What the hell does the last 10 posts have to do with the 23 guy being mad at Gonzos for asking for donations? I gotta go

No love for the Mighty Trojans of Chatard?

They fell off the radar last season. More of a "wait and see" kind of a team.

High school pre-season polls aren't easy. I imagine there will be a lot of movement in the next couple of weeks. I give a lot of credit to last seasons performance. I believe you're at the top until someone knocks you off. I took the coaches poll into consideration. And a little bit of gut based one what I'm hearing in social media. Trying to give an unbiased opinion. If @temptation ever shows up, he can have the poll back. I didn't want to see the Top 25 go away in his absence.

Can't even throw in the once mighty Snider Panthers into Honorable Mention? Come on, throw em a bone

First thing I see is Dwenger at 16. Hmmm, seems a bit high, especially given a conversation recently that we had when I praised Dwenger. Are these rankings based on last year or where you really believe these teams are this year?

State title? Semi-state title? If memory serves correctly, winning a sectional title is very few far between…

I'm not picking anymore but I'll be creeping!

Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I will be able to get to any Reitz games this year as I had surgery on my foot two weeks ago, and I am moving around on crutches a few more weeks. North Reitz Mater Dei Boonville Jasper

Yeah you’re right. Martinsville beat them. I’m probably thinking of Providence.

FC had some addition by subtraction, and it wasn’t at QB. I swear to God they did

Don't worry Boys..defending champ is back! Our conference is a little lighter as @JQWL has moved out and @btownqbcoach has been MIA. But time for some picks after the 47 seconds of research I did. Eastern at West Washington- Watched the Pekin scrimmage against Valley last week. I still like the RB for Pekin alot (Martin). Just a sophomore. Big kid and the new offense will suit him well. WW lost their QB to Floyd Central right before season started. They do return some experience on both sides. Both teams enter fairly young. Ill take WW at home but time will tell if they take a step forward or continue the .500ish trend. Jennings County @ Paoli- Paoli has a new coach and i truly have 0 idea what thier style is gonna be. Jennings County is trying to rebuild. Heck of a drive and Jennings County will travel to Orange County twice this season. Ill take the Rams and assume Justin Thorton has 3+ TDs. LCC @ Mitchell- Props to Mitchell for taking this game. Watched em over the summer and think the coach has them in a better spot but LCC is one heck of a start. Springs Valley @ Edgewood- another long haul drive. Ive said for a few years i think this will be SVs best team and now that providence is gone could this be the only test all season and possible to regionals? Maybe. Their D played lights out in scrimmage. O looked good. New guys at Key positions but the lines on both sides will help ease that transition. Edgewood shocked the future 1A champs last season. Not sure of their returning players but gimmie the Blackhawks who have a boatload of talent. Tell City @ Perry Central- A little Rivalry to start the year is fun. Perry is young and probably not ready yet. But you gotta hope we see signs of life in Leopold after last season. Hopefully they show an upward trend as they move on throughout the season Switzerland County @ Crawford County- Crawford showed a ton of growth and number improvement last season. Coach Stroud has been great, but they did lose alot of seniors and honestly...I hate the flexbone. Hopefully the continue to build but give me SC after their breakout last season too. Brownstown @ Corydon- The Braves finally broke through and hit lucas and lost a heartbreaker. They too lost alot but over the years that never seems to matter. Betting against the braves feels like a gamble....and i do love gambling....but not that much. Good luck Panthers but i cant put your name in bold this week. North Harrison @ Salem- Pennington did one hell of a job for as late as he got it last year. I'd like to image a full offseason of implementing his plan will only help. Dent is a monster at RB. Gimmie the Lions. Scottsburg @ Madison- Welcome to the MSC Madison. Luckily you don't start the conference off against Braves or Pirates. And you get it at home. This one feels like hardest to pick (as I know next to nothing about both) but ill take the Warriors in a close one. Silver Creek @ Charlestown- Creeks new coach gets to start but traveling down the road to a conference bitter rival. A hell of a way to introduce yourself. I'm sure they will greet you politely.

They were as good as anyone in 97', 98', and 02'. Cary Cavacini and Drew Wood had some excellent teams. They've had good teams since Zolman took over in 2004, but only one that I felt could contend with anyone.........2019. That season ended at the hands of Carmel (best team in the state) with their best player sitting on the sidelines with an injury. But yes, you're right in that they've been "average" for the most part.
