Don't act like you did not want BA to win, you go there. Your the student w/ the electronic megaphone and the big mouth. Am I mistaken on that??

The score of this game was not indicative of how MBA domanted this game. I left the game at the start of the 4th, but all the credit (not all but most) needs to go to the MBA O-line and Defense. The O-line punushed BAs defensive line and opened some huge holes for all the running backs. Congrats to both teams who are the two best teams in DII. And to MBA, what a great season (13-0), congrats to the coaching staff and team. Well done!

Hadoucken, please spare us your prediction (you stink at it)! I think your dislike for MBA has blinded you to reality. BA could win this game, but it sure is not a given. Both teams deserve to have a shot at the State Championship. If you take off your blinders you may be able to enjoy a classic High School football game / match up. Relax and enjoy.

Next weeks match up should be a classic, both teams seemed to have peeked over the lasts couple of weeks (strong all season). Hope the Wx holds up, I will not miss this game. Still going w/ MBA, by 3 points.

It's a great night for playoff football! Anyone want to change their prediction??

I would think that's a mistake if it's true. Good luck to both teams. I'm sticking with me previous prediction (right or wrong). I think that's it?? MBA 20 FR 7

Vandy beating Tennessee was an anomaly, but I will not go there cause this is a HS board. I just could not let that pass by. I don't think FR will win, but anything can happen. IF MBA comes in over confident (not playing fundamentally sound, physical play etc.), or looking toward the big game, they could get beat. I've been very impressed with how focussed they been all year. I don't see that changing. MBA 20 FR 7

Did not know you were the holder of the truth??

This isn't an English / poetry class, please spare us all and keep your comments to football! What has this thread come to??

Not this year, Hillsboro has too much offense and overall team speed. Should be a good game after last years loss, additional motivation for MJ (just not enough for a win).

Leaving BA out of it, I read the threads last week from CBHS and there was no way EHS was going to win the game. Was CB soft all year long, or just last week? That's an awful lot of arm tackes he ran through, 250+ yards worth. I would have to think that the O-line has to get "some credit" for blowing open some rather large holes?? Did Melrose or the other inner-city team @@@@ up those type numbers on your D-fense (maybe they did?)? Just curious

If that is true - I would not have expected anything other that what happened (42-10). Correct me if I'm wrong, did Ensworth only have a Frosh. and Soph class at that time?? According to previous posts they probably had a total of no more than 80 boys at the school in 2005. If there is an upside for EHS, it's that the team has gotten a lot of playing time under Bower's system (3 or 4 years). I'm not saying EHS will win this game, but if BA overlooks them like CBHS seemed too - it could be a very interesting game (remember the Mich. game). The last thing you want to do is let a underdog start believing in themselves, if it's close in the 4th qtr. anything can happen. EHS can not afford any injuries during this game (depth is an issue). On paper BA is the winner, let it be won on the field! Good luck to each team, hope it's a game both fans can be proud of.

I think MBA was the one Laughing Out Load after the first BA game. BA "may" take the next match up if they both play for the title, but you can't take the first victory away from them no matter how many excuses you give! You are the one that has to prove you can beat them.

Last year is over, everyone needs to get over it! Concentrate on this weeks game, after all it is the most important game each side has coming up. I did not make the last game between the two games, but hope to this week. Can anyone give a synopsis of game?

Why weren't they ready to play the first game?? That was a big game, sounds like more excuses. They have another chance, let's see what happens. MBA wins again
