Round 1 Playoffs DIV , R16 #8 (7-3) Waverly @ #1 (10-0) Valley View

Waverly was a much better team last year compared to this year. I just don't see them competing in this one! But I've been wrong a million times before!! Good Luck Tigers!

Pulling a for you Tigers!!! Lock down those tackles you missed against West. This is your time the shock the world!! Waverly by 7. That's right, predicting an upset.

I agree, make those tackles Waverly or at least hold the ball carrier until help come to make the tackles! I’m sure this will be a tough game but your used to that (NY, Burg, West) but this task is not impossible! You CAN win this game.
I’m picking Waverly by 7 as well in an upset!

Well unfortunately VV is sporting a back that is probably going to the be #1 back they've faced all year as I think they boy from last year returns. They couldn't stop Genslinger last year when they had a better defense than this years squad and I don't see them slowing him down at all this year.

This will definitely be a game that the will be very difficult for the Tigers. As we all witnessed last year, Valley View is a very solid team! But I know Crabby will have the boys ready for a fight come Friday night. I expect them to come out and play very hard and with a lot of pride.
No matter what the outcome is, I hope these boys and coaching staff know how proud the Tiger faithful are of them! Back to back playoff appearances is something that hasn't happened since 06-07 I believe. Crabby has done an amazing job turning this program around and getting these boys from the bottom up to believe that they can succeed and compete with any program around. I look forward to many more successful seasons to come!

On a side note, I really wish we were in region 15 instead of 16. I think we could compete a little better in that region. At least there would be some teams from our area in the same region with us if anything else. I'm still pretty confused at how the Tigers got put into 16.

Valley View just too much for the Tigers again.

They’d be 5 or 6 in the other D4 regions.
Only school from Southeast Ohio in the Southwest region. But, it is what it is.

How often do they change the regions up?

[smurray]

Divisions based on enrollment is done every two years. They try to break it down so there is an equal amount in each division, as close as they can.

UPSET ALEART!!!! Waverly by 2.....

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

good luck to the waverly tigers.

Tiger losses to two undefeated teams who are #1 in their regions and a 9-1 team who is second in their region (a game they could have won).
VV will be a whole lot better than West so the Tigers will need to clean up and secure the tackling to have a chance. Offense will probably need to throw the ball 40-45 times - more vertical like the past couple weeks.

Good luck Tigers.

This lineup of the Tigers has the same feel as the 89 Tigers. Great QB and Great WR's with a pretty good RB. Hopefully a good recipe for disaster again.

[Bring the Heat]

I would agree with Tigers#27 on the feel. I believe they had this same capability last year and didn't cross midfield.
This is a new year and new feel so go Tigers..

With it being lose and done everyone who can physically play will. And I’m sure if playing both sides of the ball increases the chances of winning that will happen too. No holding anything back at this point.

My official corso pick

Good Luck to Waverly!
