Can't fault them for playing their schedule.

I was shocked by how much the Jays won but I wasn't too shocked they did. They are a very well coached team and The jays wanted revenge and got it in a big way. It was pretty much a reversal of last season. The jays came in over confident and winamac wasn't good enough to drill them but beat them. This season I think this year Winamac was judson of last year and Judson was solid enough to beat the brakes off them.

Tip your hats to the Jays. They had a great game plan and executed very well. Winamac had at least five turnovers. The pick that I believe Aldric Harper had right before half (did a great job at staying home) was a major back breaker. I also thought when they scrub kicked it after they scored to go up 6-0 and recovered gave them a lot of momentum. I know both teams played on the same field but the playing conditions absolutely helped north judson more than Winamac. Judson is a very up the middle type team where Winamac is more to the outside and some passing. I think last years loss was great motivation for the jays and it showed. I'll always wonder why Winamac didn't go to a 5 man front either at all or hardly tonight.

Its a very good conference.

Winamac's field was really muddy so that slowed things down for both squads. I think Triton only made it past the 50 once and that was due to Winamac fumbling on their own 7 yard line. #2 their QB and their sophomore RB are studs.

I think that's pretty cool of schools to do this.

Yeah. I was wondering if they'd ask Plymouth to use their field. (Doesn't the rock pile have turf?)

To be honest, Winamac's kids are battle tested. Bentle, Perry and Good didn't play football last year. Holehan and Klingerman.. Didn't play football at winamac last season but Winamac has four kids that have started for 4 seasons+ the kicker and four more kids with 3 years of varsity starting. Seymour, Brown, Bell, Pratt, Heater, Jones and Bucinski are in their 2nd year of varsity. They played LaVille, North Judson twice last season and LCC. Covid took the Pioneer game from being what it should have been and eliminated both LaVille and Judson games. Winamac shouldn't be a mystery to any HNAC squad. They are a well coached team that's physical, has size up front and some quick skilled guys with Russell Compton leading the way.

I cried cause I thought that would be our last very good team but as my dad pointed out...there will be more good teams to come.

Yes he would. He had 5 carries for 76 yards and two TDs rushing the ball and went 10-12 for 3 TDs and no picks w 182 yards passing. The fact they are 8-2 and he didn't play in 8 games is a big deal for SA. Hope he can come back.

Always enjoyed Bremen. I remember being a 10 year old and seeing them beat a solid Winamac team in 88. I was so destroyed until I saw them lose to I think Sheridan at state.

Allen and Harper will show up for North Judson. Clark and Compton will show up for Winamac. It'll come down to line play, turnover battle, both kickers, passing game and if the teams 3rd and 4th options offensively have big games. This game should be much like the 83/84 games. Intense, hard hitting and low scoring.

I don't think either team will need much. North Judson is still mad they lost last season. Winamac has been humming along and probably wants to show the area last year wasn't a fluke. When both teams are good, neither team needs any extra motivation. This is a rivalry game.

Why don't they throw with Plummer more? He can chuck it. I don't recall how many seniors LaVille has but I don't think it was that many like 3 if that.

High school play calling? Sheridan called the O last season too lol. Penix threw 2 pick sixes against Iowa and threw 3 picks against Cinnci...better QB probably means Iowa is a closer game, Cinnci is probably a win. QB play is killing them right now. Tuttle going out killed IU big time offensively.

Culver usually gives Winamac issues. The T formation is tough to stop at times, Culver also does a pretty good job at taking their time and usually using the play and game clock to their advantage when its tied or when they are up. Its when they get behind a score or two they are in trouble cause they don't throw very well. Winamac had also missed the two previous weeks. It'll be a battle this week and an uphill battle for Winamac if the Warriors get to Semi State. Monroe Central and Adams Central are both solid teams.

Indiana has to find a QB in the transfer portal or two. Indiana's defense is good IMO but not good enough to completely stop Ohio State but good enough to stop them at times but since IU's offense is so bad and going 3 and out. IU's defense is on the field non stop. Indiana has to sustain drives and their terrible QB play and offensive line woes doesn't allow them to do that.

When did you see Winamac play? Winamac's team this season reminds me a lot of the 2013 Tri Central squad that won state. They are big upfront, pretty athletic up there too. They have a balanced running attack with QB, FB and both wings getting touches. Their QB can throw it too (threw for 1k as a freshman and sophomore) and threw all over CC last season but Winamac has the type of offense that if they can just keep it simple and beat you they will. That's why they don't drop 60 on teams. Coach John Hendryx doesn't like doing that and does a great job at rotating his 2nd string kids. They could have beat WC 70-0 tonight or Caston a few weeks ago but didn't. Winamac doesn't have the "stars" that the 2013 or 2014 teams did but they are better coached, have more depth and instead of having 3/4 studs, they have 4 really talented kids and 7 or 8 pretty solid kids. North Judson's defense is really good. Their offense can be a bit shaky but their main studs Cheyanne Allen and Aldric Harper are very good...along with Owen and Quinton Frasure on D. They got Brennen Benson up front and he's a solid OL/DL. Their passing game isn't super strong but if Harper gets the time, he can throw it. Allen and Senior Kason Sanchez are both capable receivers.

I think in your post you are also underestimating Monroe Central, Winamac and North Judson. All three of those teams are very very good.

HNAC 2. MWC 0.

South Newton would probably have 1 win if they played Culver's full schedule. MWC is bad. Caston would have won it this year and maybe even last year.

I'll eat crow if this backfires but Tri County, Frontier, North White and West Central are awful. Attica is terrible. Culver is way more battle tested by playing Pioneer, North Judson, Winamac and LaVille. Culver is big, physical and can control the clock via their offense. I could see this be a Culver win by 3 TDs.

Thanks. I've been lurking for a few years and now I have an 8th grade son and 7th grade nephew...decided to finally make a screen name.

I think they have a very good chance at doing so. They are much better offensively and defensively compared to last season. I think North Judson's defense is better compared to last season but offensively I don't think they are (they miss redlin and Marin up front and the blount twins at wings). Coach Lambert and Coach Howard will have them ready to go.
