Sadly this is the underlying story for many many teams at this time of year ”if we only had that guy” People often ask what it takes to win a championship….a fully healthy team is generally a must.

What happened to Schuh

Laville nothing to be ashamed of great season Played wildcat with Dewitt almost entire game limiting their O loss of Plummer was huge as I thought it would be.

Zachary was runner-up for Mr Football Pretty impressive Sometimes its about the timing

If you were going to award it based on NFL talent neither Kiser or Bell would have won that year Karlaftis would have Kiser was the best all-around player. I will take it a step further, had Kiser played for Warren Central he would have been QB tearing up the MIC and you wouldn’t have heard of Bell or Elliott. 6’2 220 and animal on football field. Also qualified for state finals in the 100, shot put and discus! Who does that? prove me wrong.

Was the backup guy that took over playing another position prior to injury?

I don’t believe this Andrean team is near as good as the one Pioneer beat two years ago. Laville isnt that Pioneer team either but do they have enough to get it done? Losing Plummer is huge, he did a ton for Laville. Fantastic kicker and punter who ran their offense flawlessly. Andrean getting their qb back doesn’t help Laville’s chances of course. The X-factor looks to be Bowen. Can he exert his will and get his teammates to follow thru? 5-star talent at playing at this level cannot be easily dismissed. Laville will have to play flawless to have a shot and I think Andrean will need to make some mistakes to help.

Think about 2018 Pioneer Indiana Mr Football at QB who plays at Notre Dame State’s 100 meter champion and Top 50 player at one HB Other HB who currently plays RB for Purdue FB was Indiana All-star and a Terror on Defense 4-headed monster in deed

According to Sagarin Pioneer played the toughest schedule in 1A Hopefully that helps them🥴

ND is never the place to give untested coaches their first stint as a head coach. combine that with poor coordinators and you get losses to Marshall and Stanford they didnt change anything from Ohio State second half meltdown and never changed anything after Marshall debacle. Still refuse to challenge a defense vertically and continue to play 100% nickel and dime on defense. I fully expect the same going forward

The first meeting was a dogfight for three quarters. Pioneer just has lapses of play where they throw a pick/fumble/ get a punt blocked for score/ start missing tackles etc. Personally I dont think they are that far off being very competitive. Final Scores dont reflect it as Their youth has been exposed a bit but best thing about all those freshmen starters is they become sophomores.

Pioneer? Bold prediction Cotton hope they have a bold strategy

Teams will request two game films. Not necessarily the last two. Believe me they have access to every game you have played. If you think you are hiding stuff you’re not

First time in 30 years teams are hoping to draw Pioneer

By far?? You probably aren’t old enough to have watched Ken MacAfee in the 70’s, who finished third for the Heisman. Mayer is a great player absolutely but I wouldn’t say by far their best TE. MacAfee would have been off the charts in today’s offenses.

Schuh is great offensive player and I was on board with him early, but after watching them I’m not sure he is the best player on his team. Cole Shively hell of an all-around player

Congrats to Laville Believe I heard first potential conference championship in 36 years! I think the loss of Plummer’s kicking may be as big as the loss of his passing. Generally, if you are going to play late into November you better be able to run the ball and have effective kicking game. It appears Laville has the ability to run it but kicking could be issue

GOLD🔥

Laville has a big advantage in the kicking game. Making Judson drive 80 yds + could be huge

Just from what I have read: both teams beat 3A Knox NJ no prob with Skins 26-0 Lville had to escape with stopping 2pt conv for win in final 30 secs 21-20 Both teams are vulnerable to the passing game. Would think with Laville QB they would have advantage here. Laville QB is very good and if flushed can use his legs very effectively. NJ will need to be disciplined with their pass rush. If Laville has success thru air Dewitt becomes even more dangerous. On D can Laville force NJ to throw. Stopping NJ option game is going to be issue for Laville. They will bout have to change their front for this game. If they can take away Benson then Harper and Allen on the edge will be a problem for Laville Lb and DB’s. In the end NJ too physical for Laville imo as Benson will churn out his yards and move the sticks NJ 24 Lville 14

This one deserves its own thread. 7-0 NJ at 7-0 Laville Who ya got? I like Judson to get it done Should be great hard-hitting game

Laville got their first win vs Pioneer Triton got their first win vs Pioneer Knox……?

Saving secrets for playoff matchup is laughable Triton is still in the running for a share of the conf championship Anything can happen
