That's because Tipton played two CIC teams in non-conference (although Eastbrook still somehow managed a worse nonconference schedule than someone who played Elwood and Frankton).  I think that's the basic premise here.  The CIC is awful.  Let's compare SOS again once both teams play their conference seasons.

 

That’s laughable.  You think playing Elwood and Frankton is a tougher non-conference schedule than playing Huntington North and New Haven?  You’re stretching partner.

Agree. Their schedule is ranked 247th toughest in the State. Eastbrook's is 271st.

This definitely seems to be a reoccurring theme and conversation.  It’s just the nature of the beast, I guess.

I don't know a ton about what Tipton has back from last season.  I know they are historically a very tough program though and they've outscored their first two opponents 75-0 though.  Granted, neither opponent was very good, both CIC as a matter of fact.  One thing is for sure, the Hoosier Conference will offer tests for Tipton before sectional time.  I have my eye on their matchups with LCC and Western that will reveal exactly how good they can be.  The bad thing about the CIC is I don't think Eastbrook will encounter any good teams.  I'm almost certain they'll be undefeated and ranked #1 going into the 2A tournament but I think the lack of quality competition will come back and bite them at some point.  

I don’t think the first two games are telling at all for Tipton.  LCC and Western are the only two decent teams on their schedule.  I don’t think that qualifies Tipton as playing a quality schedule.

Tipton says hello.  And FW Luers may be able to hang with them as well......

I agree with the FW Luers part of that statement, but Tipton isn’t near what they were last year and Eastbrook is a better team than they were last year.  Only time will tell.

This Friday’s game between Marion and Mississinewa has been canceled due to COVID.  I hope these schools and players stay healthy and can get back to normal play soon!!

It's behind the high school. The original location years ago.

Wow, I didn’t know they were moving games back over there.  Why did they relocate?  New turf?

Most of these matchups look like good games.  I do not have much knowledge on a lot of these teams to say much.

It will be a big night at Frankton.... first game at the new Otis Cress Field.  New Coach and staff.  Introducing past player and coaches.

The team looked decent at Yorktown last week. They held YT to one score.  Defense showed some grit and flew to the ball. (Finally)

Offense looked like the push mower you pull out of the barn in the spring...  sputted and struggled to get going ,but by the end was running pretty good.

We all  just want to see some improvement over the past 3 years. Show some Eagle Pride.

Is it the same field?  Did they just rename it?

I think that Eastbrook might be the only team in the conference to win this week.  Hope I’m wrong!
