Wow, I can't believe there's no discussion after that awesome game. We really have to find ways to get this board and the 5A board jumping again. Anyway, here are my thoughts.
This game was a pleasure to watch. I'm so glad I came. Two top flight QBs that could do it all, stud receivers, and big, tough lines. #27 for Oscar Smith really impressed me in the first half, but he was contained in the second half. I can't find much info out there about him and where's he's committed, if anywhere. Both teams executed their contrasted styles very well. I have wanted to see Westfield in person all of my football life, and they didn't disappoint. Their playaction game is beautiful. These were definitely the two best teams in the state, in any class. Both teams made big plays in all facets of the game, and I just knew Smith was going to come back and send it to OT. You could just feel it. What I didn't expect was them to choke in double OT! Especially after Westfield missed that PAT, I thought it was Smith's game to lose. They were flawless most of the game, then fumbled on back to back plays. Westfield's punter #5 (#FearTheMullet) was a beast and punted 60+ yarders with ease. Where is he going?
I really wanted to see Salem/Dinwiddie as well, but I couldn't pass 5A/6A up for the third time in a row, especially with two big-time rematches.
