Your thoughts on this 6A playoff game.

The St.X Tigers are getting better each week the young guys are growing up and some position changes are now paying off Tigers steam roll the Dogs again 49-7.

St X wins by 28+ because Male is down this year.

Agree, X rolls as this years Male team is a mere pup of prior Bulldog squads. This hurts X because they need to give their starters a feel for playing an entire game.

Given the teams that are out there this is probably a perfect game for X prior to what most think will be a T/X rematch next week. Male is a team that X should beat, but they play hard and have a lot of pride. Male isn't going to just show up and lie down. X gets the advantage of a home game courtesy of Male pummeling a #1 seed on the road. Having said all of that I will predict 42-7 X, though I think it has the potential to be closer, especially if Male scores or gets a turnover early.

St. Xavier 35-7.

Little bit like the T/Manual game but I would say close first half then X pulls away to win by 3 td's.

35-7 sounds about right to me....the Xaverians are rolling.

2006 was when my kid played and his last play was a block to the defensive end for X.

 

My other son also had a win over X, this year. Hey, you have to grab hold when you can.

 

Good luck to both teams and keep everyone safe. In the first game X kicker got hurt on a field goal right before the half. The score was 35-0 at the time, just reporting the facts here. As a kicker's dad I hate to see these guys get hurt when its not necessary.

 

This game will be different, not saying Male will win, but it will be hard played.

St X 35 to 10

St. X wins big.
