I hope everyone keeps picking against Luers like they did when Luers played Wayne and Northside.😄

Can you say that when you picked Bishop Dwenger above?

Anyone else notice Bishop Dwenger getting 5A votes?

 It'll also rest some of the starters and allow the Chargers to work on their depth. No point in running this score up. 

That does not seem to be the thought process of Coach Dinan. 

Watched North v BD. Johnson has no control. He can sell the game but not coach it. Clearly owes last season to Dickerson transferring in. Kids walking off, helmets flying, multiple personal fouls, a player giving the BD side the double bird.
Will be interested if FWCS has to deal with that one as it is clearly on Summit City and making its way around internet. 

You may be right, you may be wrong long term. But do you realize by simply plugging them into that Sectional based on current Sagrin ratings Dwenger is the highest rated team. 

How many other people think Coach Johnson didn’t know it was 4th down on that last play. Not sure he knew he lost a down to the intentional grounding penalty. 
 

North go up to the line fast and called a play like their season wasn’t on the line and it was just any play. 

Merrillville could also be hosting Chesterton for Regionals which changes everything for Semi-State.
 

I am not trying to map everything out.
 

I am just stating Snider and BD have a great chance at hosting Semi-State if all things are equal. 

Mishawaka would be home for Regionals against Snider or BD as they would be at Concord for Sectional Final.

if Snider or BD come out they most likely would be away for Regionals while North Side would be home for Regionals.

Snider and BD have good path for home Semi-State if they were to make it.

Yeah merrillville should be able to blank all 3 teams in there sectional while scoring 50+… 

regionals is intresting because as a fan I want Valpo because if we play Valpo it will be @ Valpo and that means if we win we get handed semistate at home. But if we play anyone else in the regionals then merrillville host regionals and will be on road for semistate. But I think the team wants to play Chesterton or Michigan city 

This is not entirely true. The FW Area teams (Sectional 12) hold the tie breaker for Semi-State in 5A this year followed by Sectional 11. So all things being equal Merrillville would have to be on the road for Semi-State.

Population 

BD= 985

Zionsville= 2161

Shouldn’t it be more surprising if the game was the other way around? Not sure how many people realize BD isn’t that big.

More importantly why does BD always get lumped into being with the big conference? At some point isn’t there going to be diminishing returns if they constantly play schools with 2x or 3x student population. 

Assuming nothing is crazy with alignments, Dwenger and Snider both cannot go far. They will have to possibly go through each other in sectionals for the first time ever. At least I think first time ever. 

North Side Legends in Fort Wayne may open. Brevard is joining St. Francis.

So someone states their opinion that Zionsville is #2 in 5A, I disagree then get bashed. Interesting??

I think it is clear as day that Zionsville is the #2nd best 5A team in Indiana!  Cathedral is a whole different animal...

 

Zionsville beat Dwenger but Dwenger is still better than Zionsville, they just didn’t play well enough that night. Zionsville didn’t catch Dwenger in Sagrain until after winning Semistate

20 seconds left in half and you are playing man! 

Just now, temptation said:

Are you giving trophies/rings to these teams?

No but sometimes the “State game” isn’t really the state game.

As a coach you don’t say it to the kids but you have to know when you are the worse team and play to keep it close so you MIGHT have a chance. Playing for the win does not work until you actually having that chance to win.

Actual class 3a top 3

1. Chatard 

2. Concordia Lutheran

3. Marian

4. Those who got beat by Concordia and Marian and everyone else from the south.

 That is fact. Concordia had the worst path of any school outside of 6A to make it to state.

Wouldn’t have mattered.  Love to see a coach play to win.  The red ring looks the same whether you lose 21-14 or 49-0.

You punt there, they probably score before the half anyway.

I disagree for two reasons. One make them earn it and two Danville has stopped them or the score would already be worse. Chatard is already better don’t HELP them

That was an unwise coaching decision 

Fort Wayne referee crew for this one so not anywhere near either school.

With 3 timeouts I think SA should of let them score first play from scrimmage 

Put the ball back into the strength of your team

Your two point plays can not be so one dimensional. You need to have options

How do you slow down in a state game going into the end zone!

Wow!! Awful choice!
