Games I attended this past week:
FRIDAY NIGHT-Aurora at Perry. This game demonstrated the difference between a D2 playoff-bound team and a rebuilding D4 team. Much was made about the physicality and size of Aurora's team. The result was really no surprise. The surprising part was that Perry was able to hang in there for a half. That's a credtit to the Pirate coaching staff and talent of some of the players. Aurora will continue on as one of the favorites to make it out of Region 5 in the playoffs, while Perry will look to regain its past levels of success next year.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON-North at University. North did not play well, turning the ball over 5 times, but University may just be a better team anyway. The fact that the Preppers were able to win that big without one of their best players even getting onto the field says a lot about how good they are. For the Rangers, this makes the last two games even more urgent. They'll be expected to beat Geneva, then the following week at South will be bigger than it's been in years. Like last year, when I attended the VASJ-US game, the wind was absolutely brutal. I just can't seem to avoid it there.
