The cycles are 2 years.

That is a very good question. What do you think @Titan32 ? Stinky Stinky Stink 2, 4, 6 In 2017 you had your chance to see our tailgate tricks we were ready with lots of food, Tiger BLs, and Rumplemintz. At halftime monster Parris and his boys tried to get back on the bus, but worst of all the Clown and his crew didn't show up to party with us. Maybe we'll get another chance to party some day, but it won't happen as long as the Blue Tigers stay in 4A. So good luck against the Rock Ridge Raiders this time, you might set up a toll booth and charge each player a dime. (I hope you like Blazing Saddles...)

East Central has had a lot of success against SIAC schools. They beat Ev. Central in 2017, Reitz in 2016 and Harrison in 2015. Central beat them in 2018. Lawrenceburg has not fared as well against PAC or SIAC schools, but that's probably only because @StinkTownClown didn't drink enough Tiger BLs before those games.

I will take Castle over Jeffersonville 28-7. Mooresville over Central 28 - 13. Mater Dei over Triton Central 42-20.

That is bush league.

I agree 100%. The start time TC set last year was bush league. Here’s hoping MD wins big and pours it on.

Nothing to hang our heads about in this one. Central should have beat us by 21+. Bears’ season ends next week against Mooresville. Congrats to MD and Castle, two classy programs.

The diocese closed Rex Mundi in 1972 when it became clear we could not support 3 Catholic high schools in Evansville.

And having served on the same board and seeing the same data, this is 100% correct.

Local radio is reporting there may be a question about whether Greene Co. schools are going virtual this week? Does that impact Friday night?

As of 10/19 (after Wk. 9), the top 4 in Sectional 24 were: #1 - Northview 69.26 #2 - Central 64.31 #3 - Jasper 52.10 #4 - Memorial 44.86 These 1/4 & 2/3 games were actually played in Round 1, with #4 Memorial beating #1 Northview 28-6 and #2 Central beating #3 Jasper 30-7. Any Sagarin numbers involving the SIAC or SAC were not real accurate at that time. After 2 tournament games, the numbers have gone up substantially. Central is now 86.93 and Memorial is 69.16.

A word to the wise... the Central @ Memorial game will NOT be video-streamed. It is only on radio at 97.7 WREF.

No question it was a huge advantage. Both chose to play Friday night, which I think was a mistake given the travel involved. This year playing at home isn't as big an advantage because crowds are next to nothing. But last year it definitely added to our advantage in those games. We were lucky to get past Mooresville. They probably win 8 times if we played 10 games.

That's what I thought you meant. Personally, I think either team would have a tough time beating Mooresville.

@JustRules Are you using current Sagarin numbers or the numbers at the time of the draw?

Like last year, I don't think anything will be livestreamed until Regional. I don't think any of the local stations ever do tournament streaming.

It depends on what you mean by this... But nevertheless, I suspect no matter who wins this Friday will have a tough time against Mooresville in Regional.

Memorial will be in 4A for the next 2 years. In the extremely unlikely event we were to win this week and next, we would move to 5A for the next 2 years.

I’ll take MD by 10.

The Tigers are heavy underdogs this week. We have several key players out with season-ending injuries and Central is very talented. It will be a tough challenge to stay in this game.

If my eyes are correct, this will be Mater Dei’s 12th straight appearance in a Sectional title game and they will be seeking their 9th title during that span. An impressive run.

Looks like the SIAC’s Sagarin numbers are finally more accurate after last nights games.

The Hanner Dome! You pretty well called it STC.

Ev. Memorial will host Ev. Central for S24 championship at Enlow Field.

Ev. Memorial 45 - Ev. Reitz 21 in a running clock game. Memorial boys soccer also wins 4th state title in 5 years tonight.
