Good game Pats. Representing the PAC and SW Indiana well!

Yoon could have played all game and HH stills win. Nuff said.

Ok so first foremost, the better team win last night at the SR vs HH game.  But that field was bad.  Jets was right about something here......

linton's schedule is a lot weaker this year...in my opinion...except southridge and North Knox...

 

North Vermillion's only loss is  to Linton and they went to state last year.  I would say that is a solid opponent.  And they played Sullivan, who beat your team btw.  

Why is the curiously "odd" to you to have SR and SS guys posting on this thread?  SS was in 40, and SR until this year when bumped up for success factor.

Dont anyone look past Bosse. Dont let the record fool you. I have seen them play a couple times and their D is better than any of the other three teams in there half of the bracket. The Madison kid is a beast on both sides of the ball.

What was that about Bosse's D???

HH over Corydon.  GS over Salem.  Southridge over Mt. Vernon.  Bosse over N. Harrison.

HH @ GS.  I'll take HH again but GS will be much closer this time.    

Southridge @ Bosse.  Bulldogs in the upset. 

HH over Bosse.  Bosse is 2-3 players away from beating a team like HH.  Patriots will wear them down.

_____________

@PAC FAN  - GS is on the marquee, but winning state and being runner-up (and beating 2 Indy p/p along the way) makes Memorial the headliner of the show in 3A South.

If Bosse was 2 players away from beating HH, I'm guessing you meant they need Tom Brady and Julian Edelman? Were those the two you were talking about?

Anyone predict SR to have a running clock against Mt Vernon? Or GS-Salem tied at half?

Southridge broadcasters list Forest Park up 6-0 at the half vs Tell City.

Sectional 32 is going to be a bruiser. Whoever wins has a legit shot at going to state. HH has the upper hand based off season results,  but it's hard to beat a team twice, especially GS. 

GS 22 - SR 21 went for 2 for the win.

SR 21 - GS 14

4 minutes left

Southridge 21 - GS 7

5 minutes left. 

SR up 21-7. Under 8 to go in 4th and moving the ball near midfield now.

Hmm kind of prooves my point a little bit one is a lineman and the other two play in the wide open pro style offense that mix it up between the run and pass.

Speaking of proving points, Cutler ran what offense at HH before being a starting QB in the NFL?  Oh yes, the BONE!

^^^^^^^^^^^^Bosse is not the best defense in the bottom half.  I'll take SR over Bosse in round 2.  GS will be tested all they want vs Salem.  Salem has 3 losses to Silver Creek(4a 7-1), B'town Central(3a 8-0), and Charlestown(3a 6-2).  It looks like there were in the game with BC and C'town, spread was a little further apart vs SC.  I still expect GS to win, and may even beat them handily, but roadtripping to Salem wont be a cakewalk by any means IMO.  I still expect GS vs HH in the top half, and HH is playing good ball, but its hard to beat a team twice, which was the case last season for HH, although this team is senior laden and I believe will get past GS once more this season.

Good win for the Patriots. Sigler is fast, fast, fast. First half was fun, second half not so much! 

I believe that putting Jasper behind GS is looking at the body of work each team has done.  Jasper has done nothing yet to this point to warrant being ahead of GS.  On the flip-side, GS hasn't officially done anything to put themselves ahead of Jasper yet other than having a better record currently, so at this point, its just one man's opinion with his top 10 rankings.

McMahon and Payton, and Dent on D.  I'll take DA BEARS!  I'm going to have to fire up the old system tonight and play as the Falcons.  Wife and kids are busy this evening giving me some Tecmo time!

Enough talk of  Tecmo bowl, back to top SW10.

MD would have won the years we were up in 3A (2003, 2004, and 2005). So what's your point? I would wipe the floor with Southridge and every other team in Indiana on tecmo super bowl.  Just IMO.

Gimme the Bears and lets tango on Tecmo Bowl.  Run 1, Run 2, Pass 1, Pass 2.  That playbook was a killer!

Colson Montgomery - Southridge:

Arguably one of the best athletes/quarterbacks in the state. Lost him to Baseball and Basketball. One of the few athletes that is almost "Too Good" to play Football.

I don't have an issue with Colson dropping football with whats at stake for him.  He has top tier NCAA baseball coaches drooling over him wanting him to come play baseball and most colleges have said we will let him play basketball too.  Heck, he may never go to college because he may end up being drafted so high it makes sense to go straight to the pros(Minors).  He is still a multi-sport athlete.  I just dont like seeing kids only play one sport to specialize.

You guys are showing calpreps this calpreps that...but look at this.

this years team is only 4 points better than last years team according to the computer....which is malarkey imo. 

 

This teams defense has really stepped up and is pretty fast. The 2015 team with klem is the only team I would argue had a better defense. In terms of offense...this year it’s really special.  In years past running the up tempo, GS almost struggled to drive the ball down the field. It was largely chunk plays and there were plenty of times where you could get GS to a 3 and out. It’s the downfall of up tempo. If you get stalled, you just give the ball right back and the other team can eat up clock. It’s been the gameplan of other teams.....but this years team there are simply so many weapons and they have shown that they will drive the ball down the field if you stop the big plays.  It’s truly something different this year. 

Between delong butler and May at WR, any of those 3 could go for well over 100 yards on a given night. Butler can play RB in place of Spindler...Spindler has really stepped up as a pass catching RB too. This last week we seen a new wrinkle of using the TE a lot more.  The OL is also improved over last year in that they are picking up blitzes better and playing smarter.

This is all without even factoring in Allen who spent all off season training at camps and going to 7on7s and is playing like a true upperclassman.

 

all in all, the computer projections can say whatever but it simply isn’t as accurate as it should be to speculate like we want to.  This year’s GS team is much better than just a 4 point spread over last years and that’s a testimony to how much these returning players have worked to get better. 

 

Speculate all you want about memorial vs GS but it’s pointless. I think what we really need to be talking about is this matchup in 2 weeks in the jungle.  Last year Heritage Hills smacked GS bad and handed them a 31-7 loss. After the game, Coach Hart was very upset and said on the radio broadcast “whatever it takes, I’m going to find 11 kids who want to play titan football”. Heritage Hills has returned a ton of their team and are locked and loaded.  

 

Memorial Vs GS is for the birds

 

GIbson Southern @ Heritage Hills is the game we need to talk about. And imo I would probably rank them 1A 1B in this ranking.  

I dont put much stock into Calpreps predictor after it said that 2019 SR is better than 2018 SR.  You lose Montgomery at QB, and lose Schank at RB and a few others, i'm not buying into it.  Now I love our Raiders, but lets be honest with ourselvesthe 17 and 18 teams were better....especially when its a 14 point difference.  Now I still think we have a heck of a team but just being honest with myself.

PROJECT A MATCHUP
neutral field
[2019] Southridge (Huntingburg, IN) 31, [2018] Southridge (Huntingburg, IN) 17

Unless I miscounted, MD is 8-6 against Southridge as far back as 94....which is closer to two decades, but that's just how far back Harrell's site goes.  

SR was bumped to 3A for 2 years due to enrollment and now two years for Success factor.  I do believe SR would have taken care of business against MD the two years we were up.  Just IMO. 

32 is loaded now, add in Memorial and you have filthy loaded sectional.  Had Memorial not made the jump to 4A this sectional would be the #4, 7, 8, and 10 Sag teams.  Of course if Memorial didn't have to make the jump that means the rules changed and SR would have not jumped to 3A.

32, my reply was towards Screagle and shakedown, not you.  They brought up the last 3 years and then posted the calpreps matchup...

Road Runner is correct, easy week to pick IMO.

Patriots

Rangers

Titans

Raiders

Marksmen
