Seriously. Northwestern is incredible, and has proven it. We wouldn't even be discussing this if the ref's call on their goalie in PK's (off the line
) hadn't cost them the SV match.
Lexington: Great press. Good team.
Northwestern is better, and the Enzo factor. You know he's coming. Do something about it, Lex. Easier said than done.
Home field advantage: Hardest place in the state to play. Long trip from Columbia (look through the playoffs and see the advantage of Columbia teams that have teams come to them, and see the huge disadvantage when Columbia teams have to travel, especially long distances). This factor is a BIG indicator in high school playoffs and has been for many years in all sports.
Only one opinion, but I think NW might go into another gear as they smell the State Championship.
Trojans by a bunch.
