👀👀 Holy cow, that's honestly incredible. I think Green is vastly underrated if he only has one offer.

Carroll (DB) to Cincy Curry (DL) to anywhere he wants lol Biddings (DL) to Louisville Schott (DL) to Michigan State Jackson (QB) to Tennessee Evans (Skill) to IU (PWO) @Groverwho else am I missing? I assume there's a few potential FCS guys on the roster.

Not sure they've decided yet! Absolutely, lots of good players and coaches in the area!

Greenwood Christian Academy is starting a program in the next several years. They're really good across all sports at the 1A level and gives Johnson County kids a private-school alternative to Roncalli.

Evil Czech Brewery in Mishawaka is always a good eat. La Hacienda is really good Mexican food as well. Other Northern Indiana people may be able to chime in more.

Spreads according to John Harrell Carmel @ Brownsburg (-1) Ben Davis (-32) @ Tech LN (-4) @ LC Columbus North @ CG (-28) Two super intriguing contests, two snoozer contests. Predictions: Bburg: 21 Carmel: 14 Ben Davis: 56 Tech: 7 LC: 21 LN: 17 CG: 42 CN: 14

Not surprising to me as well. I watched Zville play Bburg, and the Eagles definitely held their own, especially defensively. The final score was only 19-6. Price, their RB, is an unreal RB and their OL is a bunch of maulers, led by a Notre Dame recruit. Other than Zionsville's games against HSE & Westfield (top 5 teams in 6A), they held their own and probably should have beaten FC & Fishers. They're a legit ball-club who will be ready to make another run to LOS.

Thank you for ignoring my Pike/Bburg prediction, even though it was only 21-0 entering the 4th quarter before the wheels fell off for Pike. But LC has been a fun team to follow the last 4-5 weeks. Led BD at the half, stifled Carmel for 4 quarters (had 3 INTs), and then somehow pulled off a W against a team they lost to by 35 points earlier in the season. Either way, a new team gets to say they won a sectional for the first time in a while (LN or LC). LC is looking for their first sectional since 2012 and looking for only their 7th sectional title overall. LN is looking for their first sectional since 1990 and looking for only their 4th sectional title overall. That game is going to be an incredible atmosphere.

Haha! Just a lucky prediction. Like @Lysanderalways says, EC goes underappreciated through the vast majority of the state. Only Roncalli, Chatard, and SE Indiana know how elite EC is year in and year out. There are going to be some juicy match-ups next week and in the regional, starting with Chatard/Roncalli & Memorial/Northview. I'm incredibly bullish on Roncalli & their coaching staff, but man, it's hard to beat a really solid Chatard team twice in the same year. You know Doyle has had to have Roncalli-specific periods built into practice these last 4 weeks, due to the nature of Chatard's opponents to end the season. It'll be a dog-fight & I wouldn't be shocked whatsoever to see Chatard pull off the W.

Oh absolutely. You're spot-on there. There's a reason why Noblesville put up 500+ rushing yards against them MV QB has been slinging it with the best of the them this year, albeit against a pretty down HHC. I just think Roncalli's main deficiency is in their pass defense and Chatard & MV are going to exploit it these next two weeks.

Ben Davis: Pick their score Southport: 0 Carmel: 42 Avon: 28 Brownsburg: 17 Pike: 10 LN: 42 NC: 0 Warren: 28 LC: 24 I really think Avon & Pike will push Carmel & Brownsburg through most of the game. And I honestly would not be shocked to see Pike defeat Brownsburg. NC has unfortunately cashed it in & they are ready for basketball season. LN rolls. I think the Warren & LC game could be one of the best games of the night! LC has vastly improved each game they've played this year.

If it's as rainy as expected, the edge 100% goes to EC. They can ground & pound, and do a really good job of being physical against the run, defensively. I think one team that has been under the radar in 4A is Mt. Vernon. They gave up 57 to a unique offense in Noblesville but they've been dominant in the HHC this year. (I know they're ranked 4th in the polls but almost no one is giving them a chance to beat the Royals.) Roncalli struggles mightily against good passing offenses and Mt. Vernon's big-time pass game could give Roncalli fits.

I've watched several EC & Mooresville games this year, and I think EC wins this one by 1 or 2 TD's. EC forced Roncalli's players to make some incredibly contested catches in the pass game. And EC's offense was wildly impressive compared to years past & hit some major explosive passes on Roncalli as well. Mooresville's offense is really dang good as well but I think EC forces a key stop or two in the first half, and keeps Mopi at arm's reach throughout the game. The weather is going to be the ultimate factor though.

I believe Columbus East won 96 consecutive Hoosier Hills games from 2006 until their loss against Seymour this year. @Olympian06may be able to give more specifics

Can confirm. I believe both schools are on their 2-week Fall Break during this time.

In 2016, Cathedral (a 6A Sectional winner that year) did lose to a 4-6 Brebeuf team lol. After having seen both teams, I do think it'll be somewhat competitive for a half and the Irish end up pulling away around the lines of 35-14.

This is the 1st time I've heard a proposal like this and I absolutely love it. Combine with the sectional you'd play in regionals, and seed it 1-4. New & fun matchups almost every year!

Agreed. At least in 6A North, there can be at least some intrigue. Who wins Sectional 4 (HSE, Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville) and Sectional 3 (Warsaw, Homestead, Carroll)? Sectional 1 & 2 have heavy favorites with Merrillville & Chesterton, but maybe Penn & Laf Jeff can cause a massive upset? South 6A is so predictable & boring. There's two sectionals with two-team races: Sectional 5: Carmel & Bburg & Sectional 7: LN & WC. BD & CG will easily win their sectionals.

I totally mis-read that, long week lol. Absolutely! I 100% hope they do. I really hope a DAC school breaks through to LOS, need ALL corners of the state represented Thanksgiving Weekend.

For you Region fans, what makes you think that a DAC team would beat CG or Cathedral, when other loaded 6A teams haven't beaten those two programs in 1.5 years? If other elite Indy area programs can't beat CG or Cathedral, I have a hard time believing a DAC team could do it.

Center Grove & Carmel going to the HCC very soon....Trickle down effect from there.

MIC slappy but you're absolutely correct. I honestly think the HCC, top to bottom, is vastly better than the MIC, top to bottom. I would argue only Westfield & Brownsburg could play with the top 4 of the MIC; I don't see HSE, FC, Zville, or Fishers playing close against the top 4 of the MIC. HCC Power Rankings (Can definitely re-arrange 4-6) 1. Westfield 2. Brownsburg 3. HSE 4. FC 5. Zionsville 6. Fishers 7. Noblesville 8. Avon MIC Power Rankings 1. CG 2. Carmel 3. WC 4. Ben Davis 5. LN 6. LC 7. Pike 8. NC

How good are the tournament chances looking for Mishawaka, Concord, Northwood, Northridge, and Warsaw? I figure those 5 teams would be able to make a good amount of noise come October & November.

May be a Roncalli fan but it's a CG parent 👀

I am definitely one of those people who loves checking out the NLC but not adding anything to this thread. I'll definitely start contributing in these next few weeks. I'm an Indy guy but I do have some connections in the Michiana area and I think the NLC is an incredibly underrated conference state-wide.
