Don't look now, but Rockford is working on a serious upset. Up 20-0 on CUW, 5 minutes left in the first half. Wild game so far.

BU keeping it close against AU, a couple first half ints on Zimbleman have the game at 14-7 AU.

WLC is struggling against Lakeland's speed on defense and Lakeland's offense is turning out to be a matchup nightmare.

If all score differentials at halftime hold, Rockford has the edge in point differential for 2 seed in North. This is amazing.

Again, CUW's been able to move the ball against Rockford some in the 2nd half, but in the game, the Falcons have given up an interception, a fumble, and had a third drive stopped inside the Regent 5 yard line. Ray's been having one of his better games connecting on long passes.

Eureka at last check was breaking the game with CUC open with 2 quick touchdowns early in the 3rd Quarter to take a 19-3 lead.

If WLC gets in, I'll have mixed emotions about it. The Warriors would get Lakeland (again), but next time, it'd be on the road. Lakeland's not the type of team that will play 60 minutes of "flat" football.

AU-BU turning out to be another back-and-forth game. Spartans just took the lead again early in the 4th.

Rockford 20, CUW 7 Just over 4 minutes left in the game.

Gonna come down to the wire.

Final: Rockford 20, CUW 14.

Rhythm21 · April 03, 2021, 04:54:28 PM

Rockford upsets CUW (The likely 2 seed in North), and AU turns the ball over 5-6 times to BU. Davis on BU has 3 ints and a fumble recovery, likely NACC Defensive Player of the Week. AU still has a chance though, down 9 with 5 mins left in 4th. Need our offense to figure it out.

Rhythm21 · April 03, 2021, 04:57:49 PM

Quick score for AU's Offense, Zimbleman and the QB dive up the middle. Kerr connects on the extra point, 30-28 BU 4:21 left in 4th.

Rhythm21 · April 03, 2021, 04:59:49 PM

A gem of an onside pop-up kick by Kerr! Spartans football in Benedictine territory, down 2!

Rhythm21 · April 03, 2021, 05:05:26 PM

Touchdown Spartans!!!

Zimbleman takes it out to the right and runs over an Eagle to break the plane. Spartans up 4, going for 2. Bailey gets it, Spartans by 6.
Zimbleman's 4th Rush TD of game. He's a legend.

WLCALUM83 · April 03, 2021, 05:16:52 PM

Nice comeback by the Spartans, from 9 pts down late to get the win--

Rhythm21 · April 03, 2021, 05:17:57 PM

Jeffrey Williams Jr. wins the jump ball in the endzone and gets his 2nd Int of the Spring season. Spartans get the 1 seed in the South at 3-0. Spartan resilience wins out. This is a championship team, and championship teams refuse to lose! To the playoffs go the Spartans!

Sidenote: Don Beebe has yet to lose a NACC contest.
