Nah, Coach. There’s no short term memory problems at RP. I believe the RP staff kept receipts for every score against them over the last 15 years. No team should have issues with RP scoring a few points on them. Its just unfortunate that multiple coaches in this conference peace out before it’s their turn to take it. Kuddos to Coach Sanders for staying the course and being patient enough to see some success. He was apart of many games in which Herb, Crabtree, Good, Moore, Barrett, etc we’re dropping 60+ on his squads. But, with that said, the JV played half the 2nd quarter and entire running clock in the second half.

North Vermillion @ Rockville- NV in a shutout unless Coach Rector dials up the Billy Bettis playbook and sling the ball around 50-60 times tonight Otherwise, it’s a running clock. The Rox finish the season with NV, RP and FC - three very physical teams. NV 45 Rox 6 Riverton Parke @ Attica- My sources tell me that the RP coaches deleted the SV film from Hudl and moved on From JH to Varsity, Attica’s skilled kids and horses are nonexistent compared to the Ryan Good teams Panthers get healthy this week give the Rox the choice between SV film and Attica to scout for next week RP 42-6 Seeger @ Covington- Seeger wins in another WRC blowout this week Having the chance to watch Covington last week, they do throw the ball with much more effectiveness than they run I don’t see how this happens vs Seeger’s DL Seeger 35 - 13 South Vermillion @ Fountain Central- SV was bigger, strong and faster than RP at every level last weekend, plus their number’s are strong. I don’t see how FC hangs around in this game. Herb may have to get back to a JH game a refuse a running clock before his next win in a couple weeks. SV in a route. I can hear the SV fans chanting in unison from across the Wabash River, “We want Linton!!” “We want Linton!!”

Agreed. Any post that starts with “the xxxx team is the best ever” always has recency bias. I don’t even know how good the 1983 Mustangs team was, but if the Ultimate Warrior is lining up on the field, I’ll take them. 😃😃. (I also heard he played in the Terre Haute youth league)

Ugly. SV opened the game with a KO return for a TD and didn’t look back. 38-0. SV at FC and RP @ Attica next Friday.

Attica @ NV - Back-to-back losses for the Falcons equals bad news for the Ramblers. The Ramblers have only scored 25 points all year. Running clock. 54-6 Covington @ Rockville - The flying jets sweeps simply don’t have enough offense to keep up with the Trojans. Covington 42-12 in a game I may go watch, sit beside Billy Bettis and take notes. FC @ Seeger - I don’t see how this one is close at all. Seeger’s horses up front on the DL aren’t going to allow FC to run their QB lead and counter as they want. Seeger wins big at home in Herb’s reunion tour stop. 52-14 RP @ SV - tenderloins vs visors. The Panthers are coming off of a big homecoming win over NV without their starting QB. A three game stretch of Seeger, NV and SV ends this week, followed by Attica, PH and Covington. Panthers take this in a close one 22-21 with Coach WRC123 watching from the endzone.

Covington @ Wildcats - D1’s and visors by 20+. The SV vs Seeger game in a couple weeks will be a must-watch. FC @ Attica - There might be 35 total players between both teams If this is anything like Herbie’s junior high team, they’ll refuse the running clock and use timeouts to score more. Mustangs by 50 NV@RP - Panthers in a slugfest 34-30. Rumor is there will be some Rockville fans coming to the game taking notes on the double wing offense Rox @ Seeger - Seeger is starting to figure out who they are and using both backs well After this game, you may see Bettis and Batty wearing their Rox letter jackets on the sidelines until week 4 of next year

Bradly welcomes all WRC coaches to the Mecca Tavern. I may be wrong, but I believe he takes cash, check, card and loose change. No rolled quarters…

NV over SV. - The sun sets on the visor tonight. Falcons in a close one. FC over Covington - Herb’s boys play hard and he’s got a couple kids that can go RP over Seeger - call me a homer, I don’t care. I own it Rockville over Attica for their only win of the season. First one-win season since the pre-consolidation Moore era in which TR and Rox only won one game each. Good luck to all teams and stay healthy!

Well aware, sir. Just tagged along on your prediction and confirmed a good game at RP vs FC.

The RP/FC game was hard fought between the two teams. Both teams played hard and a late score by RP sealed the game. I can confirm that up 6 with 3:00 to go and the ball, RP did have their starters in the game.

Coach WRC123 always has the inside track on Rockville (it’s always Rockville to me) and RP. Best of luck to all the teams this week. SV RP Seegers NV

Donnie - If you haven’t noticed by the petition floating around on where to play their homes basketball games, PH has moved on to basketball season. Lutheran 600 PH 3

I would assume he means neither covers the O/U you set (58 and 63). SP @ PH: it’s not 2020 and the teams are completely different. It’s hard to bet against the state-champs-or-bust Wolves, but I believe Coach Sage gave South Put enough bulletin board material to work with. Throw in a couple rain drops and a few roster changes and I’m going with the Big Dog’s boys. SP 35 PH 21 Covington @ RP: Upset of the year. RP 30 Cov 28. Yes, I’m a homer, but who doesn’t want to see a Chuck Sorrel vs Brad Sanders bench press competition at midfield — rematch, circa Franklin college 1998?

No, I don’t. And no gimmicks here. PH, at best, wins the sectional and faces a very tough opponent in the regional and starts basketball season the following Monday.

I took the plunge and donated. Here goes the predictions… PH Grizzlies @ Attica: This will get ugly early. It’s state champs or bust for the Wolves. On to round 2… NV @ SP: SP 42 NV 28 Game of the week. Can the Big Dog’s boys respond from last week’s shellacking’ by Linton? I say the do. NV finishes 5-5 on the year FC @ Covington: Covington 50 FC 20 Too much offense for the Mustang’s to handle. FC finishes 3-7 RP @ Cloverdale: RP 55 Cloverdale 12. RP gets their first sectional win since the 15/16 season Speedway @ Seeger: Speedway 35 Seeger 20 The cities boys from the west side come to Williamsport and handle business. Patriots end the year 5-5 SV @ LCC: LCC 35 SV 21. D1’s finish a surprising 4-6. And there’s no more complaining about Catholic schools recruiting, right?

1. I never said those tidbits were true. Just items I gathered from “sources” 2. No. Not one. Best when served warm.

Attica vs SV. SV 60 Attica 6 D1’s flex their D1 muscle in their tune up before facing Lafayette Central Catholic in two weeks Covington vs RP - RP 24 Cov 20. This game will be a rematch in two weeks. Coach Brown plays it safe and preps for the sectionals. FC vs PH - PH 52 FC 14. Moore on this game later Seeger vs NV - Game of the week. Falcons 30 Seeger 21. Little nuggets learned about the WRC while visiting the Covered Bridge Festival this (w/ sources) 1. This is coach Moore’s last regular season game at PH - (Source: PH potato shack worker on Sunday) 2. “It’s not recruiting, it’s school choice, baby!!” (Source: PH school board member to me at the potato shack on Monday) 3. RP has a boatload of talent and numbers in their 5-8 grade levels - (Source Montezuma bean shack worker) 4. Coach Brown won’t be returning as coach at Covington, making the job very attractive for a coach to get a stud QB as a senior (Source: Billie Creek village parking attendant) 5. Hot seat watch for Barrett at SV. The shine is fading (Source: SV class of 1996 alumni during conversation in Bridgeton) 6. Montezuma cruelers donuts are better than the Rockville cruelers, even when a PH coach is cooking at the Montezuma shack. Kuddos 7. All eyes on the South Put/Linton game this Friday. (Source: anyone who follows the sectional and wants to see a SP-PH rematch from 2020)

Upset alert - Seeger 18 SV 6. Down 12-6 with the ball and 3:14 to play, the D1’s throw a pick 6. I’ll stand corrected on my assumption the wheels were coming off of Seeger. Kuddos to that staff for pulling it together and getting what appears to be a nice win.

There are no scenarios, Coach. It’s not real. (And I’m a homer) But if it was real, I don’t see any scenario based on coaching, recruiting, opponents, playoff schedule, weather and fan base that PH isn’t a 30 point favorite in every game all the way to the state finals. State finals or bust, per the bookies, of course. Go Grizzlies!

South Newton (-6.5) vs Attica. — My Montezuma bookie is giving Attica +6.5. The pride of joy of Riverton Parke, Brad Bevis, gets a W for the Newton’s and evens his record to 4-4. Here’s to hoping Attica draws Cloverdale in the sectional and gets their first W In two weeks. SN 30 Attica 20 NV (-13.5) vs FC — This game could be a toss up/pick em, but the Mustangs have trouble scoring points. Outside of Attica, they are the lowest scoring team in the conference. Factor in the coaching advantage and NV covers the spread. Coach Sage - Draft the paperwork for FC be called the Pretenders. NV 42 FC 27 RP vs PH (-23.5) — I won’t deny it , I’m a proud RP grad with a growing allegiance to the Roncalli Rebels I’d love nothing more than to see Coach Sanders rip off a few winning seasons in the next couple years. To me, the story of this game is coaches and not for the reasons stated above. What’s the record for the number of coaches that attended Franklin college on one sideline? Moore Jr, Batty, Petrillo, and Neely!! Before you know it, Big Chuck Sorrell and Ryan Good will he added to the staff. Someone get Coach Sage an honorary Grizzly degree before he’s jettisoned for not having qualified. RP covers with the points given. PH 50 RP 27 SV (-3.5) vs Seeger — The tailspin continues for the Patriots SV climbs to 4-4 with a chance to get the D1’s above .500 next week vs Attica. SV 42 Seeger 13 Covington (-42.5) vs Tri County — This one goes to a running clock quickly. Coach Brown gets to rest his starters early. Unless their are records to break, this one may be closer than it appears, simply due to starters not playing. Trojans cover Cov 60 Tri 13 Looking ahead to the sectional, South Putnam will win again this week making them 7-1 and on to a meeting with Linton next week. I’m personally looking forward to that game as a barometer for how good Chuckie’s team really is.

Sorry coach - no gambling from the sidelines. That’s only allowed in baseball if Pete Rose is coaching. But, I’ll take the action. NV + 21.5 if played at NV. +24.5 if played in Rocktucky

Donnie - Let’s not get carried away and try using logic. Ideally, yes this forum is about W’s and L’s, matchups and fans/coaches communicating and discussing our favorite teams and rivals. In reality, it’s more fun to talk a little trash, add some humor and determine if the Mecca Tavern really has the best tenderloin in the Wabash Valley. Unfortunately, we have some coaches use user names to post, which is fine and I understand why. Most keep it lite and respectful, but others are obvious homers and find some sort of enjoyment seeing other lose and potentially lose their jobs. I’m with you, I don’t agree how this forum is “policed”. It feels like some are protected, while others (Attica, etc) are free game to create narratives for. And that doesn’t fit the bill. Until then, South Putnam is -150 in Vegas to win the sectional with PH a close -120 odds. If you had an extra $10k to bet, throw it on Attica or Cloverdale and cash in a few million.

I think Coach King and Coach Batty are both still having nightmares about kicking to and playing defense against Nick Zachary in that game.

Stupid +/- keys on my keyboard. I stand corrected. I’m going back to finance and less gambling.
