Saw this and thought it was worth sharing. 
 

5A the only class without an undefeated regular season team 

Went through and looked at the play by play on digital scout and found this pretty interesting 

-Boonville ran 39 plays

-the first 2 plays went for 174 yards and 2TDs 

-Kyle Sokeland reported that the next 37 plays went for 155 yards total.

-of those 37 plays….10 of them were either a sack or TFL. Another 8 were either a run for no gain or incomplete pass. 

- 18/37 ≈ 49%….so basically after the first 2 plays, it was a 50/50 chance than Boonville had a positive play…and that’s without factoring in penalties/turnovers/fumbles.

it was certainly a great start for Boonville but looking deeper into it….titans defense pulled it together quickly and went back to doing what they have been doing all year.

GS is on another level in developing 1 way players in the PAC. Being a part of a winning program is commendable. 2 platooning at any level requires depth. GS has that. The best player on the field was Boonville’s Clay Conner. Never left the field O, D or special teams. Several tackles, INT, 90 yd run for TD. 
24-21 had it interesting in the 2nd half. Boonville wore down end of 2nd and the 4th. 
GS PAC Big Champs. 🏆
 

I feel like the playing 2 ways thing is a little overblown sometimes.  GS does have players playing both ways at times…I mean Delong has been playing in all 3 phases of the game all year just like his older brothers did 

Tbh….I don’t understand how other teams can have 50+ kids on the team but still start 6 of them on both sides.  
 

It’s one thing when you have a talented kid who rises above the rest and earns other roles because of how great they are…and it’s something else when players don’t step up and coaches are forced to play the same handful of kids both ways because that handful of kids are the only ones giving their best effort

This game was, uh, interesting to watch. BV scored 14 points and had a kajillion and seven rushing yard average in, like, 3.9 nanoseconds. And and then... basically nothing. Spurts here and there. Admittedly, my butt was starting to get puckered tighter than a snare drum after that second one. But the boys appeared more or less unphased. They came out the next drive, buckled down, and TCOB from 3.9 nanoseconds on.

Whatever game plan BV had on those first two plays 👏 👏 👏

Not sure what they had planned from third down on, but a top notch start.

I saw on Twitter that after the first 2 plays for Boonville, they were held to 155 yards the rest of the game. 
 

I feel like this year there has been a number of games where the opposing team scores first and it’s a good battle in the first half…then the 2nd half comes and GS has made all the right adjustments and the players just take it to another level.

Well, Cathedral scored 27 points in the last 9 minutes to win 40-29 over Center Grove.  It was CG's first loss to an Indiana school since 2019.  The replay is on WHMB channel 40 in Indy now.

Brownsburg loses to HSE

CG loses to Cathedral 

How do we even rank 6A right now lol 

Final Boxscore 

19 3rd down attempts…7 4th down attempts…..

61 rush attempts?!?!?!? 400 yards rushing from GS?  
 

Whatever way is needed to get the job done. PAC Champs! 

Gibson Southern 39

Boonville 21

Final

Boonville might have had many fans worried but Gibson Southern this year is playing with so much heart.  3 minutes into the game it was 14-0 but the Titans just don’t give up and I believe they have now extended their win streak to 20 games.  Perfect 9-0 season with a big game to win the PAC big school title 

Delong with the hat trick and another TD

It’s pretty much all Titans for the 2nd half 

Gibson Southern 39

Boonville 21

under 5 left in the game 

Gibson Southern isn’t backing off.  They respond with a drive capped with a Delong TD. Go for 2pt and get it extending the lead to 11.

GS 32

Boon 21

6 minutes left 

Boonville answers Gibson Southern with a drive of their own and they eventually punch it in after crossing into the 4th Qtr. PAT good

GS 24

Boon 21

11 minutes left

Boonville and Gibson Southern exchange drives to open the 2nd half

2nd GS possession they make a solid drive but ultimately get stopped at the goal line and take the FG

GS 24

Boon 14

3 minutes left in 3rd 

this halftime box score is kind wild to me.  Gs has been in 3rd down 11 times….they have ran 53 plays…18 first downs….that’s like an entire game.  
 

outside of the last td where roberts went 71 yards for the score, Boonville is giving them an absolute game and making them earn everything.  

Gibson southern forces Boonville to punt the ball back with a minute left. 
 

Devan Roberts immediately takes the ball and breaks off a 71 yard run for a TD. PAT good

GS 21 

Boon 14 

under a minute until half 

Gibson Southern with a very long drive.  Delong punches his way in for a TD

2pt conversion is good

GS 14

Boonville 14

2 minutes left until half

I agree. I am surprised that GS doesn't have a live stream every week.

Not sure why they don’t.  They have the hudl setup….jokingly they are probably more concerned with live in game adjustments than a live broadcast haha

Boonville 14

Gibson Southern 6

As bad as Boonville would like to win this game, especially on Senior night (at Boonville, right?) I highly suspect this will be at least a 3 score game.  Boonville's QB is very good, but Coach Hart will shut him down.

This will be one of the scores I will look up tonight and if it is a running clock, it won't be much of a surprise.  That is probably why it has gotten so little press.  This is in no way to be offensive toward Boonville....they are a pretty good team.  GS is in a different place.  A game that would get some press?  Gibson Southern and Reitz.  That is a game that many would like to see.

Idk.  I expect GS to win but I just don’t know what to think of Boonville.  I think they are better than what many think….but GS’s defense is also playing so damn good.  
 

this isn’t to take anything away from the offense as the offense is amazing…but this defense might honestly be better which I think would be a first under Hart.  
 

outside of that….sectional draws definitely take away a lot of attention.  
 

my prediction is 28-17 GS

Illinois has 8 classes for football. From what I could find online Kankakee has a little over 1200 students.

I’m aware. Just like Mt Carmel is 3A but it’s more like a low 2A school for Indiana 

not what I meant though.  Like literally big lol. They have 2 tackles who are 6’7 and 6’8 and 300 and 350lbs respectively.  And they have big kids every year.  Their JV and freshman teams are probably closer to small school varsity size 

but I was mistaken on them looking for a game.  They needed a freshman game last week not this week.

Really hope the GS frehmen find a game.

I think I saw something about Kankakee needing a freshman game. 
 

it’s Coach Harts younger brothers team. 
 

which idk if we really want that as they are a BIG team.  Currently the Illinois 5A #1.  
 

John Hart- Brownsburg 8-0 and ranked either #1 or #2 for 6A 

Nick Hart- Gibson Southern 8-0 and ranked either #1 or #2 in 3A

Derek Hart- Kankakee 5-1 and ranked #1 in 5A Illinois

talk about a family lol 

Maybe I’m looking into it too much….

but could a coach asking for an early running clock just be to get the 7th grade game done and move onto the 8th grade game? 
 

as far as I can remember they are played on the same day on the same field…so if a 7th grade team is losing handily there is no need to drag it out.  Get the 8th graders out there and get the show on the road. 
 

idk…that’s just my perspective and what I remember of going to watch 7th/8th grade games 

I’m just glad VL has focused more on football than hype videos lol

truly a win win for everyone 

Does Jasper automatically get to play at home for round 2? 
 

i mean….both memorial and bosse are technically playing a home game haha
