Valley would run through it easily.

Not to get off topic from the Jones injury, but did anyone watch the Laville and North Judson game in person? Was the officiating as bad as it looked? Multiple times I felt like Laville didn't have enough people on the line, looked like lots of confusion after calls, and sometimes calling something, moving the ball, and then moving it back. Clock running when it isn't supposed to, clock not running when it should be running. Tough to watch in a big game like that.

If anyone is gonna do it, I think its Carroll in the regional. I've said the last two years there will be a team that gives Adams Central a challenge in the playoffs and they prove me wrong every time, so I'm not gonna say Carroll can stop them. Just the team with the best chance to do so.

I think Knox and Laville could win their sectional, and then a toss up between Pioneer, North Judson, and Triton for their sectional.

In a way both. I'll start with 1A and say LCC and Lutheran are very strong in 1A consistently. If you move both teams up to 2A, I think they make the class stronger. Same can be said about Andrean and Luers for 2A. I think both are strong in the class, but then when they move up they make 3A stronger, not necessarily strong in 3A. In 3A you have Chatard and Memorial(although Memorial is already in 4A), when in 3A very strong, in 4A make the class stronger. The problem in 4A is everything gets log jammed with the privates because they are all in the same sectional so they just beat each other and nobody moves up to 5A to make the class as a whole stronger. So i guess in some cases p/p is the sword, but with success factor eventually find their place to sharpen the sword. You aren't getting that sword sharpening in 5A because Cathedral just ran through it in 2 years and went to 6A and none of the 4A's can make it there.

I can give an answer, but some people aren't gonna like it. How many private schools are there in 5A consistently? How many are there throughout 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A? Don't get mad at me, just somethin my mama said!

My mama said don't take the spread for either team. Just hammer the over and watch both offensive teams open up a can of whoop-a$$

Yea that will do it. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what is going on with Oak Hill? Major injury or what? Seemed like they picked up right where they left off last year at the beginning of the season and now they are struggling.

Couldn't beat the 2015 team either in my opinion. Played against that team in high school, not fun. Not as physical as the 2009-12 teams, but so much talent on that 2015. Jack Kiser said the best Pioneer team he ever played on was the 2015 Pioneer team with his brother, and Pioneer lost to LCC in the regional that year 31-14 I believe. 2019 is the only one I would say they have a shot against.

Mater Dei at 1-6 still receiving a vote in 2A is crazy.

It will probably happen. AC has another great team this year. We'll probably all be sitting at home watching Lutheran beat you for the 3rd year in a row at LOS as well. Goodluck the rest of the year and in the tournament.

My mama said all blowouts this week!!!

The only part of the game I didn't like from the Irish was the 3rd and 19 prevent looking defense from the 25 yard line. Free releases for all the receivers, guys covering grass not a man, and the ball ends up on the 2 or 3 yard line. I, in general, can't stand prevent defense. Isn't every defense a prevent defense. The object of any defensive look is to prevent the team from scoring. So play your Cover 1 and 2 high safety man under look you've played all night that has only allowed 10 points the first 59 minutes of this game and get off the field. You've recruited dawgs to go out in games like this and be dawgs. Let the be dawgs. Anyone can lineup from 5 yards from the goal line and stand in one spot. Just my personal opinion on prevent defense, not necessarily the Irish.

Just venmo and paypal I do believe.

Is there a way to be a booster and keep the ad of that wicked hot chick in the super tight shirt on my screen every day cause if not I wanna wait till June! Jokes aside thank you for all you guys do! I've been putting this off way too long. Whipping out the debit card right now!

While I will agree, Andrean isn't as great as they have been in years past the thing I have noticed while paying attention to this team is constant improvement every week. At the beginning of this year, I would have said this is going to be a beat down by Chatard. While I think Chatard is still the favorite, I expect this Andrean team to battle. I think they are starting to figure out they aren't the same run heavy team they were a year ago. The QB can sling it and is also a very underrated runner when things break down. They still have fantastic athletes at the receiver position, and defense is solid as always. The regular season isn't going to produce a flashy record by any means, but the 59ers are going to be very dangerous come playoff time with the schedule they have played. With what sounds like a pretty banged up Chatard team, I look for Andrean to make this a competitive game throughout the night.

I think if anyone has a shot to take out AC this year, it's going to come in the regional with Carroll(Flora). Great size and speed. I don't think AC is as good as they were last year. Now, interpret that however you want because they are still good this year. I just think they are more beatable this year. I don't think anyone touches Lutheran for the next four years. I think by the time they hit 4A they might get slowed down. On the flip side of the North I think it will be an HNAC team in the Semi-state. What team will it be? IDK, good question. I'd say North Judson right now just because they have that experience of playing there the last two years, but it's a toss up.

I blame the IHSAA Champions Network for a lack of home field advantage. While it is great for watching other games around the state on the weekend for me, the games are also shown live on the network which means its a lot easier and cheaper for families to watch a free live stream at home than go to the game which means less people in the stands. Is this the real reason for lack of home field advantage? Idk, but it is definitely a reason for a decrease in people being at games on Friday nights in my opinion.

Lol we've all been there!

Very electric, but not the state qualifier. #29 Wade Jones was the regional winner and state qualifier. Put this team in any other sectional in the North for 3A than the one they are in and they win it. Tough sectional realignment two years ago for the Vikings

If North Judson locks in on Plummer this week, Shively is gonna run all over North Judson.

Delphi just got out a few years ago. I can't see any reason they would want to come back. I think there is a greater chance the conference completely breaks up and becomes non-existent.
