Division IV Region 14 - Projections & Predictions

• oberhaus

  

  I'm so disappointed that Evergreen came out and laid an egg against Bryan...just like 2006. Theywould have been in had they won and they get down 14-0...They did make a game of it but you can't dig yourself a hole like that.

  Can Orrville jump Genoa? Right now it looks like Orrville can jump Ottawa Glandorf but thats about it
• 5knots

  

  With a win over Wooster tonight in the 100th meeting Orrville will jump Genoa for 3rd by 0.2 points. At least that's the way I read it.
• thePITman

  

  Yep. Orrville wins and we travel to Orrville. Orrville loses, and we travel to Genoa. I'm not sure which I would want. But either way, we need to bring our A-game to get our 1st round win. Go Triway Titans!
• birddog23

  Im guessing the Comet faithful will be cheering for Wooster tonight. I dont think Genoa wants to meet up with O-G in round 1
• thePITman

  

  How are Genoa's defensive backs? I remember last year O-G's defensive backfield was highly touted for "slowing down" Kenton, and they slowed us down, too. Orrville's DB's are fast and athletic and matched up well with us, but not many teams have the same athleticism. How about Genoa?
• OQB

  

  I don't think any team wants to be matched up with O-G....they are going to be a tough out!
  
  
  Colt fans don't get your panties in a bunch after that statement....yes you guys are going to be a tough matchup for anyone too!
  
  Just hope the Riders come out and take care of business tonight for that one last home game!

  Our DB's are pretty athletic but fundamentally they need to improve vastly. Mistimed a lot of jumpballs and didn't seal off slant routes properly which would spell trouble against a Spread passing attack
  
  And tonight I hope Orrville wins because if Genoa is going to ever take down OG it'll be at a home in front of a crazy loud crowd for Genoa. South Carolina the other week proved you can beat a team a little above you with help from a great crowd
• oberhaus

  

  Looks like OG is traveling to Genoa. Orrville is taking care of Wooster quite easily.
• OQB

  

  Orrville 42-17 with minutes to go....Bring on the rematch with our other rival Triway!!!

  Have you been to the Genoa games lately I would hardly call the crowd loud and crazy. They better get their passion back for this team if they want to be a factor against OG.

  Congrats Orville!! Best of luck in the post season!

  flagman baby. come on look who they have played. the comet faithful with come through friday night
• OQB

  

  Thank you Dover...same to you as well!
  
  As far as Genoa fans are concerned...as long as they have their traveling trailer park/tailgating they will be the craziest fans you'll see haha. I'm still in awe at the amount of tailgating and campers etc at last years Orrville/Genoa game, blaring MC Hammer among other old rap songs haha!!
• theflagman61

  I know I just want to fuel the fire for a passionate crazy loud crowd because it feeds the energy on the field when Comet stadium is rockin
• shook_17

  

  orrvilleqb you like that? ha we enjoy it. have a good time while we are at it. that was a great game last year. IMHO
• OQB

  

  haha! I think this year's games are going to be better than last year....
• OQB

  

  Shook_17...I was very impressed with the size, enthusiasm, and support for a division IV school! Keep it up....That game was an instant classic, and one I will never forget haha!!
• shook_17

  

  hope so! i love me some good playoff football. and of course some genoa wins good luck to everybody in region 14 except if you play genoa. hope the state champion comes from on of us

  absolutely an instant classic. the game was amazing. def the tail of two halves. hopefully get something like that this year! im excited to see the crowd with a home game. whoaa
• OQB

  

  Yeah, I'm sure everyone and their great great grandfather will be there to support the Comets.
  
  That is the game of the week in our region:
  Ottawa-Glandorf @ Genoa
  
  Talk about two great teams and one has to go home...
• BRF

  

  I bet that oberhaus is ticked off that he didn't start this successful thread.
• bwcomet89

  Genoa was as close as one of those 0-10 teams winning one game from being the #3 seed. If only Rossford pulled it off last night against BG, lost by 5pts. But so it goes.
  
  Week 11 matchups:
  #8 Mansfield Ontario @ #1 Bellville Clearfork
  #7 Huron @ Elyria Catholic
  #6 Wooster Triway @ Orrville
  #5 Ottawa Glandorf @ #4 Genoa
  
  Obviously, like many years, the 4/5 matchup is most intriguing. OG coming to Genoa in a rematch of the 2008 Regional finals where Genoa won big, but this year OG is stacked and they showed traveling doesn't bother them. They traveled to Triway last year and came out with a win. It will be hard hitting, in the trenches type of football where the toughest team will prevail. But what is the scoop on the other 3 matchups? Triway and Orrville meet and we'll see if Triway can avenge a 41-19 loss. Huron and EC meet to try to keep the game under 4 hours. And quite frankly I know nothing about Ontario. Fill me in?

  Looks like the toughest game will be in week 2 of the playoffs, when cf plays either genoa or o-g. Being a cf fan, wish we would of ended up 2nd or 3rd and left that game till the final.
• Old Rider

  

  hippo...counting your chickens before their hattched? Never a good idea come playoff time...ask Genoa and do not overlook anyone!
