Any thoughts on the matchup?
As was revealed in round one, sometimes the underdog who has played a tougher schedule prevails. To date, Romeo has played six games against "Top 15" enrollment schools, three of whom are still alive in the playoffs (Warren-Mott is still alive, tho not a top 15).
Meantime, Clarkston, much like Grand Blanc, has a weaker resume.
Much as we complained here in "orchard country" when Romeo got moved up to the MAC Red, it has resulted in better performances in the playoffs, against better teams, when it counts. To quote the GB coach from last week speaking post-game about Romeo: "They're a good team. They play in a good conference. They're used to playing good teams." Click here for complete audio interview
Once the kids have faced Stevenson, Dakota, Eisenhower and the like, nothing fazes them
