Welp the time you all been waiting for. Even all those readers who don't make profiles and join the convo! Time for my picks Crawford County @ South Decatur- I still can't believe Crawford got beat by Brown County the way they did. Ive said it a ton...I wish every PLAC team would be good. Would only help come tourny time. Unfortunately it might be an 0-10 season for the pack Mitchell @ Eastern Greene- Both teams are rebuilding. In the Southwest threat Mitchell was getting 32 pts! Not sure this is a blowout....but ill take the birds at home. Perry Central @ Paoli- PC ended its losing streak last week which was good to see. Paoli looked decent for about 1.5 Quarters against Valley last week. Not sure PC is ready to win this game. Paoli gets back on track after losing Orange Bowl for 2nd straight season. West Washington @ Springs Valley- This is basically the PLAC title match after the Blackhawks put it to Paoli. Shocked at amount of people picking the Senators in this one. Dont think the Run game is good enough and Valley is gonna run 4 dudes all night against em. WW gave up 37 to TC and i think Valley has a better O. WW may be better but not sure they are ready to win. Brownstown @ Salem- luckily for me I don't have to fall into the Salem trap this week. Brownstown JV may get Varsity time every game till....Semi St? Braves by whatever they want Corydon @ Scottsburg- Harrison County is struggling in football this season. I cant pick either one for possibly rest of the season. North Harrison @ Charlestown- See above? Kind of the same....only this one may get ugly. Silver Creek @ Madison- Closest game of the week? Might be. 2 things keep costing me. Believing in Salem....doubting Madison. Brownstown helped me this week. But I'm going against the cubs again! Why? I dunno.

I think it doesn't matter what conference you are in , every year there a a couple Indy bubble teams you are not going to beat . Look at the very tough HCC conference, Fishers just got waxed 47-0 by Carmel and 48-0 by LN . If this were Penn or any Northern team taking these butt kickings, we would never hear the end of it . Why isn't this very tough conference helping Fishers this year ? Hse is also in the HCC, they got destroyed by Carroll .

I can't answer why Penn doesn't leave the NIC . Maybe they weighed the extra cost vs reward of joining the DAC and it doesn't make sense . Let's be honest , Penn plays in a weak ass conference and they managed to beat the DAC's best last year in the playoffs .

Actually about 10 Minutes

Its a long drive.....time to live like most of the conferences in Indiana. See above the PAC has figured it out....why can't Penn? Probably schedule those games for a Saturday in your other sports. Long drives aren't stopping schools with way less resources than Penn from finding a conference with more balanced competion.

I'm not going to argue with you about distances of schools , but comparing a 41 mile drive from Carmel to CG in Indy traffic, to 88 miles from Penn to Crown Point or Lake Central in Chicago traffic is funny . I've been to a Friday night game at Lake Central , it took well over 3 Hours to get there .

Exactly.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but Penn only has one conference opponent in another county....and its Elkhart. Which is probably a 30 minute drive tops.

The Pocket Athletic Conference extends across Perry, Spencer, Dubois, Warrick, Gibson, Pike, and Posey counties. ETA: Forgot Daviess County now that Washington is in the conference.

The travel times would be comparable or even shorter than several other conferences in Indiana. My guess is the longest drive would be to LC....a shade under 2 hours depending on traffic (which is long). Most DAC schools are closer. Penn has lived in the cocoon of never having to drive across more than one couny line for an NIC game for several decades. Get over yourselves.... Do you know how many conferences extend across 4 or more counties? Do you know what conference Richmond is in???? Do you know which schools are in the Sagamore conference??? Do you know what the driving time is from Carmel to Center Grove on a weeknight with 465 traffic? Give me a break....

And my point is ,in most of the years of those blowout State losses, Penn was playing in state and out of state powerhouse teams . How did it work out for them ?

And you said it right to her face!

Why did Roncalli and Cathedral stop playing each other in the regular season? Cathedral has space for Southport, but not Roncalli?

The Harrison game was definitely a head-scratcher...

@gonzoron the pick 'em king. We all know what his favorite prediction league is though.

Cass at Manchester Maconaquah at Whitko Peru at Northwestern Rochester at Clinton Prairie Southwood at Northfield

Covington @ Fountain Central The Woofs @ Attica Riverton Parkes @ Seegers South Vermillions @ North Vermillions

Week 4 Schedule BNL (2-1, 1-0 HHC) at New Albany (1-2, 0-0 HHC) 5A #5/#6 Floyd Central (3-0, 0-0 HHC) at Seymour (0-3, 0-2 HHC) Jennings County (2-1) at Columbus East (1-2) Kokomo (0-3) at Jeffersonville (1-2)

Castle barely beat North -- North literally fumbled away the win. North barely beat Harrison. Just sayin'

1. Considering the starting QB is one of the better athletes, I'd say it's pretty necessary.. especially with a team that has less than 25 kids on the roster. Put too many inexperienced/jv players on punt you give up punt returns. 2. Definitely a tough call. I did get a chance to watch this game. Their kicker did hit both PAT's previously, but this kick was another 10ish yards deep from a hash. I think they just took a chance with their all-conference QB and failed.

Musta missed that...

Probably not, going camping this weekend. And I don't think it will be close, the Zebras should win easily. And even better at Prairie's field the visitor bleachers face East, so Rochester fans won't get the brunt of the setting sun. If you are looking for good food before the game I recommend the Oasis, on SR39 south in between Frankfort and Antioch. Best BPT in Clinton county.

But everyone isn't Tango. There was a news story about how they were so beaten down due to injuryies last year that this year was going to be a big rebound.
