Monroe Jefferson (3-4) is coming off a 30-15 loss to New Boston Huron while SMCC (4-3) defeated Milan 30-20. SMCC won last season’s matchup 49-7 and leads the all-time series 34-15.
Jefferson was said to resemble a “mash unit” with the amount of substitutes that played, mainly due to injury. It didn’t help that Huron brought their “A” game and took advantage of a Jefferson squad with no Brandon Sovey amongst others.
SMCC handled business last week with their 3rd victory in a row over a talented Big Red tribe. The Falcon’s backs were against the wall and they played like it, with plenty of emotion and heart. Can they harness that spirited play which will be needed the rest of way?
The competitiveness of this game would seem to be determined by whether or not Jefferson’s QB Brandon Sovey will suit up. We got word on the blog that he is playing vs SMCC. If that is the case, it will be all hands on deck for the Boys from Beach. Nick Humphrey(SR), Devon Rozmiarek(JR) and Nolan Willard(SR) will be counted on in all facets of play to keep this game close. SMCC as always will rely on the ground and pound of Kevin LaPrad(SR), Colin Woolford(JR) and Nick Marino(SO). Justin LaPlante(SR) seems to be recovering from his injury, with an outstanding defensive performance last week. Center, David Brinkmaier, gave the Falcons a big boost with his return to the playing field.
Rivalry-Rivalry-Rivalry!!
When these two teams meet, one thing is for sure… you can throw the records out the window.
As a matter of fact these two bitter enemies are 9-9 over the last 18 meetings. Cant get any more even than that. Yes, CC has dominated the last 2 meetings but this Bear team actually has a pulse. Playoff life is on the line for both teams. This one should be a doozy. 2011 all over again.
PICK: Jefferson 28 SMCC 26

I personally have a lot of respect for Jefferson. Great rivalry
According to some of the posts " BEACH RAT'S " Or "Newport Hood Rat's " is what they want to eat.
We shall see tonight. Bears were getting carted off all game last year. Guess we get to see what this "hype" is all about in Newport. See if the bears are back. LOL
I have seen a Falcon attempt to eat a Bear. The bear was highly annoyed and smashed it against a tree. Just saying.
What does a Falcon eat? Money? LOL.
I would love to actually see a Fakcon eat a Bear.
Drifter
Falcons coming into stride. As a unit. Finally. This young team led by a group of junior/senior leaders. Good time of year to get the gears turning as one. We are CC!!! Tomorrow we eat
We're too slow too small too weak no depth we recruit we pay off the refs our pants are blessed by the Pope we get special treatment bc we have priests on our sidelines the lights at Navarre are too dim the grass is too high...blah blah blah. Been following the blog for years...come up with something new. Let the boys play and leave it all on the field. WE ARE CC!!
Its just jokes and statements bc it is a Catholic private school in a league with public schools. Don't act like everyone is making excuses haha
Agree w Gary, no one is pointing a finger at the student. The question is how will Jefferson administration rule. Consistent with other kids or special rules for football stars?
I reread every post. I didn't see anyone pointing the finger.
Thank you 8:06.. We appreciate the kind words.
