Lawrence Central 49 Lafayette Jeff 21 FINAL LC snaps a 13 game losing streak! The bigger picture though: Another example of how in Class 6A the gap between the MIC/HCC teams and everyone outside Central Indiana just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Totally agree. Merrillville ranked ahead of Westfield and also Elkhart and Homestead being ranked ahead of Warren Central and Ben Davis is ridiculous. Westfield and Warren Central were unfairly punished for losing to two of the top 20 teams in the nation. Here's how I think the 6A top 10 should look after week 1: 1. Center Grove 2. Carmel 3. Westfield 4. Brownsburg 5. Warren Central 6. Ben Davis 7. Merrillville 8. Hamilton SE 9. Homestead 10. Fishers I also think Gibson Southern should be ranked #1 in 3A after their dominant performance against Columbus North.

My picks are: Ben Davis Center Grove Carmel Fishers Hamilton SE Warren Central Lafayette Jeff

In addition to the games already mentioned, I was surprised by Monrovia's margin of victory over Ritter.

If Westfield can't beat Cathedral then Brownsburg has no chance against Cathedral. Cathedral beats Brownsburg 28-7.

I think Carroll at Fort Wayne Snider, Whiteland at Lawrence North, and Columbus North at Columbus East are all really interesting games.

In my opinion, here's how I see the 4A top 10 after week 1: 1. Roncalli 2. Mooresville 3. Leo 4. Jasper 5. East Central 6. Evansville Memorial 7. East Noble 8. Chatard 9. Hobart 10. Northridge

The Columbus East job is open. Bob Gaddis has retired after a legendary career that includes 2 state championships. http://www.therepublic.com/2020/11/19/gaddis_retires_as_east_football_coach/

Ben Davis has improved but Center Grove is just a machine. The only team that can beat Center Grove is themselves. Center Grove wins by 4 touchdowns.

South Adams will win the Class 1A State Title.

It turns out Tipton is the team that should have been ranked higher. 😆
