Best of luck to the Tigers this week.  Taking down EC may be too much to ask of this group but would not bet against them, either. 

Hurley & Co. will have the Tigers ready to compete. 

Very much appreciated. I imagine the MD folks were pretty happy to see Reitz get beat. It would take an upset of biblical proportions this week. Like Reitz, East Central will be bigger, faster and stronger than us at every position, but unlike Reitz, they are also very disciplined and won't have the encroachment, personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The good news is East Central will move up to 5A when they win state, so we might have a slightly better chance in 4A the next 2 years.

There is always a chance!

I watched their rerun of the Martinsville game over the weekend and Ringer’s field position is some of the best I’ve seen in a while. Always stays inbounds and usually gets 5-7 more yards when he is being tackled. Miami (OH) got a good one right there.

Makes sense when you lead the nation in individual touchdowns this season. Ringer has been beast of a player for EC these last 2 seasons

Preview 

North finally ends their sectional title drought after 23 years by winning it in a shootout against Castle 60-50. And finally made a regional appearance in 2000. Bloomington South has won 3 straight sectional championships. Bloomington South leads this series 3-2.

Coming in 8-3, North travels for the third straight week in the postseason and has put up some impressive wins so far. Getting wins over Floyd Central and Castle, however, Bloomington South will be a tall task to face. Offensively, North has seen a massive improvement in the later half of the season having multiple 400+ total yardage games after starting off somewhat slow. The Huskies strong suit is their rushing attack behind the biggest OL in the SIAC, which averages at around 6’3 300 pounds. The Huskies have averaged 232.4 yards per game this year on the ground. While averaging 6.41 yards per carry, thanks to a strong OL push. And thanks to a strong RB duo with multiple 100+ yards games. And a pretty quick QB has over 500 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs. North will pass too when they have it, as they have been pretty accurate the last few games too. They usually average around 137.8 yards per game, but a good 14.17 yards per catch and 16 TDs. Defensively, the Huskies have the biggest DL in the SIAC too, which has helped them these past couple of games. North’s run defense has been one of the top units in the SIAC allowing 106 yards per game, and has only allowed a couple games over 100 yards. North’s pass defense has seen a lot of improvement late in the season too, only allowing 128.2 yards per game and has grabbed 9 interceptions. One of the biggest features of this North defense is their quickness in the backfield. North’s defense has tallied over 110 TFLs, mainly led by their senior DE, who has 25.5 TFLs. They also have racked up over 40 sacks this season. 

 

Bloomington South comes into this game as one of the top teams in 5A all season and currently has a great shot at playing in Indianapolis. The Panthers have a pretty good offense this season, especially in the passing game, where the Panthers average 207.5 yards per game. Mainly behind their QB who appears to be a stud in his final year, having over 2200 passing yards and a very impressive 31 TD/ 4 INT ratio. Their QB has a plethora of receivers to choose from, with 3 of them having over 500+ yards this season and scoring multiple TDS per player. The Panthers also have done well in the running department, averaging around 164 yards per game 5.4 yards per carry, and 26 TDS. Their starting RB has eclipsed over 1100 yards while getting 12 touchdowns and their QB has totaled 6 touchdowns too. Defensively, the Panthers have been stout in the run game only allowing 60.5 yards per game on 2.61 yards per carry. And has only surrendered 1 game over 100 yards this season. Their passing defense appears to be the weakest part of their defense, giving up 195 yards per game, as most teams prefer to pass against them rather than run. However, besides 2 games in a few-week stretch, there has been improvement in limiting yards in the passing game. Their defense has also racked up 51 TFLs and 26 sacks this season.

Sorry, but neither SIAC team wins tonight, and I would have said the same thing if Reitz was playing EC tonight. 

Yep, both have tall tasks ahead of them. I am looking forward to EC being in 5A.
