re: 5A Championship: Rummel vs. Barbe

I watched the Rummel-Mandeville semifinal game last weekend. The Raiders play stout defense and can really eat up some clock on offense - really the perfect recipe for beating Barbe.

That being said, I also watched the replay of the Barbe-West Monroe game. I made mention after the semifinal games (before I watched the ABHS-WMHS replay) that Rummel is tailor-made to beat Barbe because of their style of play. I think it was JJ87 who said that teams can attempt to pound the clock with long, time-consuming drives against Barbe, but their defense is so bad, that many inadvertent TDs are scored in the process. Eventually, they make you play shootout with them, whether you like it or not.
