DAC Life

I think Laporte will be stingy on D, keep it within 10, and I know City will capitalize on the offensive side, Hart will do his duty and the passing game is weaponized.

Can someone explain to me the 2nd Moratorium week practice rules? Specifically, are any team practices/scrimmages involving team play with coaches allowed this week?

Also from the Region, agree on Noah Ehrlich @ CP, has a cpl D1 rec and a TE, with a huge Oline, Valpo's Justin Clark had a terrific 2022, but with 6 Td passes in 14 games with 6 pics and 1034 yds not quite a complete dual threat yet. Sebastian Boswell from Chesterton with 1400 yds and 12 Td's in 8 games is formidable, but have to see what the listed 6'3" 215 lb QB can do with his legs and a full season.

Valpo is one dimensional, and have great size up front, and their QB reads the run well. They are disciplined. Merrillville can run and pass, their QB let one completion fly 60 yds in the air vs Chesterton. It will bode well for Valpo to score first, and the secondary will have its hands full in their zone coverage, especially if they dont keep the game in front of them. I like Merrillville's chances, with their big play potential, but they have to play disciplined ball, regardless of where the game is played, or whatever Cody's " Officiating history" comment means. Sad to hear a Merrillville OL decided to let the team down at half time of the Chesterton game, while it was tied at 7's, apparently it had a significant impact in the unwillingness of Merrillville to score in the 2nd half. Unsure why Cody has to offer unnecessary information regarding game specifics, was some rain in 4th qtr, not much wind, didnt bother Chesterton much, and they didnt bother with any slants or screens. What high school team doesnt watch upcoming game film? It's all on HUDL, and coaches can see how often their players view it.....and I agrree, the overall culture of a program is in jeopardy if starters are walking off at halftime and players admit in public that they dont watch film. Perhaps I dont like Merrillville's chances.

Valpo @ Penn

Must be nice, make a statement, and once again, unwilling to back it up with proof for all to see. Players from other DAC teams with D1 offers have been seen in publications and social media, of which we all in the region can be proud of, not to mention just as proud of those who earned their way to a college education via Football and Academics no matter what division they will play in. Merrillville's program is awesome, no doubt.

Penn will scrimmage Crown point tonight.
