vs 3A Solon and 3A Semi-finalist (you forgot to mention ICR win over them) Xavier.

I've seen highlight videos of both. Different positions so they do different things, but I'd say Rommes is just as good an athlete. He's just not as tall. Now I think he's bigger than what Quikstats lists him at (6'1"), but Cook is listed at 6'5" and is every bit of that.
The only difference I see watching these highlight videos, besides the fact that one throws the ball more than the other, is that one likes to celebrate their big plays a bit more than the other......
You're not going to hold back Regina's offense for an entire game. Can South Winn score enough to stay with them?
I don't think so, but luckily we'll find out. This is a great match up. The best four teams made it to the Dome, it should be fun to watch.

Cook is definitely a beast but I feel the pressure of his senior season is going to get to him and he'll throw 2 interceptions both to Rommes. Regina will keep it close but South Winn's explosive pass game along with there Strong run game will be too much to stop. South Winn 33-31.
Watching highlight film on Rommes all they do is throw it up or do the quick flare screen. 90%+ of the deep balls occurred when the QB sat in the pocket for 4+ seconds not the QB scrambling and creating a play. Regina will be able to get pressure that the majority of teams on South Winn's schedule couldn't get if they brought 6 every play. Throwing a jump ball works on teams of lesser ability as well, but the better the opponent the more deflections, the more interceptions, and the harder Rommes is going to have to work.
Rommes will have a good game, just not a good game by Rommes' standards.
Cascade had a better deep ball threat in Nate Bergfeld. He had 72 catches for 1168 yards and 14 TD's on the season. And, they had the superior QB in Lieurance who threw for 2570 yards, 29 TD's and 2 INT's. Regina beat Cascade 38-14.
Rommes is a great player though.
Two great teams. IC Regina obviously has the history and played a very tough non-district schedule. Just so many weapons to stop. I think South Winn will have to put up a lot of points to have a chance. They seem to have to playmakers to do it. Is Regina's defense as good as last year? Turnovers as usual will be the key to the game. Either way should be a great game to watch and both deserving to be there.
Didn't get to watch the game, but was wondering everyone's opinion on Rommes. I have seen the hudl on him and he is a good player - I feel that Brinkman and Cook are the best athletes on the field when they step on. Complimented extremely well by Phillips and Stengr.
Rommes definitely was one of the best athletes on the field in that game. He was clearly a focal point of their offense, especially considering they spent the whole game playing from behind.
He is also a good example of one of the few weaknesses I think Regina has, and that's the ability to cover quality receivers. Certainly not 1-on-1 at least for an entire game. They constantly have to double team or blanket a guy like Rommes, or even Landon Peed last year, otherwise they'll win those battles, particularly on the jump ball throws, the majority of the time.
It's obviously not a glaring weakness, because they still manage to bottle teams up and keep them off the scoreboard, while putting up 50 points of their own. But that seems to be one of the few places that you can beat them every now and then, however you just can't make a living off of that because they will adjust and they won't simply just let a guy like Rommes have free reign in the secondary, or constant mismatches the entire game.

Rommes is a great player. But, the Regina defense handled him better than I even expected them to. He broke free for one long TD on a short slant where the defender fell down. Other than that one play, he had 3 catches for 49 yards on a couple of great jump ball wins. He rushed twice for -1 yard.
I thought the best part of his game on Saturday was actually his punting. I don't know if I've ever seen a better punting performance. 7 punts with an average of 50.7. Including one for 76 yards. Impressive.

He ended his career 2nd all time in Iowa high school history with 3340 yds receiving and 43 TD's, must not have been many above average db's in the last 4 years.
Pretty sure Rommes sat out the second half of many games this year, against "lesser" opponents, so he wasn't racking up stats in games that were out of hand. He's 1 of 2 players to have over 3000 career receiving yards. Don't be bashing the kid, if Cook played wide receiver (which he probably could) and had thousands of receiving yards, would you be saying they were against lesser opponents? Or would he just be good? Are you saying Ian Malaby from North Cedar isn't as good as his stats show because he plays against "lesser" 1A opponents?
Give Rommes and the other athletes the respect they deserve. Congrats to Jordan for an outstanding career!
