LC_Bears_04

The biggest difference why Center Grove was able to beat Cathedral in the tournament and Brownsburg couldn't:  Physical and mental toughness, especially the mental toughness.  It's embedded in Center Grove's culture, all the way down to the bantam leagues.  It's why Center Grove is about to 3-peat and why Brownsburg will never reach the state finals as long as John Hart is their head coach.

Hats off to Eric Moore and the Center Grove program.  They've earned the right to be the favorite in the 6A tournament every year until somebody finally beats them.

This game is going to come down to how well Center Grove can run the ball against Cathedral's defense, which will allow Center Grove to control the time of possession and keep the ball out of Danny O'Neil's hands.  Feels like this game could be destined for overtime.

HSE wins this game by at least 3 touchdowns.

I went 11-4 last week and 217 plus 33 equals 240 points.

Never mind this post I screwed up the math.

Sounded to me like OV wore GS down. Constant pressure on the QB. 

My guess, this would be a repeatable outcome for OV. They're much better than they were given credit for by most here

Got beat by a better team

Well obviously Owen Valley was the better team tonight, I'm asking for a breakdown of how the game transpired and what Owen Valley did well and what Gibson Southern didn't do well in the game.

What happened to Gibson Southern tonight?  I'm absolutely shocked at this final score.

Upsets happen every year in the tournament, but I have a better chance of replacing Shaquille Leonard in the Colts' starting lineup than Anderson does beating North Side on Friday.

Roncalli has to be kicking themselves for losing in the regional last season to Mount Vernon.  Otherwise, they'd be the favorites to win the 5A state title this season and wouldn't have to go through New Palestine to be state champions.

Week 11 Games

 

Just to clarify, Floyd Central is at Evansville North.

Columbus North

Bloomington North

Bloomington South

Evansville North

Castle

Martinsville

I think whoever wins the Fort Wayne North at Fort Wayne Snider game in the sectional finals wins the state championship.  I tend to think that Snider wins that game based off of previous tournament history.  Whiteland should make it to Lucas Oil Stadium from the south side of the bracket, but Franklin and Bloomington South will give them tough challenges.

My Picks:

Sectional Champs:

Crown Point

Carroll

Hamilton SE

Carmel

Brownsburg

Cathedral

Warren Central

Center Grove

Regional Champs:

Carroll

Carmel

Cathedral

Center Grove

Semi-State Champs:

Carmel

Center Grove

State Champion:  Center Grove

The biggest storyline in the 6A tournament to me is:  Can a Hoosier Crossroads Conference team finally win a state championship in the largest classification for the first time since Fishers in 2010?  However, until I see one of those teams finally win class 6A, then I am going to give Center Grove, Carmel, Cathedral, and Ben Davis the benefit of the doubt over them.  I think there's a very strong chance the winner of the Center Grove-Cathedral rematch wins its third consecutive state title.
