Hey Hey. Good thread so far. We are pretty hyped about the trek across 30 over to Valpo tomorrow. They tell me the Saints are a 3 TD underdog in this one. If accurate, this is uncharted territory, but I don't buy it. I would take BD to cover and also take the under in this one. They have seen 3 fairly high powered offenses this year that each had a higher PPG average. And none of them came close to scoring 3 TD's on the first team Dwenger defense. However, I am always open to opposing opinions if someone wants to share their thoughts on why this week will be different. Can't guarantee a Saints victory, but the Vikings better have their chinstraps on tight because they will be challenged.
GO BDHS!
Where are people getting their information, 3TD underdogs? Not likely, not even sure they are the underdog, depends on which part of the state you ask. Should be a great ball game.

No doubt, we have played 2 outstanding games up there vs Andrean, our kids loved the opportunity and looking forward to another dance in 2020, maybe we will get to host them instead!!
Looking forward to watching the game Friday night. Really is a great matchup of 2 tradition riched schools, great schemes, contrasting styles.
Panther faithful will have that place rocking!!
I went to North Newton in the late 80's, Rensselaer was easily our favorite game of the year. Have been glad to see that NN has been somewhat competitive the last few years, looking up.

I can attest having more 1st down, rushing yards, total yards doesn't mean you win......
That is tough coach, did everything but win the scoreboard.

Good luck to the Saints! I've got Valpo by 7. I haven't seen Valpo play, I'm just buying into the hype. They have a good win against Merrillville and they seem to have carried their success over from last year. They've won 22 of their last 23.........only loss being to Carmel by 4. But Dwenger might be the toughest team they've seen in the last two years.
If you wouldn't mind being a bit more detailed about the "hype"? Also, if Dwenger (might be toughest team they've seen in last two years.) is better than last years Carmel squad, how do you not have them favored? Find your statement somewhat contradictory.

Special “region flavored” kool-aid?
Sweet, where can we pick up some of that?

Agree that this could be closer than many are expecting. Also love the It's Always Sunny reference.
Merrillville is a good football team. They have the talent to hang around, but I am not sure if they have the discipline. So far they have been able to overcome penalties and turnovers, that will not be the case on Friday. They will need to play a clean game for 4 quarters, something they haven't put together just yet.

I have not watched any of Carmel's games this year, but, would you say they are better than they were last year?

Does anyone know when the IHSAA could step in and move a game due to poor field conditions?
There are a few great fields within 20 miles of MHS that have turf
No, I don't know the answer, but I think Penn has a real nice field they won't be using for a while......😀

Warsaw ran 56 offensvie plays tonight... all rushing... for 417 yards.
Yes, their execution was outstanding. Congrats to you and good luck with Merrillville.

Correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't the coaches vote down the possibility of seeding the top 2 teams for sectionals?

I think he can and already has honestly. Last year the Tigers held the lead over Penn at halftime last year 7-3 and battled the entire game before losing 16-7. I just hope we don't see a let down like earlier in the season heading into the Plymouth game. IMO - heads were swelled and egos boosted after the win at Michigan City, only for the Tigers to come out flat in the 1st half against the Rockies and have to playing from behind the entire game. That's difficult to do with Bart Ball, and Warsaw just ran out of time playing catch up.
Penn's defense is very good. Warsaw may have to learn how to throw the ball. This game has a chance to be very low scoring, may be decided by whomever makes the fewest mistakes.

Valpo is currently #2 in 5A and could be top 5 regardless of class. They are much improved over last years team that lost to Carmel 14-10. Merrillville barely losing to Valpo this year tells me the pirates are pretty good.
Merrillville is a good football team, balanced and very talented. Their main issue is self inflicted mistakes. If they can reduce the number of turnovers and penalties, they may have a shot. I would like to see them play clean game, just hasn't happened.

I don’t see enough from that end zone view to call PI. Looked like 2 guys jockeying for position on a jump ball, and the superior athlete was able to high point the ball. But the IBB should not have been called. A Valpo player ran into the “blocker,” and when he fell forward, he hit another Valpo kid in the back. That’s why you have to see the whole play before you call that foul.
Would an official ever call something because another official didn't make a call? I have never officiated football and envy those that do, just more curious i guess.

I found a Jeremiah Howard 2019 highlite clip on HUDL. The 32 second mark has the infamous last minute play against Valpo when a block in the back 10-20 yards away from the play nullified a game winning TD for Merrillville.
looks like offensive PI to me.
Was definitely an offensive PI that wasn't called, I still am unsure about that block in the back though. Howard is the real deal. Merrillville can win this game, but have to stay away from mistakes, they gave Valpo that win. This will be a fun game to watch, for sure.
