St. Rita @ Hersey

[RogerRabbit87]

Anyone have any insight on St. Rita? Liked Hersey the couples times I’ve seen them. QB and RB are good players. Hoping to make this one on Saturday. Should be a good game

They’re a run heavy team wit good line size on both sides of the ball. Expect their primary back to get about thirty carries. D line very good at getting after the passer. Not a lot of time to drop back and throw

Hersey seems to have an excellent team. On the other hand, the only team to defeat St. Rita in the playoffs the last three years has been Mt. Carmel. Mt. Carmel won the 7A championship each of those three years. St. Rita has played a Mid-Suburban East team three times in the playoffs over the last four years. St. Rita won those three games by 35 points, 22 points and 17 points. The last time St. Rita played a Mid-Suburban East team this deep in the playoffs (or deeper), they beat Prospect 42-20 in the 2021 7A semifinals.

Three of St. Rita's four losses this year came against undefeated Mt. Carmel, one-loss Brother Rice, and one-loss Nazareth. The one loss that both Brother Rice and Nazareth experienced came against Mt. Carmel. However, it should be mentioned that none of St. Rita's three losses to those teams was a close game. The fourth loss was by seven points to St. Francis, which just beat previously unbeaten Prairie Ridge last week.

It should be an interesting game. Hersey might win, but I wouldn't bet money on that outcome.

Hersey has a great O'line and a solid RB. Will it be enough? Not sure, but this will be a great game.

If Rita sticks to their game plan, they will come out the victors of this game. Excellent run game and good experienced playmakers at the skill positions. Defense is solid. Limit the offensive drives by Hersey and play smash mouth football.
