Whole thing seems pretty bush league tbh. Get the running clock on and get out of there.

Teams have played 3 times in state, Chatard winning all 3 matchups. Haven't played since 2002 3A title game. Kinda disappointed we schedule them in the year we have one of our worst teams this millennia. I fully expect Chatard to put the running clock on.

Crown Point pulls it out. CP 19 Valpo 14 Final

CP takes advantage of a couple PIs to move the ball and punch it in. They get a personal foul on the PAT attempt, and miss the tying PAT Valpo 7 CP 6 3Q

Valpo get the first score of the game with 1:09 to go in the half. Valpo 7 Crown Point 0

I’d give them a legit shot against 21-25 other than Reitz. Funny how you had them in your Top 25 last year and I was the one arguing against it then.

Funny thing is both Sagarin and CalPreps have Lutheran well within the Top 25 all classes. Seems like someone can’t cope with a 1A school being in the Top 25 in the state.

Good catch, can’t edit post at this point but game should be Valparaiso @ Crown Point.

A headline from The Onion come to life

They put mid majors who dominate in the Top 25 of the AP polls in college. Same thing. Not hard to understand.

If you’re ranking all the way up that high you might as well post Top 50. I’d be interested in seeing that.

Think Indy Lutheran needs to be on here somewhere. Are they overall a Top 25 team? Maybe not, but I think the utter dominance they've shown deserves some recognition.

Plainfield or Harrison would be who I’d predict. Think the Bloomington schools are pretenders.

EC ain’t getting touched this year in 4A. Only victories teams will have against the Trojans are moral ones for not getting the running clock put on them.

Agree 100%. I’ve seen CP play Portage and LC this year and they pretty much just won because the other teams have less depth on the lines and bad offenses. Unless CP blows out Valpo next week, I think they’re a definite pretender in 6A North. It’s very realistic that they get to Regionals having played only one good team the entire year, and I don’t know how you can say that sort of scheduling prepares you for deep playoff runs. The DAC is down this year and there’s nothing you can do about that, but that’s why you have to bolster the OOC scheduling.

@NLCTigerFan07 @TransplantedPanther @Caleb Hour and some change to get picks in

Speculating on the motivations of school boards seems pretty political to me.

Exactly. Might as well take the helmets off baseball players in the batter’s box, because if you’re scared of getting hit in the head with the ball, don’t play a sport where someone throws a ball at you, right? Using logic and science here is pretty much useless it seems.

Yes, no one is being forced to sign up for sports. Those who choose to sign up are being forced to play on surfaces that are not optimal for safety in the name of saving money and expedience for administrators. Pretty shameful if you ask me.

Lol oh brother, so your stuff about the MIC never got political?

Except they’ve done studies specifically focused on high school and found the exact same stuff: h
