No questions having turf fields makes a huge difference. By this time of year everything would be torn to heck without them.

Yes, which means a GS win this week has a huge impact on the next 2 years too. SR would fall back into 2A for the next cycle. Ev. Memorial will be in 4A for another 2 years. Chatard will be moving up from 3A to 4A with a Regional title. The path for GS would seemingly be pretty smooth the next 2 years.

That is very different than what we've had down here. Our local health department has restricted tickets to 250 per side. No students are admitted without a parent and no student sections.

How has Center Grove handled tickets? Down here in EVV it's been pretty limited attendance all year at 250 per side.

IHSAA doesn't make any money from Sectionals, so that would only have an impact at Regional & Semi-State.

Loose lips sink ships... LOL

No worries. I enjoy the 2A threads too. Good luck to the Miners this week!!

He was back against Northview and had a solid game. But we lost 2 key two-way players to injury Friday night so things will be a big challenge from here on out. We don't have much depth.

No doubt about that!! You guys were huge last year. We had some decent sized linemen and they looked small next to your kids. 4A South is deep this year - Ev. Central, Mooresville, East Central, Roncalli, Mt. Vernon - anyone of them could win it all.

I would also add that MD has played a tougher schedule this season than last season. 2019's Indian Creek and Whiting were replaced with Jasper and Vincennes Lincoln. I scout both those games last year, and Jasper was significantly better. I would argue Vincennes Lincoln was also an upgrade (to a lesser degree than Jasper obviously). But I agree, @Wildcat1992, the results show exactly what you said. MD was young, with a young QB, and not surprisingly, took some lumps early on playing a front-loaded schedule with 4 of 5 games against the top SIAC schools. As always, MD isn't going to quit competing and Coach Goebel gets the most out of his kids. The Wildcat D has been very good all year. Holding Central to 21 points in Wk. 1 and Castle to 6 in Wk. 2 sure got our attention for our Wk. 4 match-up. Starting with the North game in Wk. 6, the Wildcat O has really come around. I think MD playing a tougher regular season and having a schedule gives them a big advantage over their 2A Sectional opponents.

SECTIONAL 24 SECT REGN SEMI STATE Evansville Central 64.91% 34.21% 17.35% 11.87% Evansville Memorial 22.59% 6.70% 1.90% .85% Boonville 7.23% 1.47% .29% .09% Evansville Reitz 5.27% .80% .12% .03% I don't see the Boonville @ Central game being close, but Reitz Memorial @ Reitz will be much closer than their game a few weeks ago.

Will it be streamed?

I listened to your game while watching ours and really thought you guys might pull it off. The long run by Boberg when you had them pinned pretty deep was a game-changer. No question Central is a tough out and Madison makes them much better. As things stand now, I don't see anyone in Sectional 24 beating them.

Does anyone know if the GS-SR game will be streamed?

I’ll take Castle, Central, Memorial, Lincoln, & Mater Dei to advance to the finals.

A word on Sagarin. After last night, Northview is still higher than Jasper... Having seen Northview and Jasper, there is absolutely no comparison. Northview might win 2 games in the SIAC, maybe. Sagarin is still way off. We were 21 point underdogs last night per Sagarin.

I hope not all the 3A teams take the attitude that Chatard is unbeatable. Anyone is beatable.

Yep, it's tough when players are healthy but out due to contact tracing. I haven't seen Tell City or Linton, but I wouldn't be as confident that Linton would beat Tell City at full strength. They took Southridge to the wire and Southridge is likely one of the top 5-6 teams in SW Indiana and beat you guys by 4 scores.

Good Lord...

That is gonna be a doozy. Hopefully the wet weather clears out before kick off.

Not so fast my friend...

I don't think anyone is taking Northview lightly. They look pretty solid.

Being evaluated day to day. I would have to think given that (a) the D only only gave up 14 points to Castle; and (b) the back-up QB did pretty well in his first start against a tough Castle D, Coach Hurley would be pretty cautious. Of course it is probably more of a doctor's decision than anything.

Northview @ Memorial might trigger a Sagarin sunami...

Yes. WREF will have a livestream on the interweb ONLY at www.listentotheref.com. Chains on visitor side for the Reitz game per HUDL.
