fenderbender Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 29 minutes ago, The TW said: Luke Hansen went for right at 200 against New Palestine tonight. He started the game with one of the most violent sacks I’ve seen and continued to be a difference maker on the defensive side of the ball all game. He also broke Roncalli’s career rushing record tonight. I ran out of allowed likes on posts, so my like does not show up on this one. the kid from Andrean is a star, but what the heck does Hansen have to do to win it? If he manages to carry Roncalli over EC next weekend, he willl run for 400 yards against whoever comes out of the north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he manages to carry Roncalli over EC next weekend, he willl run for 400 yards against whoever comes out of the north I think Luke Hansen has done plenty to make a case for Mr. Football. He didn't manage to carry Roncalli over East Central in the Semi-State losing in OT by a FG 24-21, but he did run the ball 41 times for 204 yards and 3 TD's. Which was a pretty impressive game to me. East Central and Roncalli were very evenly matched and made for 2 outstanding games! Week 9 in St. Leon Roncalli 21 East Central 19 and Week 14 in St. Leon East Central 24 Roncalli 21 in OT. Rushing for 204 yards and 3 TD's against the EC Defense is very impressive, just like Ringer rushing for 150 and Brotherton 75 against Roncalli's defense was impressive. I knew whomever would win that game (East Central and Roncalli) would win the State Championship easily. I also would say it was a 3 team race East Central, Roncalli, and New Palestine (if New Pal's RB had not been hurt) and all 3 of them ran the ball very very well.

If we talk semi state…I’ll take Bowen and his 34 carries for 358 and 5 TDs (in not even 4 quarters) plus the win! unfortunately couldn’t get in done over the weekend though…still gotta say it’s his to win!

I don't believe I said "win" I specifically said Hansen has made his case for Mr. Football. I 100% believe in that statement. I will say rushing for 358 yds and 5 TD's is very good, I don't think however there is much of a comparison between FW Luers defense and East Central's defense. Both will be candidates.

Had 8 for 29 against merriville with 16 tackles 2 for loss and a sack had 12 for 60 some against CP with 8 tackles 2 for loss and fumble recovery they threw a lot both games theyre both good players and will probably be 1 and 2…I just think it’s Bowen’s… does it both sides of the ball…has about half the carries as Hanson and definitely doesn’t have the line he does which is possibly the best in the state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm so torn on Drayk bowen On one hand I witnessed him run out of bounds intentionally in the first quarter of the luers game, which is just completely unforgivable On the other hand he absolutely leveled that wr from mater dei (it was a beautiful tackle and any player with their helmet and pads on is not defenseless, it's not his fault the kid is short) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not. Regardless they have had a terrific defense for several years now. Their games against Lawrenceburg, Harrison OH (a rival like Roncalli vs Chatard), Moeller, and Roncalli are no cake walks. Just like New Pal regardless what their schedule is they still bring it offensively and defensively and have for several years with close games against: Roncalli, Ev Reitz, Columbus East, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not as often and not the same position. 3 - he does have half the carries also has half the yards and plays half the competition (my personal opinion). Has a great line, but most great RB's do (name me one great RB over the last 20 years that didn't have a great O-line). Regardless how good Roncalli;s line was. the best in the State was most likely New Palestine's but Roncalli's D-line put them to the test.

HomeCookin Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I think Hansen is the winner, but I’m surprised no one has mentioned Micah Coyle from Center Grove. Carries-306 Yards-2072, AVG-6.8, TD-22, and his team won the state championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there was a MAJOR reason that Bowen didn't get a lot of carries til late in the year, but I'm sure folks don't want to hear about it. Schedule, other than East Chicago and the 2a Tournament, Andrean had a pretty good schedule, maybe not as good as Roncalli, but not horrific by any means.

Just stop. The damn kid carried the ball 400+ times and EVERY opposing defense KNEW it was coming…and couldn’t stop it.

Michigan has the best OL in the country and ran for 10 yards in the first half because OSU continually had 8-9 guys in the box. It wasn’t until the second half after they’d been burned by the deep ball multiple times before they shredded them in the run game. How many voters actually saw both teams play? Dumb question. Every region votes for their guy and stuffs the ballot box. It comes down to the other areas. If Hansen wins, brace yourself for the “Indy bias” crowd to return and whine.

Last year I voted for OL from Avon, I do my homework, My school is part of Region 4, Lafayette area Hansen could very well win, if he does, I will not bat an eye. Your 1st attempt of parallelism of Indiana 2a and 4a Catholic teams vs 2 programs who are in top 5, and most consider the vaunted BLUE BLOODs of College Football, is laughable at best, however highly entertaining., Like you really really believe 1 game's stats in a college game where both teams get WHOEVER they want in the linage of 4 and 5 star guys vs these 2 teams offensive lines in Indiana, I mean, that is some good throw it against the wall stuff. Well done, got a true giggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
