    Evil Czech Brewery is a good one in Mishawaka and Crooked Ewe Brewery in South Bend is delicious too. Both less than 10 minutes away to Marian. 

    I think I remember Evil Czech being mentioned last year when BCHS traveled up there.  Might have to give it a whirl this time.  Thanks!

    42-14 prediction?  Wow.  I'd say Chatard is a favorite, no doubt.  But 28 points?  Whoa.

    I was shocked to see this, as well.

    Yeah, it would be a lot more doable if the Colts didn't have a home game Sunday.

    It's already super tight playing at noon, ~3:30, and ~7. It seems like with the medal and trophy presentations, the last game of the day doesn't start until 8 or so.

    It's a huge cluster getting fans in and out as it is - I can't imagine how long it would take to clear the place and sanitize.

    State Contenders...Any Darkhorses?

    6A spoiler:

    North:  Warsaw.  As the weather gets colder, they get stronger.

    5A Spoiler:

    North: Ft. Wayne North - One of the best QBs in the state and with a couple big breaks, they can beat Dwenger.

    South: Whiteland & Floyd Central - Whiteland is quietly 7-1 and Floyd Central has a couple of D1 kids if I'm not mistaken.  I think we learn a lot about the Indianapolis Traveling Catholic All-Stars tomorrow night and if anyone can beat them in 5A

    4A Spoiler:

    North: Hobart - Their 5-2 record is misleading.  This is a good football team

    South: Boonville - really just a gut feeling

     Silver Creek - Always seems like they have a good record but can they make some noise this year?

    3A Spoiler:

    North: North Montgomery - They could easily make it to the sectional championship and then have a shot at West Laf or Chatard

    South: Gibson Southern - not as hype around them this year so the expectations are not through the roof. 

    Indian Creek - the Center Grove transfer running back they have is very, very good

     

    I have nothing for 1A or 2A

     

    I dunno, I think Brebeuf is quite good. I think Brebeuf will give Bishop Chatard or WL all they can handle

    Well....let’s bring up the uncomfortable conversation many here don’t want to have.  Excuse me from droning on...and on...and on.  

    And on.   

    I, literally, see all these different schools (posters) beating their chests about all their great D1 players.  It’s been truly tiresome for years for me to read this....since there is no greater TEAM sport than football.  Some of you folks simply won’t shut up about them.  

    Apparently we have the next Peyton Manning in Indiana as well.

    Admittedly, reading the Indiana HS Football Facebook page (some friends recently...and, unfortunately, pointed me towards....and since then I have dropped several levels of IQ after reading) I saw more than a few posting that Merrillville had 12 plus D1 players (or those being recruited).

    At least here, I only saw “at least” 5 D1 players mentioned.

    On that same Facebook page, I saw the remark that Chatard had the “best team money can ”buy””....I think, ironically, from a Mt. Vernon Mom (Geist privilege....and a stolen Greenfield QB...).  Geist folks (HSE and Mt. Vernon) vs. self-awareness are literally matter vs. antimatter....those generally rotund and non-working Mom’s and their personal trainers exist in a totally Independent universe....admittedly a wealthy one.  They are, still, between their Pilates classes, very knowledgeable about Football in archdiocese schools...just ask them.

    They have important and well-informed opinions.

    I’d have hoped Chatard could have “bought” at least 1 (Dammit, we tried....just 1) Division 1 player...somehow they failed.  Neither did they steal their QB from a neighboring school.  

    Well,  since Chatard doesn’t have a single D1 or even D2 player this year apparently Chatard is as cheap a date as I used to be but is ANYONE willing to recognize that football is a team sport and not about how many D1 players you can acquire?

    Is ANY game more evident of the importance of that than the Chatard/Merrillville game?

    THIS is what those many tiny, tiny CYO 18 player teams are all about. 

    Let’s be clear, Merrillville was a total and absolute class act from everything that I saw.  I absolutely hope they kick the sh!t out of everyone from the North in 6A.  Great kids from all I could see.  But, if they got anything out of Friday night I hope they got that it’s ALL about team.

    ....and, yes,....a small Catholic school full of underdogs and undersized players can kick your rear end....and maybe even be one of the best 5-6 teams in the State.

    By all accounts, they were last year as well.

    Really, really tired about all these D1 players everyone seems to have.

    Whenever my friends with kids at Fishers (or LN... or Danville... or Noblesville...) open their mouths about Crootin Cath'lics for the X^1,000,000th time, I won't need to respond any longer. I'll just show them this post.

     

    Thank you, @Lysander.
