HSF-FBS-FCS..... 11/14-17

Almost forgot to post the final game in Iowa

5 pm Class 4A Champ

Dowling Catholic pk
Cedar Falls 40'

Pretty much the same logic I used for the Kimberly game... Dowling has been here before to the tune of playing for the Title for the 16th time since 1972 (Won 8 times).... Now the 5 time defending State Champs are back on hallowed ground led by Jayson Murray (2,038 yards w/29 TDs) and the 4th leading rusher in the state..

Cedar Falls (12-0) has All State WR Logan Wolf, he is 80 yards shy of the school record with 1,746 receiving yards... QB Cael Loecher has passed for 1,949 yards w/29 TDs (only 2 INT) he is tied for the most thrown TDs at 29.....I can imagine that the game plan calls for a few passes to Wolf, who has had a caught TD in each game minus 1

So I checked both teams out on HUDL and noticed both OL are big and physical, but I give the edge to Dowling.... Both Defenses are the best in the state... Cedar Falls loves to blitz and stunt to try and confuse the OL.... Maroons have to account for Wolf who is a man among boys (No Iowa is lucky to get him)... Iowa commit MLB Jack Campbell is fun to watch and all over the field.... CF has logged 5 shut-out and Dowling has 6.....I imagine Dowling HC Tom Wilson will run a Cover 2 and bracket Wolf.... They may try to run at first to loosen things up but playing Man-to-Man is suicide with Wolf and QB Loecher is impressive....

So why am I taking Dowling? Until they lose they are still defending Champs and have been there before so has to help their confidence..... Dowling O-Line is Huge (averages 6'3" 286 lbs) CF can expect a heavy dose of Murray (averages 9 yards per carry).... Until they get beat I like Dowling to win their 6th straight Title.

2 units on Dowling pk WIN FS: D22 CF 16

2 units on the Under 40' WIN

watched most of the 2nd half of this one and it was a wild one. Dowling got the break they needed on a bad snap on a punt and had a short field to work with to get a score and get back into the game.
After that score you could see the air go out of Cedar Falls and Dowling gained the confidence they needed to get the win.
I bet Dowling and the over so I got juiced; glad you had both winning sides in this game :toast:

I tried to watch it but got called away so all I could check was box score....The last score was at halftime and Dowling had a goose egg on the scoreboard so I pretty much just called it a L and was hoping to Push with the Under *I guess the Murray kid was hurt and sidelined so I didn't give Maroons much of a chance.. Evidently, the backup RB took over... Sounds like Dowling D came to play in the 2nd half and held CF to 183 Total Yards......... What was even crazier was that Maroons completely took the Fox kid out of the game (out of the box score) and held him to 3 Receptions and just 8 yards... *Maybe HC T Wilson took my advice and bracketed Wolf with a Cover 2 :director::mj10:

Heading out to Carson City to watch Truckee High in the State Championship..... Have some friends who's kids play for Truckee.... Last time the Truckee played Fallon was like a 32-29 game.... Hope it is a great game again.
