This is a 1A first round game between two teams that used to square off regularly but haven't seen each other in a couple of years. Brossart was upset by Dayton in the first round last year and hopes to avoid a similar result against Bellevue this year. Brossart has scored 31 points or more in all but two games this year. Bellevue has won 5 games in a season for the first time since 2018, coincidentally a year in which they beat Brossart on the road 28-20 in the regular season. 

I don't expect Bellevue to threaten late in this game and there is a better chance we are looking at a Brossart running clock than a Bellevue win. But crazier things have happened.

This would be a huge win if Bellevue can knock off Brossart. With NewCath playing last night, I expect some NewCath players/coaches/fans in attendance for this one to see who they get in round 2.

Bellevue may compete some for a little bit, but I would be surprised if Brossart doesn’t win this more convincingly. I don’t know about a running clock but I doubt Brossart has much trouble.

All defense early. 3:34 left in the first, tied at zero.
