re: LHSAA Quarterfinals… the first ever Karr-Evangel matchup

I'm cheering for Central for obvious reasons.

I saw you in the youtube comments carrying on. I respect the spite at this point.

I heard there was some fights on the Man’s sideline

Yes more than one fight on their sideline, players pushing officials etc.

So was the bogus PI call on Central the final drive under min left

But Central had their chances and couldn't capitalize ; credit Zachary playing a strong 3rd qtr

If the kicking games wasn’t important they wouldn’t have named it football!

Made the long trip to Iowa yesterday

Iowa ran the opening kick off back for a touchdown and Lutcher denied them the 2 point conversion. Thy squib kicked (the only way they kicked all game) to Lutcher, who also ran that for a touchdown. Lutcher lead 7-6 with less than 30 seconds of game play removed from the clock.

After that a pretty good football game ensued. Iowa would not allow Lutcher to run between the tackles so Lutcher compensated by running outside and with screens. Iowa backs were hard as hell to tackle. They rarely went down on first or even second contact.

Lutcher fought hard and took a 21-20 lead into halftime, after giving the ball up on downs in the red zone with 30 seconds left.

Lutcher would not score again. Iowa scored a TD and converted for two early in the 3rd quarter and a defensive stalemate would show the game out. Lutcher pushed into the red zone on their last possession with under a minute to go, but Iowa sealed victory with a pick in the end zone.

Because they made most of their two point conversions. Their leading rusher averaged 21 yards per carry. That’s not a typo. They had a great sleeper OL Myles Joseph lined up and ran it behind him all year.
