St. Xavier (OH) 35 St. Xavier 30

Good stats, especially in the 2nd half. This game can be spun either way, but I’ll take this game heading into the playoffs. Obviously, would like it better earlier in the season, but definitely a great test to see if the team can actually compete and potentially beat Manual, Male, and possibly Trinity.

Keep working Tigers! From here on out everyone is 0-0.

That is the plan.

I went back and watched the game this morning and here are some things that caught my eye:

1) Tigers’ secondary is an issue. Bruner plays zone, but with little to no pressure generated the opposing QB is basically just playing 7 on 7. The second half was better because they were able to generate pressure.

2) It is a huge benefit for the Tiger defense to go up against a Coverdale coached offense; extra practice in case they can get to Trinity.

3) Great snag by the Bombers’ punter in the 3rd quarter. Catch of the game nominee

4) Michael Dudey for the Tigers is a great compliment receiver to Mekhi Smith.

5) Thought the OL held their own. They had a few blown assignments but thought they played well against a very good defense.

Tiger highlights from game. One of best plays is at 1:10 mark when QB D. Bodhaine throws across is body rolling out to hit diving Grant Goodman in endzone.

Couple of quick questions.

1. What happened to Sivori?
2. Have any of the injured DBs returned?

@Tigerpride94 reported he broke his collarbone a few weeks ago.

I know at least one injuries DB has returned. He returned for the PRP game, I believe it was D’antoni
