The ball is clearly seen on the grass by the possession arrow next to the 20.

Just a comment... CalPreps will not update their system with the data from last night's game & predictions for next week until Tuesday a.m.   This includes their "Predict a Match up" function.  It is a week behind.  Regardless, this will be GREAT game.  Hopefully it will be available to watch online.

Yes, I’m sure it will be a great game.  Calpreps is just quick and easy to look at.  These two teams look pretty evenly matched.

I was able to see the video and it is tough to see but if you freeze it at the right time you can see the ball on the ground. If there’s a more clear video that shows he caught it then I would love to see it. 

Let’s get this straight, if someone from Eastbrook were to complain about officiating, then they get ripped by everyone on here.  But, if another team has issues with a call or calls, then that is completely justified.  It would seem to me that if you have an issue with the call, then you should be providing proof of your grievance.  Just for the record, I haven’t complained about any calls and I support my team.  I’m wondering which team Xstooge supports other than anyone who plays Eastbrook.  Like I said in an earlier post Eastbrook fans haven’t been represented well on here in the past, but don’t just lump me in with everyone just because we support the same school.

Interesting. You should definitely post the Hudl clip that shows it was a catch and clear all this up!

I don’t need to post anything.  I have no issues with the call.  It was a catch.  It doesn’t matter anyway, what you going to do throw a challenge flag

John Harrel's has Eastside by 1.  Either way it is going to be a good game and a State Final atmosphere.  Does Eastside have turf or natural grass?  

Natural grass

Eastbrook (11-0) at Eastside (12-0)
GAME TIME: 7 pm ET, Eastside.
COACHES: Jeff Adamson, 300-91 in 33rd year at Eastbrook. Todd Mason, 44-14 in 5th year at Eastside.
SAGARIN RATINGS: Eastbrook, 75.49, 39th overall, 1st in 2A. Eastside, 74.71, 46th overall, 3rd in 2A.
LAST OUTING: Eastbrook defeated Tipton, 28-21. Eastside defeated Fort Wayne Luers, 21-16.
OPPONENTS' RECORDS: Eastbrook 60-55. Eastside 69-58.
SERIES LAST 35 YEARS: Eastbrook, 1-0
LAST MEETING: Eastbrook, 42-9, Nov. 15, 2019, regional.
jh PREDICTION: Eastside, 28-27.

 

From what I see Eastside is favored by 1 point.  Eastside beat Luers who beat every Ft Wayne school this year but Snider.  This game is going to come down to execution, penalties, and ball control.  I don't think it will be a high scoring affair like Eastbrook is used to.  The winner of this game has a good chance of being the 2A State Champion.  I hope Eastbrook can pull out the win.  I also hope that Mississinewa can pull out the win this week so both can represent the CIC.  Wouldn't be something if both are lucky enough to be playing Thanksgiving weekend in Indy.  If this would happen, I hope fans from Eastbrook show up for Mississinewa's game and fans from Mississinewa show up for Eastbrook's game.  Let's Go CIC!!!

I hope you are right. Hopefully I get to see the chance to see the replay today. It was otherwise a clean, exciting game. It just felt whoever got the ball last was going to win. 

I watched that play about 5 times and it was a catch.  It certainly was an exciting game!

Eastbrook is favored by one point over Eastside.  You can’t get much more even than that.  Of course I’m rooting for Eastbrook to pull this one out, but I understand how good this Eastside team is.  I think if Eastbrook can stay on schedule on offense, they should have a good chance of winning this game.  Any thoughts??

Glad they got it right. A great game deserves great officiating.

There weren’t many penalties on either team.  Pretty clean game.

Fans will always be fans. Nothing new here.

I’m just saying that I watched the play on hudl and it was a clean catch.  It really was a great game.  I was impressed with Tipton.

I know, they’re terrible!  Right!

Yes the 3rd and 20 play with about 4 minutes. It appeared it hit the ground but I didn’t have a good angle so I will hold judgement until I see the replay. Seeing how adamant everyone was that was close to the call makes me think it indeed did hit the ground. We will see. Really exciting game to watch. Just felt like whoever had the ball last would win. 

No.  It absolutely didn’t hit the ground.  Tipton played a great game.  They were better than I thought they were.  That was a very good game!

I would love to see Alexandria, Blackford, Elwood, Frankton, Madison Grant, and Oak Hill all get football teams.  That way the CIC would improve as a conference.

Recent* history has Tipton and Eastbrookt 1-1, both winning on their home field.
(* verified back to 1994)

Nothing about playing at Tipton last year caused Eastbrook's uncharacteristic mistakes in the first half.

I agree.  Turnovers and penalties definitely killed the Panthers in that game.  You can’t make mistakes against a team as good as Tipton and expect to win.

I was on the field after the 2018 and 2019 semi-state games.  Nobody ever comes and says hi.  Very rude.  

How about this Friday?

Obvious how exactly? 

I would say that with their success last year and with how they’ve handled their business this year in their conference, that makes them appear to be the best team in 2A.  Sometimes games don’t always turn out the way they are expected, so we’ll see what happens.  Trust me I hope I’m wrong and my Eastbrook Panthers can pull out wins the next four weeks.

There's someone on the Eastbrook-Tipton thread already looking ahead to the "inevitable" Eastbrook vs. Eastside matchup.  One game at a time fella.

Ain't taking nothing away from Eastside, but gotta go with Luers in this one.  Has Eastside played as difficult of a schedule as Luers? Not as familiar with some of their opponents as I am with SAC teams.

I think this guy is just being sarcastic on the other thread!  It’s obvious to everyone that Luers is the team to beat.

Eli Carter is a stud. Just for debate, who would you take Carter from Tipton or Campbell from Ole Miss? Both are phenomenal HS running backs in my opinion.

#87 from Tipton!

He’s pretty electric. Hope it stays dry or I might petition to have the game moved to the Eastbrook turf. 

I’m a big believer of play it where it lies.  That’s the advantage or disadvantage of the draw.  It’s exciting and should be another great game!
