I'll switch your Carmel/Zionsville pick. Don't think this Eagles team has enough for Carmel, even when they are down. I have not a lot of info on Columbus N, but playing at home, and after seeing FC get thrashed at Westfield two weeks ago, I'm not sure this game will be that close. Sitting there watching Westfield dominate, I was trying to think how in the heck FC was able to beat HSC.

Westfield has already made arrangements for a charter flight if that happens :)

In this case, the color guy for WNDY TV23 was former high school coach Lance Scheib. I would assume after all of those years coaching high school football at Lebanon, Franklin Central, and Noblesville, he just might know a little about the rules.

They are a Jesuit prep school. Always have been, from what I remember.

The reason why the QB had to come out for one play was his helmet also came off as a result of the sack. For me, that's another reason why the refs call on this play was incorrect. Helmet off means that the play is automatically dead, fumble or no fumble, correct? Play dead means game over, Danville wins.

There were a lot of bad times for these officials. The game almost lasted 3 1/2 hours! Lots of them going off and discussing plays. It's too bad that the white hat that was supposed to do the game was injured and they put in what looks to be a last minute replacement that had never been in that role in the past.

I read today two things that I had not seen or known about that play. One, the QB's helmet apparently came off as he was going down. That there should have been a play stoppage, in other words, game over since it was 4th down. Second, the "white hat" official was not the normal one for that crew. The normal one was ill, injured, not sure what, and this game was this guys first time wearing the white hat. I do agree that this game was very poorly officiated. I mean, it took well over three hours for a one overtime game. Many huddles between officials before a call or non call was made.

I had not considered this until I saw Day, the Ohio State coach, get flagged in today's game against Nebraska for a sideline warning after he got on the field and threw his headset after a call against his team that he didn't care for. Maybe the high school and college sideline warning rules are different?

In my observation, and not as an official, but it sure looked like the QB was down, so game over. If you said there was no whistle, then there probably should have been one. One of my issues with this is that the flag was not thrown until the Brebeuf coaches came out on the field and started pointing to the Danville bench. And wern't some Brebeuf players also on the field? So offsetting penalties? Then the officials huddled for several minutes before finally throwing a flag. By that time there should have been no call. Just a totally messy ending to what had been a fabulous finish to the game.

And the game tool about 3:15 to play!

I'm not sure what they called. There was not a mike on the ref, at least on that play. The officials had a discussion before even throwing a flag. Lasted for several minutes. Needless to say, the Danville staff was really upset.

Danville kid who had the Pick 6 should have given himself up before he crossed the goal line. Only 14 seconds were left, Brebeuf only had two timeouts out, so Danville takes three knees and the game is over. Hard for a kid that age though to not take it to the house.

Agree! The play looked to be over when Danville sacked the Brebeuf QB on the 4th down of the OT. The players that did come on the field did not come on that far, and as the announcers said, they had no impact on the game. Looked like a total screw job by the refs.

So landlock, that is, no room to grow, is the main reason that Greenwood is not nearly as good as Center Grove? I've always wondered why that was since both schools would appear to be drawing from the same area.

Because all of the 1A privates have been success factored up :)

That's pretty cool! As a Cathedral alum, I don't remember this. I wonder why the games with Sacred Heart after 1956 are not listed? We played them every year through the time that Sacred Heart had the name change to Kennedy High School, and then merged with Chartrand to form today's Roncalli. Westfield and Noblesville play annually for the Midland Rail trophy. The old Midland RR ran between Westfield and Noblesville. Today it is a paved pedestrian trail.

THIS! Nothing to do with drones, cell phone cameras, and whatever else. I have a good friend who's ex was the chopper pilot for many years for a local Indy TV station. They covered not only high school football, but would go up when there was a bad traffic backup, accidents, etc. for live reports. Radio station WIBC was known for their helicopter news and traffic reports with Big John Gillis. It actually crashed on the Speedwayi High School football field one day while covering traffic. Paul Page, who at that time was the Voice Of The Indyi 500, was also on that flight and suffered injuries. I have a good friend who's ex was the chopper pilot for many years for a local Indy TV station. She told me he lost his job when the station sold the chopper. Both Channels 8 and 13 flew to several different high schools on a Friday evening. Dave Calabro at 13 and Anthony Calhoun at 8. However, they are still out there on Friday nights during high school football season, just now using SUVs, meaning they can't cover as many games on any given night.

Westfield 44 Franklin Central 7 For the third week in a row, Westfield dominates a pretty good opponent. Rocks led 38-0 at halftime, so a running clock the entire second half. Rocks went with subs the endtire second half, and still put together two nice drives that both ended up in field goals. FC scored their only TD inside the last minute of the game. With the win and Brownsburg's loss to HSE, Westfield grabs a share of the HCC title!

Yep, happened to Westfield last year, just one home game, and that was against HSE in the regional. I believe CP had only one road game. If Westfield does have to travel up there again this season, hopefully the school will shell out the $$$ and send the team up on charters, and not school busses.

First, my first paragraph was not supposed to reply to Temp's initial spreadsheet. It was supposed to go to MarshallCounty's post that shared a link that looks to be outdated info. Second, Temp, this link is great, since it has each school within the corporation listed and is current through this year. One thing that people around here wonder about is the dropoff in wins at Avon as far as their football team. Looking at this sheet, I was surprised that they had grown so much, over 3,400 kids at the high school this year. Of those, 41% qualify for the free or reduced lunch. That may tell a story there, as if you look back just 5 years, at the 2019 sheet, the number was around 28%. When Avon played at Westfield two weeks ago, I did not try to count, but it was obvious that they had considerably fewer players dressed compared to Westfield, but a school with about 600 more kids. Maybe because of Homecoming, Westfield dressed a bunch of younger kids that night, I don't know.

What year is this data? Looking at Westfield's high school number of around 1,900, that is well short of the actual students in the high school, and the total number in the district, all grades, several thousand under the number on Temp's spreadsheet, that has numbers up to this year. Yea, since this sheet includes all schools in a district, and not broken out per each school.

I'd put Westfield at a higher % if the game against CP were played here. For some reason,, I would not discount Carmel. They should have a win at Zionsville, meaning a Westfield/Carmel rematch would be at Camel for the third straight year. Carmel played them tough at Westfield back in week #2.

Westfield 46 Fishers 12 After a Fishers 3 and out to start the game, Westfield goes 77 yards on the first play from scrimmage, that set the tone for the entire game. Fishers only had two first downs after the third quarter. Westfield never punted.

Westfield dominates at Fishers, winning 46-12

Westfield had so many chances. They forced four turnovers on Brownsburg's end, but could not capitalize. Another possible fumble was ruled down by contact, but the replay looked like it was a clear takeaway. Three times, they had the ball inside the 10, but could only come away with one field goal. The other two times, they failed on 4th down, and one of those was after having a second and goal from the one yard line. Brownsburg's winning TD was a 94 yard kickoff return after Westfield's field goal that at the time made it 13-8. Brownsburg's only other TD was in the second quarter, a 12 yard drive after the Westfield snap went over the head of the punter. On the 3rd down play before Westfield's last field goal score, their QB, Carson Melvon, was absolutely creamed by a Brownsburg defender. He left the game and never returned. Their backup, whom I don'e believe played any if much all season, was ineffective on Westfield's drives after that.
