Good work, thanks for doing that! Wild to me how good Reitz was yet they still return that much. Might finally be their year to win another sectional, not sure how long it's been. North could be dangerous if all those returning kids develop. Vincennes should be just as good or better with who they return. Bosse could be sneaky good if their returning players develop as well. Lot of question marks for the rest of the teams, but we know MD and Memorial will find a way to be competitive when it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a very interesting season, lots of teams are going to brag up each other for that precious SIAC title. However, Reitz and Vincennes seem to be the clear contenders. Since the expansion, there has always been a different SIAC winner, will that trend continue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they gave up the most passing yards in the SIAC...they could still be bad, just older and bad. Lose a couple guys upfront, I just don't see them making a big jump.

Defense should improve, some questions with offense since they lose a bit on the O-line and some viable weapons. But having Hunt back is huge for the Alices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reitz hasn't won a Sectional since 2016. By comparison, since then Mater Dei has a state title, 2 Semi-States, 3 Regionals and 4 Sectionals, Memorial has won 2 state titles, 3 Semi-States, 4 Regionals, and 5 Sectionals, and Castle has won 3 Sectionals and 2 Regionals.

Wow. Thanks for sharing those numbers. I'm sure there's some Reitz faithful getting impatient but last season certainly gave them hope, from top to bottom. Don't think many expected them to turn it around in that fashion. Rumblings are, they will be good for a while now. As far as the sectional goes next season, they definitely have a great chance but cannot count Memorial out, or even Jasper. And maybe extra motivation, they can knock Memorial down to 3A I believe.

I would say Reitz, North, and Memorial are my top 3 contenders. I think Vincennes will be only slightly better, but not quite good enough to take down the big dogs. Especially with the quality of SIAC coaches and now having more film and prep for defending Hunt. I believe they play at Reitz in week 2 so that will be a huge game, and although an early game, we'll find out how much of a contender they may be. To answer your question, I believe Reitz will repeat. By the way, if you get extra time and are bored, it would be cool to see a projected starters report for each team! Still lots of time to kill before the season starts 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably difficult to know what players will be coming up and stepping into starters role. You're right about the factors being involved too (transfers, kids deciding to play, kids deciding to not play, injuries, up and coming underclassmen, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a lot of bodies to replace (especially in the trenches) and I don't think we have all that much beef in the younger groups. I think 2024 will find the Tigers back in Sectional 32 with our friends from the PAC (and maybe with MD if they can win a Regional in 2023).

While there is a lot skill players, trenches is what concerns me right now since we have to replace 3 OL starters and the entire DL for this season. Maybe a few of the younger guys go throw a growth spurt. Then again, let’s see what Hurley molds out of this group Edited February 2, 2023 by TigerFan20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screagle Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I can remember being concerned about the trenches in 2018. Undersized and not very experienced group that were just tough kids.

I know we don't have anyone like Combs (X2) and Lindauer, but if we have some guys in the wings like Goodwin, Merrimee, Jones, Falkenstein, Warner, etc., then we will be fine.

TransplantedPanther Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Wasn’t Lincoln incredibly young in the secondary last year? Seems like with another year under their belt, and that ball hawking defense, they could be one of the top defenses in the conference.

That's pretty impressive, IMO. I think you are correct and I don't think any changes are expected. That's great for the conference and the players. It's huge for teams to just have that commitment and stability from the head coach, at least for a few years. However, if Central has another 0-10 season, I could see their coach getting out. As far as I know they only return a few starters, but could potentially have some talented underclassmen coming up to help turn it around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
