3A SS South Gibson Southern vs Tri-West
Uncle Rico replied to Titan32's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
So Tri West barely beat LCC 34-32 and people are surprised GS blew them out? -
Yep I saw that today. Can't believe it's been in place that long. Either way, I'm not a fan of it.

In year's past, Mater Dei would have been home this week for semi state. That's not the case this year because of this rule that was added: *If regional winner has not hosted either sectional final or regional, that school will be the designated host. Not sure that makes a lot of sense. It doesn't take travel time into consideration at all. Instead they have another 4 hour bus ride up north. Scecina's travel time has been much less.

Both of Wunderlich's parents are MD graduates

Let's take your freshman team argument from a few posts back. In the 2019-2020 school year, Mater Dei's freshman class was 128 students(right in line with other schools in the sectional except Linton who is a little smaller school). Linton's freshman class was 105. Assuming half of those are males, MD had a 64 kid pool to possibly play football and Linton had 52. So Mater Dei get's 25 + of those kids out playing football and Linton doesn't have enough to form a team(in your words). Numbers wise, there's not a big difference between the 2 schools class size wise. Isn't it part of the equation for a football head coach and program to get as many of those kids out playing football as possible?

What happens a lot is that there are kids that get the benefit of playing in Mater Dei feeder leagues and Mater Dei travel(all star) basketball teams, all the while knowing that they will be going to North Posey. So these kids not only get all the coaching resources, but they are probably blocking a kid that would otherwise make the team and attend Mater Dei. I'm just saying this stuff goes both ways.

Heritage Hills 12-0 at Lawrenceburg 11-1
Uncle Rico replied to DaveMosbey's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
My concern when I evaluate Lawrenceburg is their defense. I don't like that they gave up 35 points to Batesville. If you look back in recent seasons when they've had to play really good teams, their defenses just haven't been able to stop anyone. Because of this, Heritage Hills will control the line of scrimmage with the flexbone and keep the Tigers high powered offense off the field. I'm not a big believer in a sophomore quarterback being able to win a game like this either. I expect Heritage Hills to force several turnovers. Nothing against Lawerenceburg and they may prove me wrong, but I'm not going to bet on them until they do. I will say their stadium is one of the best venues I've ever been to. -

Heritage Hills 12-0 at Lawrenceburg 11-1

Heritage Hills will win this game easily. Book it. -
I get what you're saying in regards to Reitz and Castle. Maybe you don't have that one dominant big school team in it this year but in my opinion there were a lot more chances to actually lose a game this year. There have been years when Bosse, Harrison, North and Central were not very good. This year it was Harrison and maybe Bosse to a lesser extent. Reitz found themselves a bit the last 2 or 3 weeks of the season so they were not a terrible team either. Also, when you play that many solid teams I think there's a greater chance of injury. Castle cares more about their band than their football team. Still a tough place to play for teams that want to pass with the ridiculous crown on their field.

2A Regional: Mater Dei @ Triton Central
Uncle Rico replied to MDAlum82's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I'm not sure how the 2 teams stack up but they didn't do MD any favors with the early start time Saturday. -

With all due respect, John Harrell has no idea what he's talking about in regards to his predictions. -
SECTIONAL 40 ROUND 2
Uncle Rico replied to itiswhatitis's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I think Linton has played enough quality teams that strength of schedule shouldn't be a factor. Both teams are much improved from last year. Linton runs an offense that Mater Dei doesn't see too often and it'll be interesting to see if they can deal with it. This game will most likely be decided by the offensive and defensive lines, as most games are. -
SECTIONAL 40 ROUND 2
Uncle Rico replied to itiswhatitis's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I'm wondering how accurate Sagarin is now with the introduction of the running clock. Mater Dei drops after winning 56-0 against a team they could have probably beat 150-0. This should be a good game against 2 tradition rich and well coached teams.
