I wasn't trying to say Ep looked bad the first week, what I meant was that it was the first week and this is week 4. Those games are over and done with.I'm sure both teams have come a long way since then. It was both teams first test for the season with or without injuries. Friday night will be the best of both teams coming onto the field to battle with no excuses. They both want this one bad. All I can say is that it won't be a blowout either way. I'd say the score will be within 6 points.I chose the Clippers because I know them. I know their skills, their speed, their heart and their ability to win big games in situations like this. It will all come down to one or two plays that changes the game but I'm betting on the Clips to make those plays. Good luck to both teams on Friday.

Let me ask a civil question. IF Ep wins this game or Columbiana does, do any posters think the winner will run the table?

Thats a very good possibility but don't count out Crestview. I have another possibility.If we beat you, and Crestview beats us,and you beat Crestview.....or some other scenerio like that, is a three way tie possible I know they'll be in there somewhere too.

Ya, but it isn't going to happen. Maybe two co champs but not three. could be the Dogs and Clips sharing the crown.

I don''t know, it would be nice to have someone different in there for a change. It looks like SR is having a bad year. I they'll be back soon though. Crestview always seems to have our number. We got them last year in double OT but that was anybodys game till the final second. Mineral Ridge always worries me too, you never know what your going to get with them. Springfield came back from a HUGE halftime deficit to beat us lasrt year against all odds. I think EP and Columbiana have the edge this year for sure, but anyone on anyweekend can be dangerous. Right now all I want is to walk away with a win this Friday, same as you and the rest of us.

I would like to see the Clips come out with a win this week, but regardless, I would like to see both teams go on to represent the ITCL D5 & D6 in the playoffs.

South Range and Crestview are a combined 16-1 vs EP and Columbiana in the last 5 years. I know you've already engraved "East Palestine" on this year's DV State Championship trophy, but let's not go declaring this game the title game just yet.

I think bulldog is just worried about the ITCL crown right now.Making the playoffs is just the first steptowards a state title. I've went to see the Clips in all of their playoff games for the last 6 years and I'm sure anyone from SR,Leetonia,Crestview or any other schools will agree that there are teams out there you wouldn't believe until you've played them. We play each other year after year around here and have a good idea of how to beat each other. When you play a team like Hopewell Louden was last year , or Ursline you realize real fast that making the playoffs is an honor in itself being in the same catagory as teams like that. Beating some is even better, but the first step is making it and that doesn't gurantee anything but one more week. Certainly not a state trophy.

I love how you guys try to turn his posts around.

We know what he meant.I said said thats what he talking about right now, not a state title or anything. He could be right, It may be a shared trophy between those two schools, I would take a co-champoinship anyday. We've been so close for so many years now and came up short. I'm telling you though, don't ever count out Crestview, they know how to win and are there in the end year after year ,usually knocking us out of it. It will be a close, bitter season from here on out, all in good sport I hope.I'm just taking it week by week.

They could go by ITCL wins, and if theres a tie go by whole season wins, and if theres still a tie go by points allowed, or total yards, or ( my favorite) have a tie breaker game.That would never happen beacause of playoffs .
