D4 Region 14 Quarterfinal
And just to clear up any confusion that sometimes happens with this school and a few others in similarly named towns: Memorial High School is a public high school in the city of St. Marys, Ohio.

I wonder if St.Mary’s still runs that old school wing-T offense?

I wonder if St.Mary’s still runs that old school wing-T offense? Very much so. They've been running a few more shifts and unbalanced than in years past but it's still dive, trap, sweep for the most part. They have always been a team with tremendous downfield blocking so I suspect that it will take Perkins a series or two to adjust to all the chaos. It's hard for me to envision St. Marys winning but they will hustle and play with great energy regardless of the score. I always find their old school approach fun to watch. It's also likely that if Perkins wins that the St. Marys players will follow Perkins the rest of the way in the playoffs. A few years ago Trotwood Madison beat them during the playoffs and the Roughrider team sat in the Ram side of the stadium and even made signs backing them.

I’m not much of a believer in the Devine but St.Mary’s is going to need some prayer for this one.

St. Mary’s is a tough, hard nosed team. Solid OL, and their backs don’t go down easily. Better version of Edison, IMO. Pirates will need to strap up and be ready to tackle for 4 quarters. Perkins will also need to maximize their possessions because chances are they’ll have fewer than any other game up to this point

If they can possess the ball and get a few breaks they might make it a four quarter game.

If they can possess the ball and get a few breaks they might make it a four quarter game. From what I’ve seen, would say they play safer. 10-12 yards off the WRs across the board, plus 2 safeties 20 yards off ball. Their defense is to limit possessions. Bigger in the secondary than Edison for sure, but I’ve still seen lesser WRs run by them this season.

What would Bucyrus look like today had Doug Frye stayed there? He established a solid program at St. Mary's Memorial.

Have you ever heard of Skip Baughman? Speaking of which, St. Mary Memorial lost to Bellevue, 1st Round Playoffs, in 2000 and 2001. I believe the reason was Coach Nasonti and Staff could still smell the Bucyrus Redmrn on Coach Frye, Ha!

As to this game, I would say shed, but Memorial is WBL, and usually a tough out. And CSK makes solid points regarding the Roughriders. I will say they' re rolling after 0-4 start.

I believe the reason was Coach Nasonti and Staff could still smell the Bucyrus Redmrn on Coach Frye, Ha! Following Skip Baughman was going to be nearly impossible so his long-time defensive coordinator, Bob Priddy, agreed to fall on the sword and take the job after Coach Baughman's retirement in 1993. The football staff and adminstration knew that the community would likely mutiny if they hired anyone who didn't do exactly what Skip did. Bob did a good job but eventually resigned leading to Frye. Later it was found that Coach Priddy had cancer which claimed him not long thereafter. Frye ran a different type of Wing-T than Baughman but few beyond the most knowledgeable Rider fan could tell the difference. Frye was successful but it appears that the pressure to match Baughman was taking a toll on him. Next he moves on to Wapak. He knew that Wapak was sleeping giant and did good things there as well, but his intensity and language got him in hot water. Next up, stint two at St. Marys. If Bucyrus is okay with his type of discipline and intensity perhaps they could have won more but we'll never know. In this day and age he's not for everybody.

I believe Kidwell/Grine met their match and then some when Fostoria and Memorial met in early 90s. They had a difficult time stopping the Wing-T. About the only time I felt Fostoria was outcoached and outphysicaled, if that's a word.
I think lost in all this is isn't Frye's son running the ship?

I've heard nothing about Bo being as "feisty" as his dad. He's the one who has added a few wrinkles but it's still his dad's offense. Bo was a hell of a player for St Marys. Another former St Marys assistant is Mike May at Oak Harbor who btw graduated from Vanlue.

This could be their first true challenge of the season, but the Pirates win.

Pirates will win, but the rough riders will not go down without a fight.

BCSN will probably air the game, but I found out that the game will also be aired on the Rider Nation Station's Youtube page for free if you can't make it to the game

Is this going to be broadcast live TONIGHT, or on tape delay? I'm asking for a close friend who was just released from the hospital, and cannot attend in person.
