6A Playoffs: #2 St. Xavier vs. #3 Male

[LongTimeReader]

No rain and around 40 degrees at game time.

 

That's not bad.

The winner of this game will also be my favorite to win the Championship.

 

The most interesting statement in this thread. Please elaborate. Trinity has a habit of revenging losses.

Not writing Trinity off, but both teams beat them, so naturally would be favored. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trinity won.

Both teams beat Trinity, why would they not be favorite?

Tonight is going to be a defensive struggle, both teams will struggle to get things going consistently on offense. If I’m St. X my goal would be to get 2 scoring drives from my offense. Then hope to get something from special teams and have the defense create some scoring opportunities. Definitely a game that could go either way, but I’ll go with the Tigers...

 

17-13

I read the pre-game article in the C-J today. I'm sorry but I can't remember their names right now, but what about the 2 defensive ends St. X has? Are they brothers? One was like 6'6", 260 and the other 6'5", 250. That is pretty formidable.

The rumor mill has St. X current QB (2nd stringer) tearing his ACL so, that puts the third string in as the starter for tonight's game! He might be the next best QB in Louisville (not taking anything from him whatsoever) but I would think that would give Male the advantage, Male 24 - St. X 6.

They are twins.

Does anyone know who is starting at QB for St. X? I may be late on this.

Unfortunately rumor is correct. Most likely Frosh QB will get start. I’ll be surprised if D gives up 24. I think it will be close game.

Is the freshman that good or is he simply the only option?

[KYFINS69]

If it is the Freshman QB from what I remember from the Trinity vs. St. X game, his name is Jack Sivori.

Correct. Just wondering if he is that good or is it that he is the only option.

He’s going to be very good down the road but probably best option right now. Will see how it goes tonight. I’m sure Male will blitz putting Frosh under pressure.

Wow. Injury bug hitting Tigers hard.
