I'm just surprised it wasn't mentioned in the press release.... https://www.ihsaa.org/sites/default/files/documents/062223.pdf

Not at all. The difference to me is the game will last longer in the second half and Ringer will be on the biggest media stage. Scoring 14 on EC is a big accomplishment IMO.

Me too. I haven't seen any article after the IHSAA voted to change the point threshold for the SF.

EC will be trying to get Ringer the Mr. Football award and there is no running clock. I'll take the Trojans 63-14.

I think this and the 5A game may be the only 2 of the 6 that aren't 30+ blowouts. Luers has played and won against some bigger schools so they should have seen some physical play. I could see this being a high scoring game. I'll take NP 41-35.

Good $ night for the IHSAA..

Thank you sir.

Yep. It was a failed attempt to appease the opponents of the move to class basketball. But it wasn't well-attended and after a few years enough schools expressed that exact sentiment so the IHSAA killed it.

@Cappy No doubt. It was a great environment even on TV. Best of luck to the Vikings on Saturday!!

It wouldn't surprise me if they let Sectional 24 just go from 8 to 7 teams bc there really isn't anyone close enough to add. IMO, what happens in 3A is a crap shoot, but it seems the most logical move would be Ev. Memorial to Sectional 30 and move West Vigo, which might cause bit of a domino effect to move someone to replace Chatard in Sectional 28. I wish there was a way to get HH, SR, GS and Memorial all in the same Sectional, which would be a tough Sectional but great for the fans.

I don't recall the point total change ever being mentioned by him or any reporter covering HS sports, but I must have missed it. If you have an article link handy, I'd love to see the article to learn the official rationale.

First off that doesn't sound like anything Coach Hurley would say. Second, I don't think he would have any basis for comparison because we had never been in 4A...

Where did Memorial say this? I tread lightly because I don't want Dumfries to get all up in my business, but generalities are misleading. I personally feel of the 3 state titles games we played in from 2017-2019, the 2019 (4A) game was the least competitive. EC is like nobody we ever saw in 3A. I think there are years where the 3A champ might be better than the 4A champ.

NP dominated. Congrats to the Vikings for earning that ticket. Nothing better than football practice on Thanksgiving Day!

No running clocks at state. EC Over 52...

This HH squad can throw the ball a little bit more than what I've seen in the past. The Goldsberry kid is explosive. Decent size in the trenches. I haven't seen either team enough to be able to anything more than a gut prediction as how this matchup might go though. BC sure looked good in the Cathedral game.

Yep, you got to me Dumfries.

Congrats to North Posey!! Great win!

Pain. I'd really like to see EC play Ben Davis.

You can't read between the lines of a one line comment. What I was saying is he played in 2008. If I wanted to say more I could have.

I forgot about the younger brother. Did he also go to ND? NFL? Zach Martin is still the biggest HS player I've ever seen in person. Just huge!

LOL, whatever dude...

And in 2008.

That is a good way of putting it. Two very good, equally matched teams. It was a heck of a game to watch. Kids played their hearts out.

I think EC has a legitimate claim to #1.
