Blackhills Conference Thread

Canevin is going to kill Monesson I believe. Similar to Mike Whites prediction in the PG I saw. I don't see them playing a clean enough game to beat someone like BC. 21-7.

Tough draw for the CH-Brentwood loser. I wonder about the mental state of the CH kids. Brentwood allowed FC to throw for another 200 on them last week. They were not all in the 4th quarter either. Not sure how much CH can take advantage of that. Agree with your prediction generally. Will come down to a FG, fumble, or XP or something. Whoever wins this game will be dangerous for whoever they get in the playoffs.

Brentwood = major disappointment. Giving up 200 yards to a bad passing team in Fort Cherry is terrible. Brentwood had all the hype in the world heading into this season. And now they may be finding themselves on the outside looking in. In fact, if Imani was qualified for the playoffs this season, both CH and Brentwood would be on the outside looking in(if everything here on out goes chalk).

Yea, who ever hosts CH or Brentwood will be in a dog fight. I say the Brentwood/CH Winner will face #1 Team out of the TCS and win that game in a route.

Speaking of TCS schools, picture Avella hosting a game. Could easily see them Hosting Sto Rox or Monessen. Yikes.

You're right. The closer and closer we get to game time, the more I feel that Canevin will win more. Could easily see it 28-7 in Canevin's favor.

I guess we were wrong on Monesson once again. BC made some uncharacteristic mistakes but Monesson took advantage. Credit to them. I thought BC's defense was tougher even including the short fields they allowed.

What a shame for CH last night. Were probably a play away from downing it before they gave the ball away. A good team that just does not know how to win this year.

Just thinking of how crazy this league is. Monesson could easily lose to Imani and CH, while Canevin loses to Clairton and Brentwood while Brentwood wins out except for Clairton.Would be a three way tie at 6-3. I guess Monesson would get 2,BW 3, and BC 4 in that scenerio.

Man, you don't know the half. This is typical Fetsko football. He has the Bucs good enough to compete but finds a way to blow the game when it comes to crunch time. You'd think after all of these close games the past 2-3 years, he'd figure out a way to close games. As a taxpayer here, I think its time for a new coach.

[IMABIMAB]

I can think of a game they lost in OT last year as well. They don't really do anything in the playoffs either. Not that they should be making it to Heinz all the time but they should win a game or two considering how often they have been it it.

They held Vickless to 40 yards. No one has come close to doing that this season.

Not the most exciting week in Blackhills action. Its mostly the top half vs the bottom half, with an exception of Clairton heading up 51 to take on Brentwood.

Clairton @ Brentwood
Brentwood has been a surprise. They was supposed to be Clairton's stiffest competition. They still have the tools and potential to do so. But I think the Bears will be too much.

Clairton 55
Brentwood 0


Bishop Canevin @ Fort Cherry
FC is riding a 3 game losing streak after starting the season 2-0. I think BC should roll fairly easily in this one.

BC 35
FC 0

Carlynton @ Char Houston
Both teams are 1-4 but CH has played the competition far stronger than Carlynto has. I think the Bucs will take their frustrations out on Carlynton after coming so close these previous weeks.

Char Houston 45
Carlynton 10

Monessen @ Serra Catholic
Monessen gets a breather this week and will win in blowout fashion

Monessen 56
Serra 0

California @ Imani Christian
Blowout week continues. Don't see California presenting much of a threat to Imani.

Imani 35
California 0

The game went essentially how I thought. Brentwood is tough but Clairton is very good. Very pleased they scored a TD on Clairtons number ones. More optimistic about Brentwood than I was before tonight.

Clairton is a machine. Southern Columbia vs Clairton this year in the finals IMO. That will be quite a game as SC is a very good team this year as well.
