Mississinewa wins against Kokomo. This Mississinewa team has a lot of talent and will host Leo next week. Was hoping for a Madison-Grant win as well but it didn't happen. MG you had a great season.

The winner of this game will play the winner of the Mississinewa/Kokomo game. Neither of these teams are a pushover by any means. So the winner between Leo/Dwenger will have a very tough game next week. I've noticed that Dwenger has struggled this year base on their record and was wondering why and then I saw where someone commented that they were out of RB's. I'm sure that Leo would like to have a rematch with Kokomo since they lost the game earlier this year. Good luck to all teams this week as they fight to be one of the 8 teams to play next week.

Mississinewa and Madison-Grant are left out of the CIC. Good luck to both teams. Mississinewa vs Kokomo--This game is a rematch of last year but is at Mississinewa this year. This will be a big test for both teams. Like Columbia City, Kokomo spent a lot of the season ranked inside the top 5. Mississinewa was ranked 5th in the final polls. Both of these teams are very, very good. Kokomo has played the tougher schedule with 5A and 6A teams included in their schedule. Mississinewa on the other hand has only played 3 4A teams all season. At the end of the game, Mississinewa pulls away and wins another sectional championship title. Madison-Grant vs Adams Central--AC is a very, very good team and have been to back to back state finals. MG has played very well this year and may have the tougher schedule. This game is going to be closer than what many think it will be. With the game being at MG, this will play a factor. MG is thirsty for a sectional title and this team has the capability of getting it done. AC wants to make it a 3 peat to the state finals and are looking forward to achieving this goal. If AC overlooks MG, it will be a very long night. In the end, MG pulls out a narrow win. I think the winner of both of these games have a good chance at playing Thanksgiving weekend.

There are 3 CIC Teams left. If all 3 win they will play at home for the Championship. So here it goes Eastbrook at Bluffton--Bluffton started the season off looking really good and spent the season in the top 10 in both polls. Eastbrook is a good team but has struggled this year. In the end, Bluffton pulls out the win by a TD. Madison-Grant at North Miami--Madison-Grant runs away with this one and plays with a running clock at some point in the second half. Mississinewa at Columbia City--This game is going to be a shoot out. Columbia City started off the season hot then lost the final 4 games of the regular season. Mississinewa is 10-0 and going for history to as they try to become 11-0. Mississinewa passing game is very, very good with very few teams having an answer on how to defend it. With Mississinewa's passing game and running back by committee attack, it will be very difficult for Columbia City to keep up. In the end Mississinewa moves on by winning by 2 TDs.

Let's get behind Deakon Dilts of Mississinewa and vote as much as you can before Noon on Thursday to help him be the Indy Star player of the week. Let's go CIC fans. Indiana high school football sectional first round top performers (indystar.com)

Alexandria vs Bluffton--This is going to be a close game. Both teams have had great seasons. In the end Alexandria pulls it out. Eastern vs Elwood--Elwood will have another running clock at some point in the second half as Eastern cruises to a win Madison Grant vs Northfield--MG's schedule helps them a lot as they cruise to a victory. Frankton vs Eastbrook--This is going to be another close game. Regular season Eastbrook pulled out a win by a TD. This time around Frankton gets a little revenge and pulls out the win by a field goal. Hamilton Heights vs Oak Hill--If Oak Hill has everybody back, this could be a good game. But in the end Hamilton Heights is just too much for Oak Hill and pulls away late in the game for the win. Tipton vs Blackford--Tipton is down this year with only 1 win, that was over Elwood. Tipton gets the win and advances to the next round while Blackford starts talking about if they are going to get a new coach. Mississinewa vs Western--Western is usually a pretty good team, but they are down a little this year. Mississinewa is big up front with a QB that can sling the ball. The RB by committee is working really well for Ole Miss. In the end Mississinewa wins and advances to play Columbia City.

Oak Hill vs Elwood--Oak Hill may have injury issues and missing players, but Elwood still isn't a match for them. Oak Hill by a bunch with running clock in the 4th. Mississinewa vs Eastbrook--This will be a good game. Eastbrook is down this year while Mississinewa has high expectations. In the end, Mississinewa pulls out the victory by at least 2 tds Frankton vs Blackford--Frankton by as much as they want. While Blackford begin searching for a new coach at the end of the season? Madison-Grant vs Alexandria--This will be another very good game. It could get interesting as Alexandria may be listening to the Mississinewa/Eastbrook scores a little more than taking care of MG as they want a share of the CIC title. In the end I think MG pulls out the win in the 4th quarter on their final drive.

I was wondering the same thing. They sure have been quiet this year. On that note, Mississinewa should consider changing conferences to move to one that has mostly 4A or larger schools.

Oak Hill vs Blackford--Oak Hill may have players injured but Blackford is still no match for Oak Hill. Oak Hill runs away with this one and gets back in the win column. Madison-Grant vs Eastbrook--This may be the best game of the week. Eastbrook is down this year and MG is pretty good. In the end MG wins this one by a TD and spoils homecoming for Eastbrook. Elwood vs Mississinewa--Mississinewa plays JV most of the second half with a running clock. Mississinewa wins Homecoming again. Alexandria vs Frankton--Frankton started off hot and then fizzled out. Alexandria rebounded last week and won. Alexandria by 2 TDs. By the way it is nice to see MG, Eastbrook, Alexandira, and Mississinewa all ranked in the AP and/or Coach's polls in their respective classes.

Mississinewa vs Blackford--Mississinewa scores as much and as often as they want. Frankton vs Madison-Grant--Frankton is improved but MG takes the win in this one. Oak Hill vs Alexandria--Going with the Tigers this week as the Eagles have hit a losing streak. Eastbrook vs Elwood--Eastbrook is down this year but they won't struggle at all with Elwood.

Kokomo has a very tough sectional with Mississinewa and Columbia City both being in Sectional 20. Jay County who is coached by Grant Zgunda and Western are also in this sectional. Marion has Craig Chambers back as their coach and gave Kokomo all they could handle while Mississinewa man handled Marion. This sectional may very well produce a state finalist.

Mississinewa vs. Alexandria--This game will be closer than it should. Mississinewa by 2 TDs Eastbrook vs Blackford--Eastbrook rights the ship and hands Blackford another loss. Madison-Grant vs Elwood--MG scores as many as they want and wins big Oak Hill vs Frankton--Oak Hill won't lose 3 in a row.

Blackford vs Elwood--Which team is going to get their first and possibly only win of the season? Blackford wins this one Mississinewa vs Frankton--Mississinewa wins but this will be a little closer than past years as Frankton has improved this year. Madison-Grant vs Oak Hill--This game will be close the first half and Oak Hill pulls away in the second half for the win. Alexandria vs Eastbrook--This is going to be a thriller and the closest game of the day. In the end Eastbrook makes a defensive stand for the win.

Blackford at Madison-Grant--MG wins their homecoming game this year. Eastbrook at Frankton--Frankton has improved and pulls out thriller over Eastbrook Elwood at Alexandria--Alexandria scores at will. Running clock for the second half on this one. Mississinewa at Oak Hill--This game decides who is the CIC champion this year. Going to be tough close game. Mississinewa pulls it out in the 4th quarter.

Alexandria over Blackford Frankton over Elwood Oak Hill over Eastbrook--Going to be a close game and a test for both teams. Should be a good one. Mississinewa over Madison Grant--Going to be another good game.

Eastbrook Mississinewa Oak Hill Alexandria Tipton Fremont Madison Grant Lapel

Alex and MG--MG has improved a lot while Alex started out strong. In the end MG pulls this out. Blackford and Frankton--Frankton wins as Blackford struggles continue. Oak Hill and Elwood--Oak Hill plays the JV the second with a running clock as they win by whatever they want. Mississinewa and Eastbrook--This is the game of the week. This could be close or a blowout, depending which versions of each team shows up. In the end Mississinewa pulls out the win to close out the season at home on Senior night.

MG at Frankton---Frankton has improved but not enough as MG rolls to another W. Elwood @ Eastbrook---Eastbrook enjoys a homecoming victory. Alexandria at Oak Hill---Oak Hill wins this one as they secure a share of the CIC. Blackford at Mississinewa---Mississinewa wins another homecoming game.

Agree. The QB just doesn't have the velocity on the throws and the ball just floats thru the air. The RB/WR talent is there, just can't showcase the talent passing the ball deep. They have success with the 5-10 yard passing plays but anything over that not much luck on success. This team is still young. A couple of freshman start and/or get a lot of playing time. Several Sophomore's in the rotation as well. They may be down this year, but next year they should bounce back and be very good.

Elwood at Blackford--This game will decide who finishes last in the conference. This game is going to be the lowest scoring game of the season. Elwood sneaks out a win. Mississinewa at Frankton--Mississinewa managed to stay competitive with Oak Hill last week. Frankton has improved but still not good enough as Mississinewa pulls out the win. Oak Hill at Madison-Grant--This is going to best game of the night. Both are very good this year. In the end I think Oak Hill has a little too much depth for MG as OH pulls out the win. Eastbrook at Alexandria--Alexandria has some speed that will create problems for Eastbrook. Alexandria collapses at the end and allows Eastbrook to win the game.

Alexandria at Elwood--Elwood is improving but Alexandria still cruises to a win. Madison-Grant at Blackford--MG is coming off of a big win but this week they take care of business again and beat Blackford. Oak Hill at Mississinewa--Oak Hill had a huge win and their defense is very strong. Mississinewa had a unexpected loss last week and uses the loss as motivation. As much as I want to say my Indians will win, I have to go with Oak Hill in this one. Frankton at Eastbrook--Frankton is much improved. Eastbrook was shut out last week for the first time in a very long time. Eastbrook rights the ship and gets back on track with a win this week.

Blackford at Alexandria---Blackford still has a ways to go before they become competitive. Alexandria will take the win and gain confidence against a bottom feeder. Elwood at Frankton---Frankton surprised everybody week 1 against Tipton. Elwood, well is still Elwood with another new coach. Frankton wins this one. Eastbrook at Oak Hill---This is the game of the week. Oak Hill is off to a good start. Eastbrook has given up more points in the first two games than they have in several complete seasons. Could this mean that the Eastbrook defense is not as good as past years? Oak Hill beat up on a very good 1A Southwood and an average Eastern in the first 2 weeks. Oak Hill pulls out the win in a barnburner. Mississinewa at Madison-Grant---MG is off to a fast start. Mississinewa lost to a very good Norwell team and beat Marion who is struggling to rebuild. This will be a test for both teams. Mississienwa has depth where MG may not have the depth. In the end Mississinewa wins this one.

Eastbrook and MG have dominated in Girls Softball. Eastbrook also does well typically in Cross Country, Track, and Golf. They also won the CIC in baseball this past year. Mississinewa has won 5 or 6 straight CIC Tennis titles in boys and several in the Girls. They also have been very competitive in Baseball (won CIC 2017), Basketball, Soccer (boys and girls), and track. Mississinewa is a legitimate 4A school and should move to a conference that has more 4A or bigger schools. Mississinewa and Eastbrook have a lot of talent coming up. The freshman class at Ole' Miss is loaded. The sophomore class has just as much talent. Eastbrook always struggle in the lower grades but when they get to high school something hits and they improve a lot. Remember the CIC over the last ten years has won Baseball, Basketball, and Softball state titles in different classes. I look for a few more state titles in the conference over the next few years. Would love to see Eastbrook and Mississinewa play for the football title in their respective classes soon. Hopefully if this happens they play the same day and both schools show up to support each other.

Looks like October 14 will be the game that decides the CIC Champion as this is when Eastbrook visits Mississinewa. I suspect both teams will have at most 1 loss in the conference and both should be undefeated in conference play coming into this game. Going to be a good season and I look for Eastbrook and Mississinewa to make a run in the State Tournament. MG may surprise people in the post season. Oak Hill could get a break in post season but will challenge Eastbrook and Mississinewa. My Conference final standings predictions are 1. Mississinewa 1. Eastbrook 3. Oak Hill 4. MG 5. Alex 6. Blackford 7. Frankton 8. Elwood Let's hear everybody else's thoughts on the final standings.

Mississinewa and Eastbrook will again finish 1-2. Mississinewa started a lot number of sophomore's last year. Hayden Nelson will be fun to watch as he finished 5th in the 100m State Final. The 4 ahead of him were all Senior's. So Mississinewa may have the fastest Senior in the State running the ball.
