BINGO. Our school did a horrible job and we had over 35% of our students out due to contact tracing until we had to go virtual for 9/21 for a week or so. During that time, they magically figured out ways to properly distance class rooms and expanded lunch into aux gym. Not sure what we were doing all summer, but it sure as heck wasn't putting a realistic and reasonable plan in place.

I agree with you

Yes. In 2013 we played GS at Harrison in Round 2 because Bosse was at home that night.

I’ll bet you $1000 that MD beats South Spencer by more than 21 points. That is the Sagarin, +3 for home field for SS.

@SEAL_63your radio team is A+. Best of luck next week. Beat Jasper!

Don’t think you’ll see him back up 21 and D holding Lincoln most of the night.

Which might illustrate the problem. Sagarin is not fool-proof. The Sag numbers for the SIAC teams (and Summit) are all artificially low because they don't play any non-conference games. I agree 100% Titan32. No. The IHSAA starts getting money at Regional. Sectional schools split sectional gate.

We don't have gymnastics, so there is zero chance of that happening. Can she pay soccer? As for Castle, they were the reason the game with Bosse was cancelled, so IMO they should not share even though the same losses would mean a higher win percentage. While all signs would indicate a full-strength Castle would have beaten Bosse, but maybe not so certain if 15 guys were contact traced out. But, as Titan 32 says, in 5 years nobody will really care.

Mooresville is strong. Best team we played last season.

You serious? HH ought to make sure the field gets plenty of water the week of Round 1.... LOL In all seriousness, Championship should be Game 5 at Southridge. That will be a doozy.

Well, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Glad to be home at Enlow in Round 1. Northview will be a tough opponent.

I don't think Castle can tie for SIAC champion because the win total would be less. Also, if we're being accurate it would be "Castle forfeit" because they are the team that had the COVID-19 issue, not Bosse.

That's what I said too.. I expected it the other way around. I heard you guys got us in 7th in a squeaker.

Memorial JV beat Reitz JV 32-6 Monday night.

Yep, there's a few of us p/p folks around. But DT, I think it is the COVID-19. Fewer people can attend games. Fewer people are invested week to week. Fewer people connected. Fewer people discussing things online. Down here in SW IN, add to the COVID issue that we've also lost some good post-season rivalries due to success factor (Gibson Southern & Memorial, Southridge & Mater Dei) and it makes things exciting.

My SIAC prediction: 1. Central 9-0 T2. North, Jasper, Memorial 6-3 5. Castle 5-3 6. Mater Dei 5-4 T7. Reitz & Vincennes Lincoln 3-6 9. Bosse 1-7 10. Harrison 0-9

A few lines for potential tournament match ups (PAC v. SIAC) based on current Sagarin numbers : Sectional 24 Boonville -3 vs. Central Boonville -16 vs. Jasper Boonville -23 vs. Memorial Sectional 30 Princeton -4.5 vs. Lincoln Washington vs. Vin. Lincoln -3 Sectional 40 Tell City -28 vs. Mater Dei Forest Park -7 vs. Mater Dei North Posey -3 vs. Mater Dei If any of those match-ups get drawn out tomorrow night and someone wants the PAC team, please send me a DM.

It is off because the SIAC has no non-conference games. Every team is skewed low.

North has lost 2 consecutive games to two teams that had a combined 3 wins going into the game(s). Lincoln had beaten Harrison and Bosse and MD had beaten Lincoln. It's a head scratcher to me. I agree with Spitting Llama that Jasper should handle North without a whole lot of trouble. I was high on North early, but they need to win to stop the descent. I have to think GS would have a tough time against Jasper, who has played a tougher schedule thus far. I'm not sold on Tell City, but I haven't seen them so I'll give them props for their record and the close game with Southridge. GS's only quality win of the year was Boonville by 1 score. Not sure how MD can be ahead of Memorial, who won the head-to-head match-up in Wk. 4 and also throttled Reitz Friday night by close to the same margin as Central did a few weeks earlier. Rather than just critique, I'll throw out my list: 1. Central 2. Southridge 3. Castle 4. Jasper 5. Tell City 6. North T7. Gibson Southern & Memorial (would love to see a full-crowd S32 match-up this year) 9. Mater Dei 10. Lincoln

Torjon has spent some time in the local courts. Domestic battery, possession, etc. it's public record....

Yep, I missed that Cappy... What I heard at the water cooler....

Without question, the "no fans" rule has really sucked the life out of Friday nights. Games are dead with no student sections. Good team or not, we could always count on a large tailgate of parents and fans every week. We had more fans at tailgates than are now allowed in the stadium. I agree, I really don't see any SIAC team making much noise in the tournament. IMO MD is the team with the best chance. It's likely them or Tell City in S40. Central is the favorite in S24, but I don't think they have the team to get past Mooresville or East Central as TigerFan20 says. Who knows about North or Castle in 5A. The QB is likely going to be out for a while. Castle seems pretty one-dimensional. Bosse has zero shot in S32. Lincoln might win S30, but then they run into Lawrenceburg. I could see maybe 3 Sectional champs, 0-1 Regional champs. I think the local team most likely to go deep is Southridge. I would have said GS early on, but their D is going to have to improve.

I heard it was a mix of frosh & JV for Reitz, but either way, that's a nice W. I too have heard the Reitz frosh class is very good.

I would still take MD over TC, but don't oversell their win against North. The only SIAC team that could withstand the loss of their starting QB at the last minute might be Central, and that's only because they really don't ask their QB to do much besides hand the ball to a RB. North might be okay this week without the QB, but they will struggle in the last two games if the QB is not able to return.

Me too. It's been quite a few years since we've played there (2011).
