I dont think anyone from Lcc is as sure as u r.... I can c IL outta the south... #1 rated an all.... but the North...sec 43 and 44 look tuff... an I think SA is Sr dominated... that's BiG to overcome .. plus its said they r the best team they ever had.... that's a huge red flag..... Soutwood looks strong as well and ther is AC an Busco plotting a way to take them out....Lcc is fairly young in areas.... but coming together..... we c.....

Oh... Monroe Central is no slacker as well....  I'd say Its SA vrs Sothwood with SA  flavored  to meet the favored Knights at semi....... gives LCC a month to get..... good enuff as they say.....

I always thought this was one of the coolest stats that you can surmise in the State Championship program on Thanksgiving weekend.  You get to see all of the other stats like yards, points, etc., but I always thought this was the coolest.  Not sure of the details surrounding that season for Northwood, but it seems to be one of those storylines that should continually get a nod right about this time, start of sectionals, each year.

I totally agree.... and I think we all can agree that building a program capable of winning a State Title is an incredibly hard thing to do!...... and a beautiful thing to c....... is it fri yet?

2005  3-6 Northwood makes a run and wins 3A state title over Chatard 7-0

That was.... IMPRESSIVE!!

I would say... Sheridans run and.. LCCs 4peat  r much more impressive than WC ... given the sheer size of WC dwarfs... nearly all but a few competitors..... 🤭

Meant to post this on the Hoosier Conference thread instead of the LC/Pioneer thread.

 

Hoosier conference sectional champion predictions.  Who all do you think will win or has a chance of winning their sectional.  I am going to take no less than 4 of these below.

1. West Lafayette- Certainly will have a tough Sectional opponent in Chatard

2. Cass-  Tough week one opponent but if the Kings can get by Pioneer they should win their sectional

3. Rensselaer- Got Boone Grove, Andrean, North Newton- Will the Bombers be healthy for a long tournament run? I think so!

4. LCC- Knights roll through their sectional

5. Twin Lakes- My long shot... Knox, Calumet the favorites but I actually think the Indians could pull this one out.

6. Tipton- Big second round matchup with Eastbrook might be too much for this young Tipton team.

7. Western- Don't know much about this sectional or the state of Westerns Health but they look as good as any in this sectional

 

1) Scratch WL.... since class expansion.... ONLY PPs repeat in 3A...  primarily if ur name is Chatard... not so in other classes....

2) The Kings win this one...Pioneer is CURSED... for all I know... a squirrel will run out on the field and trip up the fastest player on it ...as he is about to run in the go ahead score with no time left.... LoL

3) No real feel for this one... I'll go w RC they adapt pretty well.. solid team..well coached...and pop was a bombadier in a B17 ... good enuff for me.... more rooting for them than anything else...

4)  LCC is solid here.... looking to improve their execution for when they need it.... and they will need it .......

5) Gotta go with Knox in this one... not that I know much about em... jus not impressed w TL resume.....

6) Eastbrook......

7) I agree.... who knows.....

Disclaimer: my picks r based... not on the 3 facets of the game so much... as they r heavily weighted on the 4th facet.. Those darned ole INTANGIBLES.... 🤭

Agree to disagree. Cass dominated the trenches and that's also where Pioneer's injuries occurred 

Your saying being ping pong balled wasn't the start of the.. Curse?.. It started with the untimely injuries before game one w Cass?  Yep...the Panters r screwed....  LoL

You do realize that the whole jinx issue is a joke, don't you? 😕

That's what I'd expect .... a man of science to say.... some of us ... r a lil more superstitious.....  😏

Like @Coach Nowlin said, it was off-season/post-tourney talk, but no one knocked on wood or tossed it over their shoulder or walked around it rather than under it, so the football gods saw fit to ping pong ball them for starters.  Like @BendNotBreak said, just a question now of how long the bad juju lasts. 😁

The Pioneer staff ... may still hav time to call in the.... Exorcist.....   But me thinks they r pretty much screwed.   LoL

What happened to Western?  They were up 20-0 on LCC and lost?  I watch them warm up for games and stand in awe of the 30 some lineman they have, and then I look over at our 8-10 depending on the week that Cass has.  It is amazing to me.

1st Q jitters.... put em in a deep hole... then they bucked up..... and refused to lose..... pretty well sums it up.....

How so?

See above.... the only question left is.... will the curse continue next yr.... or will it last a hundred yrs... like the goat and the cubs..... LoL

No doubt Cass and Pioneer are ready to strap them up and go head to head again. I would compare this game to the regional showdown a few years ago between the Kiser brothers Pioneer Panthers and Cronk and Anthrop's LCC Knights. Can it just be Friday already!!!

No worries.... Pioneer.... JINXED THEMSELVES.........  😆

The Panthers were jixed last yr when  fans touted how they would run thru 2a. They may not even win a game... ain't Karma a bitch.........

No but Andrean plays the likes of Merrillville, New Prairie, Hobart and Lowell. 

Luers even at 2-7 plays the likes of Dwenger, Snider, Carroll and Homestead. 

Pioneer will be ready im sure. 

I agree..... they could fall...it's a tuff road... the thing is... The Kings didnt just put up a fight... they WON .... that's Huge.....

Cass also served notice tonight that they are definitely in the hunt for Thanksgiving weekend at LOS.  Big boost of confidence for them heading into Week 1 of Sectionals. 

What the Kings an Knights accomplished tonite was ... inspiring... that is what it takes to win a title... WL is gonna hav to regroup fast if they gonna survive sec 28.... an the knights ... whata turnaround from last yrs beating... they faced the jitters head on...an overcame em.... valuable lesson.... time to sharpen the knife now....

I believe the big 3 in Tippecanoe Co would b open to other options.... Lafayette vrs Bloomington would b an ... Excellent.... idea.... 😁

It is good to c Jeff back .... Having been brought up in Lafayette.... ther was no way Jeff would sit back an let LCC and WL hog all the limelight.... was only a matter of time before they became a threat again......

 Last yr.... it was also

WL  47..... Evansville Memotial. 42

Just wondering if a trend is emerging???

Figures never lie........

As long as liars never figure.....  LoL

I'm with u....

The game is evolving..... becoming track meets .... check out Harrels yearly tourney scoring tab..... 1976 was the pinnacle of defense at 27pts flat.... now it's in the 50s.... mayb D no longer wins championships?

A zebra said both teams are big.. and very fast..... Jeff may hav a bit more speed.... whoever executes their O better wins this one?

Looks like LCC, probably the best 5-3 team in 1A, will play 4A Western in the crossover game next week.  Should be a nice gauge for determining LCC's run depth in tourney time.  Assuming LCC goes with minimal/no injuries this weekend, the game could be a really nice tune-up with excellent timing for the tourney ... culminating a schedule, that's already seen six 3A and two 2A, including two ranked 3A and a ranked 2A, with a 4A team at home.

Yes.... this game should b a good indication of just how far along the knights come in the savy dept.... if they can continue their upward trajectory... I like their chances in the tourney.....
