It's finally Friday. I'll catch the Semi-State game between Columbus North and Warren Central. Cathedral at Columbus East across town will probably be a more competitive game, but North's our school.
If I remember correctly, Warren Central's closest game this season was a 41-21 win. The rest of their schedule were blowouts. North's got high hopes, but the best I can hope for them is that they lose by 20 points or less.
There's no way to really game plan for Warren Central, because they're just bigger, stronger, and faster than any other high school team. I'm guessing that Coach Bless and his staff will load up the defense on the line of scrimmage in an attempt to stop WC's running game. The hope would be to at least slow down the running game and maybe force some passing, which might give them a chance at a turnover or two. On the Offensive side, North has to score every time they get the ball. If they can keep WC's offense off the field, or at least keep up with them by matching touchdowns, maybe they could steal a win with one more score.
Having both Columbus teams in the Dome next weekend for the state championship games in 5A and 4A is a great dream, but unfortunately is highly unlikely. East might make it, but even they will have a tough obstacle in Cathedral.
Anyway, Saturday we'll be at the Lego Robotics competition. Hopefully the kids are ready to make a good showing. Then off to Canada and back just in time for Thanksgiving.

if north is going to win, they will have to win by skill - and that means throwing the ball, forcing warren to throw the ball, and using every technical trick they can to keep the ball going their direction.
