DeSales (13-1) takes on NewCath (8-5) in a repeat of the 2013 Title game. DeSales is in the Finals for the 3rd time in 6 years, while NewCath will be playing in its 10th title game in 15 years. Do the Breds get revenge from last seasons defeat or does DeSales retain the title?

The experience factor is huge for DeSales and this enables the Colts to bring home back-to-back titles!

New Cath is playing great. I'm going with them.

Experience factor? Who did they play last year?

The Breds are rolling at the right time. Bring it back to the hill boys

DeSales by at least 3 TD's.

CAL, and Murray back to back. Tough road for us. I think our defense will lead the way again next week. We've only given up 13 points in 4 playoff games.

Ohh and I know the Shelby Valley folks told us all how great their defense was, but I never bought into it. Our defense is on another level than theirs was. Anyway. Good luck NCC. Safe travels.

I agree with ColtPride. I think the DeSales defense will win this one for them. If NewCath can keep it close though, they have some speed and playmakers on offense that could get them a big, big upset. And this is a huge upset if New Cath wins IMO. But we have seen more than a few huge upsets in this year's playoffs so don't count the Breds out.

Ncc would have to play a very clean game, (no turnovers and very few penalties) to pull this one out. The Breds are playing their best football of the year, but going to be very difficult again a good Desales team. But like they say, it's why they play the game.

Seems like De Sales plays a GCL style game. Dominate the clock and field position, make the other team get out of their comfort zone. NewCath is balanced enough offensively to pose threats. The key is winning 1st down defensively and avoid the dumb penalties that give a free 5 yards. NewCath always seems to be good for 5 plus false starts in BG.

I feel like this game has the potential to be one of the best games of the weekend.

Colts win a nail-biter. I'll go with 30-27.

If New Cath scores 27, they will probably win. No team has scored 3 TD's or more on DeSales all year. Most points anyone scored on them is 17.

If NCC can avoid the mental errors this wii be a good game. NCC has play makers and can bring the trophy home if they don't self destruct.
