Who do you guys see stopping Desmet this year?

McCluer North was not a dominant Suburban North team, and lost to a team with a better record, so this is not a win to brag on.

Let Lafayette beat Haz. Central, and then assess.

I equate the Sub North to a high level D1 team. Just because you have the best players does not mean you win all the time things happen. Before the game I know people thought McCluer North was going to blow by Lafayette. Now I am reading excuses about the Northstars not being that good. I am not upset about people doubting Lafayette, based on rep the Northstars should have won. However you don't play the game on rep. Northstars beat Central for the 2nd year in a row. Lafayette in my opinion stat wise had more firepower last year and would have won last year if Kyle Green would have played both ways. Lafayette last year had QB Tyler Rigman 2000yds passing,All State both ways WR/DB Ian Moore 51 catches 841 yds 2nd in the state 400 in front of your Sub North boys,Jordan Levy 54 catches 839 and Alex Caito who is hurt this year All State 87 solos 106 total tackles. Along with the 23 points that North was spotted last year they should consider themselves lucky they won last year. North has more speed and speed kills but not yesterday. Now as far as Central and Lafayette I would rather have seen this matchup last year. The Hawks are a year older and maturer. The Lancers are hobbled. Caito and Green are hurting but thats why you play the game. Like I said the team with the most talent should win most of the time. But not all the time see Navy/Notre Dame yesterday. This may step on some toes but I remember before 1985 and I bring that year up because Vanzant brought the title to Hazelwood Central. As a junior high student from 79-81 I remember Central being good,East having more speed than central but could get past them in the post season. Central would go to old Busch Stadium and get beat beat by a Rockhurst,Jeff City,Joplin Parkwood or Springfield team. Webster Groves wth Tracy Mack tied those Jays one Year at state. There is a Suburban North bias and I understand that having started in what was then 2 of the best conferences in St.Louis the Sub North and the ABC conference. Lets just give the Lancers props for winning.
