Just because I live there doesn't mean I don't communicate with anybody from said schools.

Newport wasn't one dimensional last time. They actually out gained the Breds. I don't see them making Newport one dimensional this time around. Should be a dandy.

Agreed!

From what I'm hearing from people who were there, the WV fans were just as bad and embarrassing. Heard quite a few cheap shots took place as well.

When was the last time the city of Newport had something this big to look forward to? IMO a change kills some of the mood for this game. City rivals playing outside of the city they are located. But I guess it's all about money, not the game. :idunno:

Rumor has it NCC is trying to move the game away from Newport.

They have never met in the playoffs.

The Newport/NCC game was 22-17. Nut exactly a blowout.

Regardless of who you could potentially meet in the next round, you must take care 1 week at a time. Nobody is overlooking anybody.

for the record: OL can legally hold IF they're hands are inside. EVERY OL does it. The key to it is when the DL starts to move one way to reset the hands. If the OL continues to hold then it will be called. OL are taught to hold. As a DL, if you shoot the hands and engage before the OL then there is no way you get held and dont get the call, plain and simple.

Its been a while since the community had anything to really cheer for. It is good to see them starting to show they care about the success the kids are having.

I have to agree. Selling out causes play action, if WV has any, to open wide up. If the Cats can play straight up then I think they win.

Talked to a couple people earlier today and "supposedly" Newport is planning to take a bus or two of students and fans to the game.

I didn't catch the Scott game but it looked as if they had their way with Newport. As for the NCC game, 70 of those came on the first drive, after that Newport seemed to have tighten it up pretty good. IF and that is a big IF Newport can force WV to the air I have to think that favors Newport. If they can't stop the run, which I think they'll be ready for, it'll be a lot of ground and pound. I do however think Newport has a good enough to contain the run. as for the crowd, it may or may not play a factor as WV doesn't have enough seating to cause lots of noise.
