Well done, OlMarksmenTiger and Titan32! Excellent points made by both.

Castle -3.5

I agree. Although much can change as the season plays out with injuries, etc. IMO it has to be Castle just because they played a competitive opponent in Wk. 1. At this point I think its hard to gauge Reitz or Mater Dei, but we should find out a lot more this weekend.

But don't forget humble and modest. LOL

IMO, if GS had beat Floyd, they would be #1. Losing by 1 score to a 5A school in Wk1 after replacing what they had to replace is pretty solid to me. I might have Castle at #2 if they hadn't been gifted the W by North. I personally don't put much stock at all into last year.

Mine would be: 1. Memorial (always enjoy the WITZ radio broadcast) 2. GS (Floyd Central is a quality Wk. 1 opponent) 3. Castle (got the benefit of what sounded like some questionable clock management at the end by North) 4. North (snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?) T5. Reitz (surprisingly, Harrison kept it close until after the half) T5. Heritage Hills (its South Spencer) T5. Mater Dei (its Central) 8. North Posey (nice W against SR) 9. Jasper (JCats need a "get-right" game and Harrison is the lamb) 10. Boonville (its Bosse) HM. Southridge

This should be one of the more competitive weeks in the SIAC season across the board.

Or not. Jasper had a nice 1st Q, then got shut down.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

North, Memorial, Reitz, MD, Boonville

Not saying you're wrong by any means, but I haven't heard anything about American Legion baseball in years. Does it even still exist? We used to have Pate, Funkhauser, Newburgh, Kapperman, etc. down here in SW IN, but I can't recall hearing anything for years.

It kinda shocks me that Mt. Vernon Fortville has fallen so far, but with Coach Kirschner back I expect they will recover.

I wouldn't mind some variation in the middle, but I like having Jasper Wk.1 and Castle Wk.9. I doubt the schedules will ever change unless there is some significant change in the conference (adding / dropping a team). As is, the ADs don't have to do much except fill the open spot left by VL.

It looks very nice, but new lights is by far the biggest improvement.

Wonder what the "convenience fee" is, 3.5%?
