So that's what @Noble1978meant. The Linton recruiters get the win at home.

No by that statement mean MD recruits. Come on don’t play that we don’t recruit crap.  You’re a 2A school in the middle of 4,5 and 6A schools.   Kids leave to go the the better programs.  I get that. But don’t say you don’t recruit them.  Whether is HS or JR High.  And yes there’s schools around our area who do not have football.  Shakamak, WRV and Bloomfield.  Wouldn’t count Eastern. They have it.   Kids don’t leave schools like Eastern, Sullivan or North Daviess to come to LINTON to play football when they already have it.

It is called "sarcasm" and in not an infrequent tool on these forums.  

17 posts in and you are tossing out the "recruiters" trash.  Weak.  You are off to an inauspicious debut.  

 

When you know the truth you know the truth

Hahahaha Evansville recruiters? The last 3 losses to us must have really given you nightmares over the years. Just promise me that if we win you won’t blame the loss on dominion and then demand 28 recounts. 

Won’t need to.  35-28 LS

You cant go by jv...but, NK jv beat NP 36-12...I think this will be the better of the 2 games...MD by 2 scores...

NK will be lucky to score twice

Shoot, my apologies I must have fat fingered it. I meant to say 67-1…no way MD scores 66, that would be silly. I forgot to add that after the game LS gives coach G a key to the city and promises to put up a statue of him.

Even when MD was good in past seasons they still never got close to 66 or 67.  LS wins 35-28. The Evansville recruiters go home losers

Some big games this coming Friday. Both games will be nip and tuck. I had to do a lot of research looking at the numbers and seeing how both adapt to the elements. LS puts a real scare into MD but eventually the MD coaching staff will pull out all the tricks like finding a 3 legged dog and then convincing the MD players that LS was to blame for it only having 3 legs and then it will be all over.

NP 28-21 NK

MD 66-1 LS

You’re crazy to think MD will score 66 on LS.  LS wins this game.  

NP 32

NK 15

LS 35

MD 28

Game night.   What’s your scores for the listed games?

Yes... they will likely play.  They will be in the mix of the 7-8 varsity guys.  If this summer is an indicator of this Winter... it will be a team effort.  The ones listed played most of if not all of the 30+ Summer games.  Riggleman and Fields both missed quite a bit due to work schedules.  My mistake 🙂 

The way I would see it is a kid that can play 2 sports plus hold a job all while keeping good grades is just as much of a hard worker as the kid putting in 30+ games over a summer.  The way I see it.  People easily discount the kids who aren’t “starters” or commit to the sport. But what they don’t realize is those kids who work are working even harder in practice trying to get that playing time because of the time they miss because they don’t have a choice but earn money during the summer and school year to keep gas in their car to get them from point A to point B

Wrigley Franklin (G/DE) qualified for Regionals in the Discus as a Sophomore.  He would have out thrown the MD guys as well.  Linton had 4 guys that threw 42'+ in the shot put.  I'm a little shocked the Ralph kid doesn't throw... his explosive power seems a natural fit for shot put.  Gennicks and Lynn were good hurdlers... both were injured for track sectionals.  Both would have had a chance of advancing.

Smith, Franklin, Gennicks, and Webb should be big pieces for what looks to be a really good Miner basketball team this Winter.  

Personally, I love to see multi-sport guys.  It is a major accomplishment for these young men who can commit the time to all these sports and still be contributors.

 

What about Riggleman, Fields they are also part of that said basketball team too.  Both multi sport athletes.  1 player isn’t a team.

Seriously?  Or just TROLLING?   

Not trolling.  Just my prediction.  Andrean is always solid.  And LS will have tough test against MD. But if they pull through that you’ll see them at the Can after Turkey day 

LINTON-Stockton vs Andrean

Most teams the Miners face have a size advantage in the trenches.   The key factor here is, most teams don't have the coaching staff the Wildcats have.

Nor the coaching staff the Miners have

That's not even close to what I said.  Do I think that Linton could hang with them.  Probably for a while.  Do I think Linton would beat Jasper, Memorial or Castle?  Nope.  Cold they beat North?  Maybe, but I'd favor North for sure.

I think they’d beat 2 out of 4.   People discount small 2A public schools.  Sure we can’t bring the best in from all over Evansville.  But I can guarantee you this.  We’d give you our best shot.  Probably have you on your heels.  And who knows maybe even pull the upset.  Talent doesn’t always beat heart.  Good thing for LINTON is they have the Talent and the Heart.  Guarantee if they meet MD is around 2, it’ll be a lot better than what it has been in the past.

How so?  You flip schedules and MD is undefeated and LS likely has 3-4 losses (Jasper, Memorial, Castle and maybe North).

The fact you are disputing that LINTON couldn’t even hang with those teams just shows you know nothing about them.  

Miners by 4+ TDS.  1st undefeated season in 5 years.  Miners take huge win into Sectionals to grab the 2021 2A Sectional ‘SHIP

Round #2

NP vs NK = NP 32 - 18

LS vs MD = LS 35 - 28

Round #3

LS vs NP = LS 42 - 21

Miners grab their 1st 2A Sectional and make a run at State

Sectional 40 is going to be a tough one. 
Linton, Mater Dei, N.Posey and N.Knox. Although I will say and hope the Miners finally break this Sectional slump that they are in.  The pieces are there for another State Title run in 2021!

This is really not a game to talk about but it is Week 8. Eastern is on a rebuilding track I hope. It was fun watching them just a couple of years ago and I hope they reach those goals very shortly. Linton can not afford injury and still have South Putnam left. Tough game for Linton this one. I can just hear Dorothy saying      Auntie Emm   oh my. What do we do now? I'll call Linton by35 and a short game. Any thoughts?

LINTON by 8+ and that’s just at the half.  JV takes over in the 3rd

56-6 Miners
