Fenwick advances to face Downers Grove North and future Minnesota Gophers QB Owen Lansu.  12-7 final.

Some awful ball management by BR’s QB CJ Gray basically gave the game to Fenwick.  Crazy scrambling at the end of the first half to give up the ball and an easy Fenwick TD and some more scrambling out of his own end zone for a safety in the fourth quarter, rather than taking a sack and throwing the ball away.  9 points gifted to Fenwick.

OL injuries ended up killing BR.  While Fenwick does have a good D, BR couldn’t move the ball on the ground at all.

You were right all along about the line. I watched the replay and Rice ran out of gas on the season. They looked lost as you said about QB ball management. Coaches deserve blame too as they didn't even try an onside kick after the safety if that indeed is allowed which I think it is. So Fenwick just ran out the clock. Something about Fenwick's defense had the BR team intimidated. Rice pretty much had no chance on offense. I wish it was a Friday night lights game. Not sure why they had to play on a Saturday. Rice looked dead in the afternoon sun. I assume DGN will pound Fenwick at home unless they also get the Saturday blues.
