    Chatard vs Knox Semi-state

    in The Indiana High School Football Forum

    Posted

    It will be fun to see what Myles Mclaughlin accomplishes in the next 2 years. Only a sophomore now I think the sky is the limit for him. Kiser from Pioneer plays for Notre Dame and I think Mclaughlin will have some major opportunities at the next level. It will also be great to see Chatard move up and play some more evenly matched teams next year. No disrespect but I'll never understand indiana and illinois private schools playing in these smaller divisions. 

    Chatard vs Knox Semi-state

    To start this off I graduated from Knox, I now live near Columbus Ohio. So proud of these kids this is something the Knox community has always wanted and deserved. It's definitely hard to compare these two schools. I have watched Chatard be a top contender for state titles my entire life and decades prior. 13 state championships and 18 appearances I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). This is Knox's 3rd sectional title ever, 1st regional ever and 1st semi state game ever. Chatard may have every upper hand possible but, there is something to be said about the will of a group trying to make history. There is something to said about the hungrier team. Lastly there is something to be said about having the best athlete on the field and Myles Mclaughlin is definitely the best player on the field tonight. 

    Goodluck to my Redskins!

    4A Semi State Hobart at East Noble

    Ok, we can agree to disagree on that.  I have another question for you.

    I would like to know about the Hobart Offense.  The offense clearly wants to run the ball and control the clock.  East Noble has defended the run great this season, so what's the plan if they can't run the ball or they go down by 2 scores?  They've thrown 20 passes total in the playoffs, which tells me 2 things.

    1. They didn't need to throw because they had a lead/tied/only a one score game.

    2. They aren't comfortable throwing.

    Example: New Prairie had 8 guys in the box and played cover 0 for basically the entire game, and Hobart continued to run the ball.  If that look doesn't scream, "We dare you to throw", I don't know what does.  The one passing TD to #4 was after a timeout, which was a great call by the coaching staff.  But when forced into must throw situations, the offense was bailed out by New Prairie penalties. 

    Hobart is a run first offense but by no means a run only offense. Johnson has thrown for over 1000 yards. They have one of the best Wrs in our area in Zach Vode. The Hobart passing also has Matthew Benton and Tyler Schultz heavily involved. The Brickie offense definitely would give the impression on paper of a stop the run and win type situation but they are not. You can really see the offensive passing power of them grow over the season on film. In my opinion Hobart's offense is gonna suprise you with how balanced they are. As far as Np goes they were not bailed out, hobart's wrs beat NPs dbs and were tackled clear pass interference calls are not bail outs. But Hobart can throw the ball and have a solid passing game there run game is so good they havent needed as much.

    What do Merrillville and Morton have in common with EN? All of them are spread teams that can throw the ball.  Also, Merrillville and Morton both scored 21 points.  EN is definitely better than Morton, and I don't know about Merrillville. And to Hobart's credit, the Merrillville game might have a different outcome now because that was week 2 which was 3 months ago.

     

    To answer your question, I think EN hits some quick passes and Parker will scramble and hit an open guy if he is pressured.  Hobart will have to be selective when they bring pressures because EN can and will hurt them.  Hobart's coaching staff is great, so I'm sure they will have a plan.  I just like the matchup vs the secondary because of the WRs and QB at EN.

    As far as Morton goes they scored 7 with our varsity d on the field on a short field and jojo johnson D1 talent made a big play the other 14 were against jv with Hobart up by 30+ points and Merrillville is much better than East Noble they are in the 6A semi state. I sound like a broken record here Bailey will not be able to scramble in this game. Bailey is gonna turn the ball over in this game he will fumble or throw ints most likely both. I think everyone is overestimating his abilities. Just about our entire defense is faster than him. For sure all 4 of our lbs would beat him in a 40 yard dash.

    They look really small on Google Maps. I’m seeing about 6 rows stretching between the 20’s. I would be surprised if Hobart’s side isn’t overflow. 

    I'm thinking hobart will overflow for sure and possibly East Noble too both communities are doing right by the students really putting in a great effort on both sides to make this a special event.

    The only way Hobart wins by 17 is if the Knights turn the ball over 3+ times.  East Noble will be able to overcome one mistake in this game, but not 2 or 3. 

    I agree with you that Parker won't beat the Brickies with his legs, but his arm is another story.  The Hobart run defense is the truth.  What they did to New Prairie and Lowell speaks to that. So, I see the Knights trying to throw first and run second to mix it up.  The front 7 are very impressive, and the secondary are great run support players.  However, I was not impressed with the secondary in space or in coverage against spread teams.  East Noble will be able to score tonight, but like I said, it comes down to mistakes.  

     

    East Noble 28

    Hobart 20

    Mathew Benton leads the state in Interceptions with 11. Vode one of the best WRs 6'3" 190 faster than any East Noble Wr plays safety. Hobart's 4 LBs one of the fastest and best cores in the state. Hobarts defense stops everything. Jojo Johnson from Morton is a D1 WR, Glass from Merrillville D1 WR, they have seen better guys. I dont think Parker is gonna have 2 important things. He will have legitimately less time to throw the ball and his WRs wont be open. You said it ourself he wont beat us with his legs. So without open guys how will his arm win the game?

    The 43 turnovers forced by the Hobart defense is impressive, and their offense is average. I do not think they have see a player more athletic than Parker. There is a reason nobody has been able to stop him this year, he has a running back that has rushed for over 1000 yards on top of the 4000 total yards Parker has put up this season.

    Hobart thrives on big plays and EN does not give up big plays. I still do not think this game will be a blowout for either team and will stick with EN 35-28.

    I believe there were over 300 tickets donated for the students from various business around the area. East Noble's community does an outstanding job supporting them not only during the season, but in the off-season as well. The tickets are only for students, $10.00 for a ticket may not seem like a lot, but for some of these kids it could have been the difference of going to the game or not.

    My observations are different, I believe East Noble hasn't played a team as fast and physical as Hobart. Every team on East Nobles schedule is inferior to Hobart on both sides of the ball. Hobart has plain and simple played teams much faster, bigger, and outright better than East Noble. Merrillville, Chesterton, Morton, Andrean and New Prairie that's 5 opponents better than anyone East Noble played. Hobart's defense doesnt thrive on big plays. Hobarts defense complete stops teams from executing. They create turnovers through pressure and pure defensive dominance. East Noble passes well and creates rushing opportunities via scrambling with Parker, Hobart will stop that. Just because no else has isnt a valid reason Hobart wont stop this team. They have stopped better teams already. I also know and respect the East Noble community and football program I coached high school football there and as college football coach I recruited Ft. Wayne was pals with Chris Depew for many years.

    I usually look for someone to make an outlandish prediction Columbus East vs Cathedral in the 2017 (a guy said Cathedral was going to win by 21 or more). I took the bet, Columbus East won by 29.

     

    I saw another guy say Cathedral was going to beat New PAL by 14 or more.. I don’t pocket the money, I just bet them 50 and the loser has to send the money to the GID. Kinda a win win for the site and whoever won the bet. 
     

    We have had a really strong year on donations, looking forward to this site remaining free for everyone. 

    For the final time I understand what it is and how it works. You would think this guy would explain this prior to challenging me to a bet. That was my problem. Dont assume ppl know what your talking about especially when it's illegal.

    Parker throws for 3 TDs and runs for 2. Plus, he’ll get a pick on D. Maybe some chocolates from the South Bend Chocolate Co. on the way home can make the trip worth the drive from Hobart. 

    I'm sorry to break this to you, East Noble is gonna have to do something different Parker won't beat this defense. We have played more athletic better qbs with better Wrs. East Noble has not played a defense or offense like this.

    Valpo - 70 percent chance 

    Andrean - 60 percent chance

    Hobart - 40 percent chance

    Merrillville - 10 percent chance 

    Might want to check the top of the tourney pick em standings Urb.

    And your suggesting these mean anything? Who cares about the tourney pick em standings. A bunch of bias fans picking the team they hope wins. I just watched a preview show up here and they do a weekly poll and guess what? According to the poll all the region teams over 70% slated to win. I dont look at polls I watch hours of film do hours research and make up my own mind. Let's stop ruining this games forum, I'll accept your apology tomorrow night after the games.

    Shaun Zoladz Hobart's Defensive Coordinator 

    I come at this from a different perspective since I coached with him. In an honest attempt to come across as non bias here. Coach Zoladz is one of the hardest working coaches I have ever seen, and he is one of smartest coaches I have ever seen. Most important he is a tremendous mentor and role model for any kid his attitude and professionalism rub off and produce the Hobart D your seeing now.

    As a former Duneland player I applaud your optimism and hyperbole towards all Region teams.  But, this one will be over by halftime. 

    I def disagree with the use of hyperbole in regards to my post lol. You of all ppl should have a bit more faith 2018 Purdue over my Buckeyes? 1979 Brickies over Penn? It could happen that's why we play the games.
