Believe Knox and NJ play week one. It will be a heck of a game with both teams expected to be good again. Knox wins those 2 games they probably stay undefeated until playoffs.
Tradionally they haven't been a good team until here lately. Radtke has that effect on programs. He almost instantly turns them into winners.
They are moving to a bigger conference next year with mostly 3a or 2a teams. Their current conference is mostly 1a or 2a schools but it's a pretty good small school conference. The Judson game is typically a terrible game to gauge them on with it being their rivalry.
Knox may play a perfect game and still get blown out in this game. I think the whole town realizes the uphill battle they face with playing the juggernaut of Chatard. Them trying to schedule a Merriville or Valpo (which i doubt the DAC schools would schedule them with them trying to prepare for the indy teams as well) wouldn't make that much of a difference for them. Except maybe cause a few more injuries and add a loss on their scheule.
Lots of sand bagging going on, guess neither side wants to give any bulletin board material.
Luers having a "down" year from their perspective but I still see them as the favorite to win this game. Luers 35-21
I think you are out here arguing with yourself on this game. There is one Knox poster in this group and he/she has only said that the team has to believe they can win in order to win.
I miss the old Judson/RC sectional matchups,It's weird seeing Judson in 1a and RC in 3a. Seemed like every year it was the sectional championship game.
