Sometimes the competition this is a reason you don't. Those teams do sharpen each other, but it can also be an issue when you beat each other up. There are no weeks off.
After you posted, I logged in and saw the thread. I disagree with the premise. The HCC is the best high school conference in Indiana, top to bottom. If BD doesn't make that comeback, things look markedly different for the MIC.
I'm not even active on Harrell. I haven't been active on Harrell's message boards since the advent of Twitter. I'm there as johnnystir. Besides, I would never post anything like that. That's not who I am.
That 2011 game was notable because it went to OT. Coach Streiff went for the win, and the Giants stuffed them at the half yard line. I believe Antonio Allen made the initial hit.
I knew about Bargersville in the 80's and 90's. My dad loved the big flea market down there. Of course, Temp will completely doubt me knowing what my dad did.
It wasn't a small crowd. It just wasn't nearly as big as it could/should have been on the BD side. Brownsburg traveled the short distance and had that side looking impressive. Largest crowd I've seen over there in years.
I haven't seen that side of the stands that full since it was the home side. Not sure what happened with our crowd. It was decent, but it was down from even the Homecoming game. I don't know. I was wrong. Not the first time. I'm making it a habit around here. At least I admit it though...others don't.
