A backup kid scoring a 1 yard TD with a minute to go in a 2 score game is not lack of class in my opinion but if that’s your opinion so be it. Also Tipton was missing as many or more starters last night than LCC. LCC was missing mostly freshman and a couple sophomores. 

I’m curious with Central Catholic missing so many starters, will Tipton put an asterisk next to the score on the headstone in the grave yard? I believe they should!

When that happened I said to myself "Coach Tolle must have a spread bet in and that missed Extra Point was going to cost him. The excuse I was given is the kid is a senior who never plays. Thank God For Max Preps. The Kid has 128 total rushing yards on and season and scored TD in 2 other games. So that's a LOAD of BS. There is a difference in having injuries and having starters pulled from school on Friday thrusting JV Kids into starting varsity roles. Or regular one way starters into 2 way starters day of. 


 

It would seem only fitting that Central Catholic and Tipton play in the Week 9 crossover. Let’s settle this dispute on the field. Tipton varsity vs Central Catholic’s varsity.

Whiting needs to be playing too! Let’s get them back as well!

Who was the last Region team to win a state championship in football?

Twin Lakes out for next two weeks at least.  Hate this dang virus.

So how does this work? If Twin Lakes is out of school for 10 days does that mean absolutely no practices either? If so then there is no way they can play this Friday or next Friday the way I see it. So how did Seeger get to play? Were they out for several days too? Trying to figure this all out. Thanks

You must’ve missed the fact that they will be rebuilding this year.  Unless they have another QB like #7, they won’t be near the threat they have been.

Actually I did not miss the fact pertaining to Western Boone QB graduating. I’m just saying in my opinion they will be preseason Class 2A #1 heading into the start of the season based on being state champions last year and last two years. Yes they lose a very good quarterback, but they are a well coached program who will have another quality young man waiting in the wings. If my memory serves me correctly they had a pretty good defense last year too. They won the state game 44-7. Eastbrook can possibly be #2.

Eastbrook should be at the top of any 2A top ten list!  Andrean has a good squad, but they should have to prove they can beat Eastbrook to be ranked higher than the Panthers.

I think Western Boone should be ranked at the top of any 2A top ten lists until someone proves they can beat them. Two time defending state champs. They are at the top of the mountain til proven otherwise.

It was a great interview, but I actually like this one better. Chris and Nathan really calls him out. https://www.regionsports.com/2020/06/09/football-four-down-territory-6-5-20/

the OT from Mt Carmel was there last year but hurt his shoulder in summer session and was out for the entire year, but he has been at Andrean now going on 2nd year 

I see a theme there of 3 of the 4 teams receiving "transfers"   

I stopped caring about where kids are going to school long ago.   

Look forward to the challenge of attempting to knock off the 59ers, last year was quite the track meet  

Correct me if I’m wrong but with Andrean’s dramatic drop in enrollment all the way down to 414 students, could they be eyeballing 1A football in the near future?

I am curious how basketball is not considered a higher risk sport in terms of likelihood of transmission. Seems to be a lot of close contact in that sport. There is the constant defensive pressure where two guys are in each other’s face. For every shot you have several players converging making physical contact trying to gather the rebound. Not saying football shouldn’t be in the higher risk category, but in my eyes basketball seems to be just as risky.

Don't think so...

Actually it is. No electronic noise makers are allowed. Unless that cowbell is attached to an extension cord, you are good to go .

Andrean is perhaps the best team that can be recruited/assembled in that area at the 2A level, not necessarily the best team money $$ can buy though.  I'm very much pulling for Eastbrook, the CIC needs to avenge the Frankton loss against Andrean in Semi-State basketball 8 months ago.  I haven't looked at enrollment figures lately, but I'd imagine that Andrean is just a handful of kids away from being 3A in football?

I believe their enrollment was 414. About 120 students from 3A.

Andrean 36   Cass 14 with 7 minutes to go

Andrean up 36-14. 7 minutes to go

I know for a fact that this man hasn't been the kindest to us, and even predicted us losing to teams we dominated this year, so sometimes he does seem out of touch...

You might be correct on that statement but he did have you guys losing to Andrean in the sectional semi-finals and even had you guys scoring some point 35-14. In reality the score was 27-0 Andrean won and you only had 100 yards of offense. So in this particular prediction he gave you too much credit thinking you guys would score twice. I guess he does make a mistake or two in his predictions 👌https://www.usa-365.com/Mr_Picker_Week_11_Football_Picks_10-28-2019.htm

I believe Andrean wins this game too. Andrean 35   Cass 28

According to Mark Smith who is usually pretty accurate, Cass might be in some trouble!   https://www.usa-365.com/Mr_Picker_Week_13_Football_Picks_11-11-2019.htm

Never said anything about controlling what other teams do.  Just said SOS.  Anderan's was much better and why I picked them.  It's one thing to play bigger enrollment schools, but when they don't have very good programs, it doesn't help your team much other than to say you beat a bigger school.  I've looked at BG's schedule like I do a LOT of teams in all classes.  I check the Sags every week as well.  I don't pick a team to win "just because".  The team I support is Linton and have for 25 years.  I didn't pick them against Mater Dei just because I support them.  Did I want them to win?  Of course, but even though the two teams were close in the Sagarin Ratings, I picked Mater Dei due to their SOS being a lot better than Linton's.

Then I read about the amazing stats being put up by their skill players and an article about The Pancake Posse (thttps://www.nwitimes.com/sports/high-school/football/football-notes-it-all-starts-up-front-for-boone-grove/article_f6365a82-4fb5-5ae8-b3f9-5e4a4751999c.html thinking this team might make a serious run at LOS. Schedule being changed in near future? 

I just saw on the Hoosier Conference thread that Boone Grove had a total of 101 yards of offense. That peeked my interest so I looked more closely at the individual stats. #13 Vann who I had heard so much about had 11 carries for 35 yds and the QB Mayersky had 7 carries for -9 yds and was 3-9 passing for 26 yds. This was supposed to be the game of the week in the region. What happened??? Sounds like Andrean took them to the wood shed. Any insight on the game Graphic Context?
