I would prefer at least 8. I do like having the rivalry game and maybe another to prepare for conference.

I understand. No criticism and Lord knows I hope you are correct. 😀

I don’t think East wins this game. May start 0-3 for the first time in who knows how long. I also think Huffman has another big game and East struggles to establish the run due to inability to throw consistently.

You also have a D1 type of quarterback, a D1 running back, and a big D1 offensive lineman. Did Bragg develop them or did he inherit tremendous athletes.

Same thing isn’t it. Plus North has 1000 more kids so more athletes and talent to choose from. Also take a kid like Preston Terrell leaves Jennings County to go to Columbus North. Why, JC cannot win consistently because not enough depth of talent and athletes. Then he moves to Brownsburg where they have a D1 quarterback in a big time program and ultimately commits to Purdue. Always the same athlete and talent but wasn’t going to win in Jennings County.

To some extent but talent is talent. Athletic ability and size goes a tremendous way in high school. I would argue coaches teach discipline and respect for the game but if you don’t have enough athletes and size you cannot win consistently. Can not convince me otherwise

Agreed but show me a Hall of Fame coach without Hall of Fame Players or in this case a plethora of All State players over the course of time. As talent wanes so do the wins.

I don’t see it. Size and athleticism drops way off after this years Senior class.

The talent level at East is down and honestly the future looks to be even a bit more difficult. Even if East moves back to 5A next year they won’t achieve prior success for the foreseeable future.

Pre-season IFCA polls

New turf on their field. Making investments in their program as well

Not really. Offensive line has a couple with size. D line is more stout and quick.

Whiteland will be stout. Offense will have to move the ball better to control some possession time. Corners looked a bit suspect today but front half and safeties looked good. Offense just looked unorganized with so many motion and illegal formation penalties

Fun to see live football today at East. A little sloppy but some encouraging things were seen. Defense looked ahead of offense today. Lots of pre snap penalties. Need to clean it up next week

Who has what scrimmages this weekend. East has Martinsville tomorrow morning

Special teams may be the difference. East very deficient 7-0 CG on punt return

Nothing better than November high school football

Never wanted to see my high school alma mater lose more.

No doubt CG will move the ball. East has to bend but not break. The key to the game will be East’s ability to move the ball consistently on offense and score points. If there are too many three and outs or turnovers by the offense the East defense will get worn down and it could get ugly.

14-9 Cathedral late 3rd

Center Grove up 3-0 and driving in 3rd over Cathedral 6-0 CG

The group is like high school participation numbers ......waning
