After watching WR play last night online , I think Willard has a chance at the upset. First I had seen WR play . keep in mind, Willard isn't Calvert

Calvert was essentially a step quicker than WR at almost every position. Calvert won getting big minutes out of some backups and they handled the ball and pressure well. They played some crucial minutes without a few guys with foul trouble and still found a way to maintain a lead.
That district worries me a bit for Calvert. Carey was won 9 of 11 and seems to be playing much better at the beginning of the season. A potential third meeting with Old Fort wouldn’t be easy (although Mohawk could easily win that game as well).

Calvert beat ‘Em on the road too. On a neutral floor I’d say we have a chance to compete quite well imo. Against a top 5 ranked team that’s what you hope to do — compete and maybe get an upset .

Spaun is one of my favorite players....ever. Beeker is as hard-nose as they come. Having said that, Willard would match up with them quite well. I agree with Buckeyekid, I like our chances.

IMO, Willard has "upset" one team all year.....Columbian. They also have 2 bad losses they should have won.....PC at home and OH away. IMO Norwalk and Bellevue were also games that the Flashes should have won, but not necessarily "bad" losses. Preseason, I thought Willard would finish 16-6. Losses to Columbian, Sandusky, Huron (1), Margaretta (1). I didn't think Margaretta and Huron would beat us at home.

Willard vs Western? maybe we find out on March 3rd.. Have seen both play,, have played both. I do think it could be close, but hard for me to not pick Western.

I do think it could be close, but hard for me to not pick Western. pretty much why I was cautioning Willard fans and potential false sense of hope. Willard isn't Calvert. There's nothing wrong nor anything to be embarrassed. Senecas that good.

There's nothing wrong nor anything to be embarrassed. Senecas that good. pax and dawson are really good for willard, but i'd worry about the lack of depth. WR is going to hedge your screens . they are going to make it difficult.. Again it will or should be close.. but WR is solid.. and yet the 2nd best team in the district...

I think the Willard schedule toughened us up significantly. I see that as an advantage. Also,,all the pressure is on WR. Willard will be the underdog going in and for good reason. WR could be looking towards CC already. Much like last year when CC was probably looking past Willard to WR.

A lot of chatter about Willard and W.R. Yet Willard has to get by the winner of the Woodmore/ V.B. game. Nothing is a given at this point of the season and Willard has struggled this season... So don't count the eggs before they hatch. 😎😎

Yea and I suppose the Winner of Bucyrus and SE could knock off WR but I kinda doubt it.

Yeah I could see them ripe for being beat by a team like Van Buren. Especially if they think they are already looking at western...

Especially if they think they are already looking at western... Willard was 5-0 vs teams with below .500 records Van Buren is below .500 (8-14) Woodmore is below .500 (4-18) Willard = 5-6 vs D2 teams Willard = 5-1 vs D3 teams Willard = 3-2 vs D4 teams - both losses to (18-3) Margaretta

No kidding. Willard's worst loss is probably to 11-11 Oak Harbor. Van Buren's best wins are against (no joke) 8-14 D4 McComb and 6-16 D4 Vanlue, which plays on a stage. I can't even believe we are having this conversation.

MaxPreps ratings - Yes, they always have some stuff wrong (teams at 12-8 instead of 10-10, etc) but they give you a ballpark idea of how good teams are compared to others
8.3 - Willard
Willard's opponents - with W/L result (L/L) 15.8 - Huron (L/L) 15.7 - Margaretta (L) 15.5 - Sandusky (N/A) 15.5 - Colonel Crawford (N/A) 14.9 - Western Reserve (W) 13.7 - Tiffin Columbian (W) 13.0 - Shelby (W) 8.0 - Cardinal Stritch (W) 6.2 - Lucas (L/W) 5.5 - Port Clinton (L) 4.8 - Norwalk (L) 4.6 - Bellevue (W) 4.3 - Carey (W) 2.9 - Upper Sandusky (W/L) 0.2 - Oak Harbor (W) -3.5 - Perkins (N/A) -5.6 - Van Buren (W) -9.9 - Wynford (W) -10.0 - St Paul (W/W) -11.3 - Edison
WR is a 6.6 pt favorite vs Willard Willard is a 13.9 pt favorite vs Van Buren

But like I said anything can happen in. A tournament game. V.B. has to get past Woodmore first.

But losses to Bellevue, Norwalk and the league losses tell a better story.

Willard will win by 15-20 points unless they forget to show up.

That's what I get for responding on my phone while at work. Missed the negative... Either way I hope you are right and they do win by that amount. But there is always that upset that can happen when a team looks past someone. My whole point in the beginning of this. Plus the amount of what ifs of what high school kids will or won't do. God love this site. Per usual my point is proven. 😎😎

Bellevue's loss tonight puts them at 11-12. After a promising start, they lost their last 4 and finished 11-12. Under .500 for the 9th straight year. I'd think that streak ends next year. They bring back a really talented core.
