Week 8: St. Vincent - St. Mary

”Finish Strong!!!”

The 2009 regular season is down to the final 3 games already!

This season has absolutely flown by. Now comes the part of the schedule where every game, every quarter, every play matters…the stretch run! Three perennial powerhouses lie in the way….Akron St Vincent St Mary, Ursuline and Columbus Bishop Watterson. This is the time of year when, as the saying goes….big time players, make big time plays in big time games! Two separate groups of Irishmen, followed by a flock of Eagles are who stand between us and the 2009 OHSAA play-offs.

We’re currently ranked 1st in the DIII – Region 9 computer play-off standings. We are also currently ranked #1 in the State of Ohio in the AP Division III rankings. To remain in the top four, the Cards will have to finish the season strong. The first step is this week against ASVSM. The last two trips there have been some of our toughest battles in years. The Irish will no doubt have revenge on their minds and that part of the game, the mental part is huge. The Cards need to be prepared for this stretch run, as all three teams we face will also be facing the play-off standings in their respective regions. It’s crunch time gentlemen….let’s see who wants it more….let’s see what you got!

This week is Mission #8. The ASVSM Irish! Take care of business, men!


Best of luck to Coach Fecko, the coaching staff and the 2009 Cardinal Mooney Cardinals!

Always,
The Rock
