Totally agree. Leo did something that nobody else has been able to do this year and that's slow down EN in the 2nd half. The adjustments made at half time are also huge for EN and definitely need to give credit to the coaching staff. Last week Ole Miss kept up in the first half, but was unable to do anything in the 2nd half, similar to Leo the week before.

The 43 turnovers forced by the Hobart defense is impressive, and their offense is average. I do not think they have see a player more athletic than Parker. There is a reason nobody has been able to stop him this year, he has a running back that has rushed for over 1000 yards on top of the 4000 total yards Parker has put up this season. Hobart thrives on big plays and EN does not give up big plays. I still do not think this game will be a blowout for either team and will stick with EN 35-28. I believe there were over 300 tickets donated for the students from various business around the area. East Noble's community does an outstanding job supporting them not only during the season, but in the off-season as well. The tickets are only for students, $10.00 for a ticket may not seem like a lot, but for some of these kids it could have been the difference of going to the game or not.

Coach Foster used to be an assistant at EN, he was extremely well liked by players and coaches. I am sure they would love to still have him on the staff. It will be a packed house on Friday. Sounds like Hobart is bringing a bunch of fans, and this is the only game in the Fort Wayne area so it will attract a lot of people. I would expect it to be standing on both sides, not sure if EN is going to try to bring in more bleachers or not. I watched some Hobart games including the NP game from last Friday. EN has a lot of weapons offensively. They will not struggle to move the ball and score, and I do not think Hobart will have trouble moving the ball and scoring. I think this game is going to come down to who makes to least amount of mistakes. EN 35 Hobart 28

Great assessment, love the detail. EN has done well with teams who run the football. They shutdown Dekalb's running game in both meeting and matched up really well with Mishawaka. I could see this game being similar to the Mishawaka game, I believe EN and Mississinewa scrimmage each other in the summer as well if I am not mistaken.

The three key players who go both ways for EN are #1 Bailey Parker, #17 Gage Ernsberger and #11 Hayden Jones - all three are great athletes who make plays on both sides of the ball. They will want to make the Indians pass the ball because that is where the three players mentioned above can shine. The D-line for EN will need to show up this week by the sound of it. Should be a great football game on Friday.

That is similar to what Leo changed their offense to. Three quick but powerful running backs and just ate up the clock. I believe EN only ran 14 plays the first half. Is Mississinewa's defense good enough to slow down EN's offense?

The Knights were finally tested last week against Leo and the Indians have a couple of great sectional wins over Delta and Marion. East Noble (12-0) at Mississinewa (11-1) GAME TIME: 7 pm ET, Fisher Field. COACHES: Luke Amstutz, 68-20 in 8th year at East Noble, 94-35 in 12th year overall. Curt Funk, 77-35 in 10th year at Mississinewa. SAGARIN RATINGS: East Noble, 82.5, 25th overall, 2nd in 4A. Mississinewa, 72.18, 56th overall, 10th in 4A. LAST OUTING: East Noble defeated Leo, 14-7. Mississinewa defeated Marion, 31-28. VS. COMMON FOES: East Noble 2-0; Mississinewa 2-0. OPPONENTS' RECORDS: East Noble 75-57. Mississinewa 61-70. SERIES LAST 35 YEARS: No meetings. jh PREDICTION: East Noble, 35-21. I do not know much about Mississinewa so hopefully some of their fans can give some insight. The Indians will need to find a way to slow down the offense and Bailey Parker like Leo was able to do most of the game on Friday. I'll take EN 28-14

Makes sense. The last time I saw the Saints play was at LOS last year. Needless to say that was a defensive game on both sides...

How about Decatur Central and Cathedral? I have seen a lot of talk about the Cathedral and New Pal match-up, but this one looks like it could be a game as well.

Totally agree with you here. With Dwenger only winning the first game 9-7 Northrop will definitely see this as a winnable game.
