Lawrence North won 33-26.

I checked the EventLink app and Warsaw has week 2 listed as an open date from 2026 on and week 1 listed as an open date from 2027 on. Ben Davis is listed as playing Cathedral and Avon thru at least 2028.

I give any team from the HCC the benefit of the doubt over any NCC team. An improved Avon team beats Lafayette Jeff by 10-14 points. Fishers blows out North Central. Brownsburg blows out Fort Wayne Dwenger. HSE at Carroll: Should be a hell of a game. HSE graduated a lot of players. Carroll returns a Big Ten recruit in Iowa commit Jimmy Sullivan and a strong senior class. Carroll wins by 3. Noblesville should control the line of scrimmage and literally run right over Mount Vernon. Noblesville wins by 17. Franklin Central blows out Perry Meridian. Zionsville and Pike always seem to play good games against each other. I think Eugene Hilton will be the difference. Zionsville beats Pike by 3. I think Westfield shocks the world and beats Center Grove and here's why: First, Westfield returns a lot more experience than Center Grove does. I know Kendall Garnett transferred to Warren Central, but they return I think 8 starters on offense, and that doesn't include QB Carsen Melvin, who is committed to Bowling Green, and should be even better than Jackson Gilbert. At running back, they still return Mikeah Webster. They return 4 starters on the offensive line, and the offensive line should keep the running game going even without Garnett. They returns a great group of receivers, led by Ball State commit Gabe Aramboles, along with Beau Braun and Parker Knott. Westfield returns their leading tackler Mikeah Webster along with Drew Law and Deacon King among other returnees on defense. Center Grove has a brand new QB, a new set of receivers, and they lost DE Kobe Cherry to a season ending injury according to Kyle Neddenriep. I'll say Westfield wins 31-24. Hoping I don't have egg on my face after making this prediction.

Fishers blows out North Central. Carmel beats Homestead by 3 TDs. Cathedral at Ben Davis: Ben Davis should win this game, but they better give Cathedral their full attention or Cathedral can pull the upset. If Ben Davis comes ready to play, and I think they will, they win by 2 TDs. LN at LC: LC should be an improved team, but here's the problem: their schedule is brutal. And it starts with an LN team that returns a ton of starters, including multiple D1 recruits. LN wins by 14-17 points. Warren Central at Fort Wayne Snider: This might be the most discussed game on this forum this week, and for good reason. Warren brings back a ton of talent, and Snider should be competitive in 6A with a very good defense. Is Warren Central worth the hype? I think so, but I picked Warren to win this game last year and was wrong. However, I think their standout defensive front and transfer portal additions on offensive will make Warren a state title contender. I think Warren wins by 7-10 points, but I won't be shocked a second year in a row if Snider wins. Zionsville and Pike always seem to play good games against each other. I think Eugene Hilton will be the difference. Zionsville beats Pike by 3. I think Westfield shocks the world and beats Center Grove and here's why: First, Westfield returns a lot more experience than Center Grove does.
