Should be a great week of football in this sectional. Stinktown @ Batesville- This is going to be a great game. The Tigers have a bad taste in their mouths after suffering a 3-point defeat to the Bulldogs in the regular season. The Dogs have also had a really good season Ol Graydog has come in and got his system flourishing. But Stink Town is not the same team it was when these teams met back in week 7. Indian Creek @ FC- wow the Jojos are still playing football. I am not sure how many people would have thought that possible with the way they lost to the Knights in the regular season. To flip the score is incredible, hats off to their staff and players. I don't really know enough about the Creek to make a prediction on this game, but surmise it will be a close hard hard-fought contest. Word on the street is STC went straight to Batesville after the win Friday to start the party early. I wonder if we can arrange for him and Triple C to have a drink off, although that could be dangerous for the town of Batesville.

Sectional Week is finally here! Dawgs at Rushville- Dogs by 28 FC at SD- South Dearborn takes out some frustration from last week's loss to Stinktown. Knights by 3 or more scores. Hondaturd at Indian Creek- Mercifully the season finally comes to an end for little Ralphie and the Pirates. Stinktown at Centerville- This should be a fun and exciting matchup. Centerville comes into round one with a perfect 9-0 record. There could be some intrigue here early as each team feels one another out. At the end of the day, the kitties have been purring, and they walk away with a victory.

Lawrenceburg @ Connersville- The kitties are purring again. Tigers by 20 plus. Appetizer for next week when they take on coach Boom and the boys. Only good thing about taking a trip to Connersville is Ol' STC and crew can stop at the Fantasy Inn for a game of Edward 40 hands before kickoff. Franklin County @ Batesville- Nothing to see here. After a promising start, Franklin County has went downhill in a hurry. This is a week for the Graydog to work on some things headed into the post season. Hondaturd @ EC- This one will be as ugly as EC wants it to be. It will be interesting to see how much PT Ringer gets. If he gets double-digit carries look for him to score on at least six of them. I know EC is not in the business of running it up but feeding the bell-cow a heavy workload could help his Mr. Football chances. Will be another miserable night for Greensburg in what has to be the worst season in recent memory for them. SD @ Rushville- Coach Boom and crew are excited to head to Rushville for some steak sammies. This game could be closer than some people think, but SD gets the job done and secures another winning season.

Check out the field that will be competing in a Holiday tournament @ Lawrenceburg High School December 29th and 30th. It is a loaded field. Will be a great two days of basketball.

Forgive me I ate too many wings last night and mistakenly called the home of the Tigers, the Tigers Den. That is the wrong sport. Obviously as everyone in the EIAC knows it is the Pit!

EC -SD- EC by as many as they want. Plain and simple. Stinktown and the Dogs- Stinktown takes down the pups. Not grown up enough yet to win in the Tigers den FC and Greensburg- get right game for FC just like it is everyone else's schedule. Greensburg may not score another point all year Rushville and ND- give me the bolts in a close matchup Connersville v Speedway- ol Sparty wins to even up their record
