I'm still lurking, just been busy with a kid playing 2 sports right now and coaching youth football again this year. Will try making it a point to post more, i changed jobs and don't get to sit in front of a computer screen 10 hours a day anymore. Really excited to see our kids get to finally enjoy a first class facility!

Mishawaka (0-2) at Warsaw (2-1) NLC game of the week in my opinion, mentor vs understudy. Mishawaka has lost 2 close ones to possibly the best team in the North and another very good Marian team. Warsaw is no pushover either, but I look for the Cavemen to open their NLC debut with a win on the road in a game that will be over before the others start the 4th quarter. Mishawaka by 10 Plymouth (0-3) at Northridge (2-0) This game has typically been a toss up in recent years, with Plymouth winning last year at home. Raiders looked good against 2 teams that are still trying to figure out if they're good or not this year and have both beat up on teams that aren't looking the best. Northridge Defense seems legit so far and we have a strong run game and capable passing game. Looking for a big win for the Raiders at Interra Fields inaugural game. Northridge by 24 Wawasee (2-1) at Concord (1-1) Could be a good game but I'm not sold on either just yet. Wawasee has some playmakers in the passing game that showed flashes last week. Wawasee by 7 Bonus area pick for 2 teams that will likely face NLC teams in sectionals. Looking for East Noble to shock Penn and win by 3. Wish Northwood and Valpo could've made it happen, would have been great sectional prep for the Panthers.

I'll hold off on much in depth guesses until next week since I don't know much about our teams this year. Very thankful to finally have football back, we are just finishing up our busy travel baseball season that had no hiccups due to the virus which included tournaments out of state and around hundreds of kids and parents. Concord @ Jimtown - . Concord by 14 East Noble @ Northwood - interested to see East Noble play Penn in a few weeks, but this one could be a good one too and possibly a rematch to come later on now that the Panthers are playing 4A? - Northwood by 3 Mishawaka @ Elkhart - was really pulling for the Cavemen last week, what a crazy game! Pulling for the Lions this week, but I think it will be a good one for most of the game. - Elkhart by 17 Michigan City @ Warsaw - Warsaw in a close one last week, have to belive this will be close also. - Tigers by 7 West Noble @ Wawasee - Happy to see Wawasee start out with a big win. - Warriors by 7 Northridge @ St. Joe - I have really enjoyed this week 2 addition to our schedule, i think the Indians bounce back and make this a close one at home. - Raiders by 4 Plymouth @ Kokomo - Plymouth got smacked around last week, i think they bounce back tonight. - Plymouth by 14 Goshen @ SB Clay - Should be a confidence boosting win for Goshen. - The Goshen Football Team by 18

Been hard to get motivated to post on here with so much in limbo, can't wait for us to finally start playing. That being said, great to have some area football back, looks like HN put up a good fight, and the game of the night was between Mishawaka and Marian. Good to see Wawasee get a nice win and to see Plymouth get spanked too 🤷🏻‍♂️

been a while since I've been able to read through these forums, new job and travel baseball have kept me busy. I see DT is still talking out of his rear end. I'll post my NLC thoughts in the coming days

Congrats East Noble on a trip to Lucas Oil

Good luck tonight Tigers! Tough matchup tonight, but anything is possible any given Friday night.

During the recession Elkhart county had the highest unemployment in the country but routinely is lowest when the economy is booming like it is now. My guess is Centrals coach takes over, and Memorials either looks for a new gig or transitions to assistant, at least during the first year. Tough decision because both staffs have really built great programs at their own schools. I think the Lions will have the potential to become a 6A powerhouse in the north almost immediately.

It was just 5 years ago for our first, what a great feeling, enjoy it while you can, and knock off Merillville on Friday!

Pulling for Warsaw to bring home their first sectional title tonight against Penn! 5 years ago today, Northridge won our first sectional title, and the culture is a complete 180 from when I played. Good luck Plymouth also, hope to see the NLC represented in Regionals, but it'll be a tough one tonight first. Also Mishawaka will have a good one tonight to finish their time in the NIC with a sectional title, looking forward to their addition as well as our new facilities that should be ready by next fall. Lastly, in non NLC news, what a turnaround for Fairfield this year, go out and bring home a sectional tonight!

Good luck to all of the NLC teams tonight. I started a new career and have been too busy to post much this year. We got a tough draw for round 1, but you never know what might happen when those lights come on. Also sharing something I saw Chuck Freeby share on Twitter this morning that I feel a lot of people take for granted.

Been out of town all week, so haven't really had much time to break any of these down. Plymouth big Memorial big Northridge by a point Warsaw by 18

Haven't checked his site for predictions all year, but sounds like im in pretty good company, guy is an Indiana legend.

Concord over Goshen by 35 Northwood over Wawasee by 28 Warsaw over Northridge by 10 Memorial over Plymouth by 1

ᵣₑₛₚₑ𝒸ₜ Good game by the Pilg....Rockies Friday night. We looked to have the momentum going into halftime down 4, but fumbling the ball on the first play of the second half, and again, and rinse and repeat, isn't a recipe for success. A couple of ill timed penalties including a "late" hit on Baron all but sealed the game. Best part is it should be a couple years before we get the pleasure of hearing the most obnoxious PA voice in three states, unless fortune finds both teams on a deep tournament run as we're no longer in the same sectional/regional.

My quick picks for the games tonight. Concord over Wawasee by 35+ Northwood over Goshen by a similar margin Northridge over Plymouth by 1 in the TV46 game of the week. Warsaw over Memorial by double digits

Awesome! Happy to see an NLC kid getting a full ride at an SEC school

Plymouth knocking off Warsaw could be an honorable mention for the "soft" 4A North team of the weak

Should be a fun one this Friday night at the Rockpile. I pulled into Northridge to pick my son up as our game was finishing up last night, but it sounded like our run game just wore the Warriors down in the second half. I had a job in Bremen last night that kept me from seeing our game, but allowed me to take in part of the Bremen/Glenn game. Always kind of fun seeing things from a different perspective. Congrats to Plymouth on the big win, you guys didn't even need a bad call to pull it out this year. I didn't see it happening, but may end up being a good thing for Warsaw to learn from. Those two teams have an awesome historic hatred for one another. Honestly I'm kind of jealous we don't have a true arch enemy like those two.

After last week I'm 12 and 2, somehow forgot to pick the Concord/Memorial game last week. Conference play finally starts for everyone tonight. Concord over NW in a close one. This is a toss up for me but I'll give them the edge playing at Jake Field tonight, not much insight, just a gut feeling. Memorial over Goshen by double digits - Maybe Goshen keeps it close for a quarter or two, but I think tonight Memorial gets their first of a few wins this year. Northridge over Wawasee by double digits. Warsaw over Plymouth - by double digits. Warsaw will control the clock which will keep the Rockies possessions to a minimum. Although Baron is top 5 in passing yards in the state so far, it won't be enough to beat the Tigers tonight, nor will a botched field goal call.

Hah, even a broken clock is right twice a day
