I paid $7.90 as well via Event Link at Zionsville on Friday night. My wife sometimes works the gates. Oh man, she gets an earful from the old timers who pull up with only cash in the pocket.

As Sir Charles Barkley once said, "I don't know nuthing' about LaVille, but LaVille is in trouble." Or maybe he was talking about Angola... LOL.

That's a BIG line. You think Mater Dei will score 35 points?

Good enough to beat LaVille by 35...

Thankfully, there are bars and restaraunts around Indy that cater to Bears fans. But, yeah, it's annoying that I pretty much know I'm not getting the Bears on Fox59 or CBS4 if the Colts are on at the same time. Otherwise, I feel like the Indy stations will typically televise the Bears.

I can't see anything. Maybe what you posted is blocked at my place of employment. Can you describe what's happened?

CIC play starts this week. The conference was represented much better this week, going 5-3. Eastbrook at Alexandria - Rematch from a BARNBURNER in the First Round of Sectionals last year. Townsfolk of Alex still have nightmares of the Bodie Howell scamper from that night. Both teams lost a lot of production with graduation, and new names will leave their mark as Mr. Howell did, I'm sure. Slightly more impressed with the play of Alex upfront so far, and that'll win the game. Elwood at Blackford - Elwood put it on Tri-Central in the Rock Bottom Bowl. Elwood has a few good pieces, but the low numbers won't allow them to be competitive after this week. Blackford took a way worse beating than I thought, but they did score 36, and that could make things interesting on Friday. Blackford kids know they won't have many chances after this, so expect a Herculean effort. Elwood wins in OT with another Mireles Miracle. Side note: Powerhouse Wes-Del might just make it to the 2nd round of Sectionals for the first time since 2017. 156 on Tri-Central and Blackford is quite the feat to hang your hat on. Score it while you can, I suppose. Mississinewa at Frankton - Mississinewa looked better against Marion, or Marion was just that much worse; unsure on that. Hard to get a good gauge on Frankton after playing Tipton then Lapel, but there are some bright spots for the young Wells Warriors. Branham kid is a good athlete and shows flashes of being a good player, but I think Mississinewa is still too much. Indians 35-14 Oak Hill at Madison-Grant - OH has confused me with their 0-2 start and a rough showing against Norwell, especially after a brutal loss to a good Eastern team. MG's 2-0 record carries little weight, but they are still physical and play quality football. Lots of dislike between these two, with a little extra fuel this year due to some staff movement. Oak Hill's Double Dive and Waggle are the difference-makers. Ott will be key to OH winning. Oak Hill wins 33-21. Final Standings Prediction: Mississinewa Oak Hill/Alexandria Eastbrook Madison-Grant Frankton Elwood Blackford

How good is Mater Dei?

After a competitive Wk.2, its Blow-out City this week. LaVille got smoked by 1A North Judson, so I don't see them hanging with MD. IMO, the only chance at an interesting game could be Jasper at Reitz. It wouldn't surprie me Reitz dominates Jasper. Already looking ahead to Wk.4 with Memorial @ MD and Reitz @ North.

Week 2 Results St. Pius at Gibson Southern (-19.5) Heritage Hills at Owensboro Apollo (+10.5) South Spencer at Eminence (-2.5) West Washington at Tell City (-14.5) Reitz vs. Tri-West (+6.5) Castle at Mater Dei (0) Central at Bosse (+7.5) Memorial at North (+17.5) Monrovia at Linton (0) Vincennes at Northview (-6.5) --- Week 2 Points gonzoron - 4 Cappy - 2 JQWL - 2 IUFAN - 3 Week 2 Standings gonzoron - 12 IUFAN - 10 Cappy - 9 JQWL - 7 SPARKS - 6

FC vs RP - Ill take RP for 800 Alex NV vs Covington - NV is still struggling offensively. They have no run game, but Hinchee has some upside. Covington lost to the Polytechnicians last week. Ill still take Covington this week by a few scores. 27-12 Seeger vs Attica - Seeger by as many as they want. QB had quite a week last week 5 TDs no INTs. Is he the best QB in the conference? 47-6 SV vs PH - This is game of the week for me. PH dominated last week, and SV got a spankin. PH will have home field advantage, but the Cats will use the power of the Little Italy Festival weekend to win on a last second hail mary, then stompa da grapes on the field directly after. 35-34

Is LaVille really that bad? I know absolutely nothing about them. I remember MD's last non-conference game vs Whiting that was a blowout as well.

Legacy, baby! Pollsters probably think Goebel is still coaching.

WOW! Coaches giving Mater Dei a lot of love for beating Castle.

Tough two weeks for the stars as far as injuries go. Parker Kern (Starting WR) Grady Dalton (Starting LB) Brody Horton (Starting RB and LB) Ben Gratzer (Spelling) (Starting Corner) All out for the season, and major losses. For a group that had so many playing two ways, some young guys are going to have to step up for the stars. Pretty big game Friday night at Jeff IMO. Would assume it's for 2nd place in the HHC.

Colts being sold out is irrelevant. NFL teams want their teams' game to be the only one on broadcast television, in their market, while they are playing.

Speedhawk had a clean sweep of the board Week 2 He had Doggies, EC and L'burg all winning, it's true This week I'll make my pick of the slate Boring again, schedules not pulling much weight Give me the Pirates in a close game, maybe one score Connertucky the laughing stock of the EIAC once more Maybe in tennis or girls golf they'll shine If they ask for an exit, now might be the time... Finally! A game with some intrigue, Speedhawk is in love A battle of two titans looking for a shove EC comes off a big win in New Pal I think Elder brings them back to earth and hurts the morale Jo-Jos at Lions in a battle of cats, I bet we wait another week for the Lions Offense to put up some stats... They bad, they are brutal, they haven't seen a point To the bottom of the conference they go, stinking up the joint Tough week for the Knights, Boom couldn't jump a 2A The Doggies are conference, on the schedule they'll stay On the hunt for a win, Mardi Gras will take a lick Harder it gets, when Sisters of the Poor, you can't pick YellowJackets in Stinkcity for a Route 50 clash Kitties will run right over em, they'll hack and slash But it's not EC or 5a, so this one seems chalk Speedhawk sees his shadow 7 more weeks of running clock!
