I’m sorry. But I have to dispute this. These haven’t been updated since post week 7 so forgive me but Rode’s name is not on either of these lists so how exactly is he “easy” RB1 choice for all-city team? 

look at the games played, look at the numbers

Eye Test All-City Team: Just City schools, any thoughts?

QB -Wagner Bosse

RB- Weird year no one stands out?

WR-Tomlinson Bosse

WR-Vera Jr Reitz

Wr-Summers Reitz

Tackles-Dixon North

Boeke-Reitz

Guards-Jones Memorial

Griffin-Bosse

Center-Davis North

 

Extra skill Esperman Memorial 

 

 

easy--RB1: Rode, MHS

good to see the article last weekend on the MHS/Reitz game.  The courier sees whats going on.  Character counts!

While Memorial has certainly been a really good tournament team, I think sometimes people overlook the Tigers regular season successes. Only 12 regular season loses dating back to 2016 season.  Averaging less than 2 losses per regular season over last 7 years. But I do agree about the coaches. They find a way to elevate the kids to a different mode come tournament time. 
 

ERMHS has been dominate for some time...

funny how ermhs is up a class but could have won another title by going up two!

Yeah, if SIAC coaches have a bias against Memorial, it certainly doesn’t show up in the selections.  So I’m just not buying that.

I do think it’s probably safe to assume that he didn’t get any support from Zirkelbach - who is a Memorial grad.

I don’t know what led to him being left off.  I just think he got snubbed…happens to kids every year, really.  Probably some kids from other schools who also deserved to be recognized.

seems to mostly happen to ermhs kids

Pierre - 13 games, 1015 yds, 5.4 ypc, 78.1 ypg, 12 TD

Johnson - 10 games, 751 yds, 6.2 ypc, 75.1 ypg, 4 TD

Rode - 11 games, 1123 yds, 6.2 ypc, 102.1 ypg, 13 TDs

sometimes, you pay a price for the big blue "M" on your chest

I’m a bit of a homer, and I realize he missed 2 games.  But I think Porter Rode got screwed by not being 2nd team.

RODE was a force.  what are his numbers compared to the other rbs?

But they did contend for a pretend semi state title this past weekend! How did your game turn out @Thornton Melon?

only respect!  did castle or md face athletes or coaching anywhere else like this?  They are smart, took expereinces and made it positive.  everyone likes an underdog on a post season run.  its nice to see others fans enjoy it.

md beat north, jasper and castle.  funny how mhs beat the two semi teams

Md jump out to a big lead, but Linton hangs four touchdowns and outscores MD the rest of the game.  be interesting to see if they can slow down andrean

Memorial and Linton have never played in Football.  Memorial did play Cathedral in the 1920's and 30's.  

Memorial looks for big games

I’m pretty sure Memorial would be back in 3A this year, if they didn’t win the Regional last year. Would’ve have been fun seeing an GS/Memorial matchup this season. Lots of questions regarding Memorial next year as the trenches will be hit massively, but it seems like they will be reloaded for the 2024 season.

dont get comfortable at 3A!  ermhs will only spend two years there.

Oh, my bad. Let me rephrase. I'd love to see the trophy anyone actually cares about from the week 4 and 9 wins.

playing up a class is tough

once again, ermhs is minamiazed by all siac schedule

I’m not an SIAC historian but I’m not sure there’s been many runs like the one the Tigers are on. 

2016 sectional 

2017 state 

2018 semi state 

2019 state 

2021 regional 

2022 sectional …. TBD 

it is time to take a look at strengthening ERMHS schedule.  on a year by year basis, take a look at the top 2-3 teams at the  SIAC and leave them on the schedule.  take the rest of your schedule and get tough teams from out of town.  this would be good for indiana football and raise the profile of the siac.  

i think that we can all agree on the fact the boonville is lucky to move on against the all star team

Fair lol

im really not trying to come at you…but I don’t want to be told to stop commenting for talking about how things have played out ya know? 
 

i just find it really interesting that the last 2 years the “best” SIAC team might have not been the actual best when it comes to winning in the postseason.  If I have learned anything these last 6/7 years…it’s that memorial is a different animal in the playoffs and the regular season doesn’t mean too much 

totally agree.  those who dont are not paying attention.

there is the regular season and there is the real season.  look at the scorebored
