I just made new predictions in the post above yours. The predictions you quoted were my preseason predictions I made before week 1. I do agree with you about North Vermillion now after seeing their result against Linton-Stockton. I think North Vermillion’s conference and sectional is a toss-up between them and Parke Heritage. I now have South Adams winning class 1A. I still think Western Boone is the best team in class 2A. They took their foot off the gas pedal and blew a big lead against a good class 4A Western team and only lost by 1 point. I think that’s the only time Western Boone loses this season.

I’ll bite. 6A: Avon over Carmel 5A: New Palestine over Valparaiso 4A: Mooresville over New Prairie 3A: Chatard over Gibson Southern 2A: Western Boone over Cass 1A: South Adams over Lutheran

I don’t understand how Homestead isn’t ranked yet in 6A. I have had them in my top ten since before the season started. Can’t wait to see what happens against Dwenger and Snider the next two weeks.

I’ll go with Warren Central 28, Lawrence Central 14.

Never been more happy to be dead wrong in my life! I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked that LC won tonight. They looked like a completely different team tonight than they did the first two weeks. Extremely proud that they didn't quit and figured this thing out. That's 2 years in a row now that LC has turned things around and beaten LN in week 3 after looking not so great in the first 2 games. 15 WINS IN A ROW FOR LC AGAINST LN!

To me the biggest measuring stick for the HCC is if the Avon/Brownsburg sectional winner can beat the Warren Central/Center Grove regional winner in the Semi-State and advance to the State Finals.

Carmel over Center Grove 20-17. Best game of the week and will probably come down to the last 2 minutes of the game. Lawrence North over Lawrence Central 35-14. LC is a bad team this year. Very undisciplined and poorly coached. Thankfully this game is at Lucas Oil Stadium so the LN students won’t rush the field and tear down the goal posts after the game like they did in 2003. Warren Central and Ben Davis should both win by double digits. Avon should win in a blowout IF they stay focused this week and don’t look ahead to the Brownsburg game. I trust that Mark Bless and his coaching staff will have Avon ready to play on Friday night. Fishers and Brownsburg will both dominate their respective opponents. Westfield by 7 over Zionsville in a very underrated game this week.

I think Warsaw makes it all the way to Semi-State this season. That defense is really, really good.

I made those predictions before last Friday’s games were played. I was trying to decide whether to pick Pioneer or Eastbrook as the 2A state finalist from the North. So of course I picked the wrong team. My 2A prediction is now Western Boone over Eastbrook. I don’t think any less of Eastbrook for losing a competitive game to an excellent team in Marion that I think will make the 4A State Finals this season.
