I watched both games. Riverton Parke did most of their damage in the first half. (Against 7 and 8 man fronts.) Parke Heritage had their 1’s in the game on offense and defense until the start of the 4th. No way the Panthers rushed for most of their yards with a running clock in one quarter. And call it what you want, ‘big plays’ or not, if you give up 400 yds rushing to anyone, your defense is Swiss Cheese. The QB for Parke Heritage is as good as advertised, but he’s gonna need some help from his defense if they want to win a title. Just my two cents worth...

Because even Riverton Parke ran for 200 yds on the Wolfs. Championship teams play Defense as well as Offense. Parke Heritage’s lack of a run stopping Defense will be their downfall. (Another case in point... In their lone loss to North Vermillion, The Wolfs D gave up 400 yds rushing.) As I’m sure you’re aware of, the teams you play deeper in the tournament usually get better. Hard to score points when your D1 QB is standing on the sidelines watching the Defense get run over. Of course, that’s why we play the games... Good luck to all!

North Vermillion at Fountain Central- NV is too strong in this one. FC is struggling right now. Not much else to say about this game. Falcons win going away 42-14 South Vermillion at Seeger- Interesting match up. The resident 2As vie for WRC big school bragging rights. Possible sectional match up too? SV needs another conference win. However, so does Seeger. The Fighting Herbs pull out the squeaker over the Fighting Visors because they know how to run the ball 35-28 Tri-County at Covington- Trojans seem to be enjoying their second half surge into the wins column. Honestly, could the first half of their schedule be tougher? Big win for them last week. You need to be playing your best ball at the end of the season. Trojans win three in a row 35-12 Riverton Parke at Parke Heritage- On paper this is a no brainer. PH should score easy and win easy against RP. Fortunately, games are not played on paper. That would be pretty boring to watch. Can the Wolfs (You’re Welcome) recover from last week’s let down? Meanwhile, the Panthers have scored 40+ in back to back games. And this might be our first rainy Friday night. Upset Special and a Parke County classic! RP 29-28 Attica at North Central Farmersburg- This game may be closer than most people think. The T-Birds have some guys that can be dangerous in the open field. And what the heck happened to Attica against Covington? It shouldn’t be, but this game will be a barn burner until the Red Ramblers get some stops. Attica picks up another road win 49-35 Just my two cents worth...

Long time watcher, first time poster... I think the version of success people are looking for can be a little different. If it’s to win football games, then there is no doubt guys like Moore, King and Crabtree are highly successful. If it’s to build young men up and teach them the game of life while teaching them football, some other coaches would consider that success. But you’ll have a hard time convincing me a guy is there for the kids and not his own personal agenda if he bolts as soon as the talent drops off a little. Why not stay? It’s for the kids isn’t it? I think an often overlooked “successful” coach is Good from Attica. Even though he doesn’t have the hardware, he gets his teams to compete and win ball games. And I don’t think a guy like Sanders would ever move on from RP. From what I’ve seen and heard RP may be moving in the right direction. Who knows, if Sanders does move on, RP could be a landing spot for one of those “successful” coaches.
