My updated picks after week 7: Class 6A: Avon over Homestead Class 5A: New Palestine over Valparaiso Class 4A: Evansville Central over New Prairie Class 3A: Chatard over Heritage Hills Class 2A: Western Boone over Cass Class 1A: South Adams over Lutheran I think 4A is the toughest class to pick and the most wide open class. There’s about 9 teams that have a legit shot at winning class 4A.

Merrillville will beat Lafayette Jeff in sectional 1.

I don’t understand how Elkhart Central is ranked ahead of Mishawaka even though Mishawaka won at Elkhart Central 22-17 last Saturday.

I can’t figure out why Princeton and Gibson Southern aren’t in the same sectional, especially considering they are the only football playing high schools in Gibson County and the fact that the IHSAA likes to keep geographic rivals in the same sectional, like Fishers and Hamilton SE, LC and LN, and Southport and Perry Meridian. So I guess Princeton and Gibson Southern aren’t in the same sectional because the people at the IHSAA who put the sectionals together either failed geography class or were just too lazy to put together more geographically-accurate sectionals.

In a perfect world you would see Chatard vs. Crawfordsville Guerin Catholic vs. Yorktown Brebeuf vs. North Montgomery West Lafayette vs. Hamilton Heights If you seeded the teams, the seeds would be 1. Chatard 2. West Lafayette 3. Brebeuf 4. Guerin Catholic 5. Yorktown 6. North Montgomery 7. Hamilton Heights 8. Crawfordsville I have Chatard seeded #1 because their blowout wins over Brebeuf and Southport are better wins than any wins West Lafayette has on its resume so far, and Chatard’s loss to Cathedral is more impressive than West Lafayette’s loss to Lafayette Jeff.

I agree about Mike Gillin but I’d also throw Phil Mason in the mix. He won a state title at Andrean and has done a terrific job turning around the Michigan City program.
