I think Vincennes is definitely playing with some heart and probably 2 chips on their shoulders during the offseason the Evansville paper, reporters, and SIAC fans were pushing this idea that VL was looking to leave the SIAC already. the PAC I believe unanimously voted to not let them join and they ended up staying in the SIAC. Kinda feels like they said “ya know what…nobody seems to believe in us so screw them…we will show them on Friday nights” and so far they have arguably been the most impressive team this year in terms of expectations and results

I have no idea about owen valley other than they are the patriots. And something about them being the patriots makes me want to see GS beat them lol But i don’t think it will be the same as playing at Heritage hills

It’s been pretty quiet about tri west this year but I think they were said to be returning a lot this year i know a few of their players are very unhappy with the way things finished last year getting blown out by GS. I recall seeing about 3 or 4 of them at the state championship game and they kinda just had this look of being upset/this could be us playing right now. Which props to them. I don’t think I would have the will to go watch the team that just beat me play for the state championship the week after getting blown out like that. im sure they will be ready for the playoffs and ready to make a push for LOS and have been working with an extra chip all offseason

We back. Let’s stay on topic this time so this thread doesn’t get locked up again please. the last thing I brought up was Vincennes Lincoln is someone to keep an eye on Sectional 30 currently looking Tougher and tougher by the week GS, VL, Mt Vernon, Owen Valley all contending for that sectional

Yeah GS has new radio broadcasters this year. I think they are college kids at WVC where the station broadcasts from. i think they got mixed up and didn’t know any better which led to my confusion. kinda lucked out that one of the refs there is on this forum to clear things up

4A is just so tough this year. if any SIAC 4A makes it LOS, they would be without a doubt the best team in the 812 for the year

I’m out of reactions but definitely agree repeat of last year…came out incredibly flat now there is a fire lit under their butts and the bears are coming into town

It’s week 5 and the SIAC is still chaos lol i think only feel confident about picking Reitz to win.

Rule 34 for sure

closer to the topic here Maxpreps 3A rankings I think it’s going to be interesting to see where Vincennes ends up. Closed off in the SIAC…and the only 3A team in the SIAC now I believe with bosse up to 4A as well as Memorial. Going to be quite the wildcard once we get into sectionals

Well….it wouldn’t be a 3A outlook thread without this coming up out of nowhere lol

Certainly have. I don’t think anyone expected the team to be sitting 4-0 right now

I was under the impression the sophomore safety was playing good snaps already either way it’s a young team I was thinking earlier in the offseason “ya know….it’s probably easier to project the 2023 team and how good they are than this year.” Simply because there are so many guys coming back this year has been a nice surprise so far

I don’t know if Lawrenceburg is too low they are sitting 10th on a list that goes from Terre haute to Bloomington to Charlestown. It’s almost the complete southern half of the state minus some of the Indy metro and neighboring areas that we won’t classify as Indy if you live there but everyone will still think it

Also, It’s still weird to me to see Columbus East ranked so low. Forever in my mind as a powerhouse but it’s been a few years. take me back to the Jones/Kiel years

I believe GS and Reitz had a scrimmage in the summer. One of the very early ones, not the week before week 1. I think the early reports from that were that GS could run the ball pretty easily and Reitz had a very strong receiving group would definitely be a fun one…too bad the SIAC is closed off. Gonna be a few years before something like this can happen (barring both teams facing a cancelation on the same week)

The top of 3A being separated by 7 points seems very appropriate. so many 3-1/4-0 teams in 3A too. Lots of changes in the next 5 weeks for sure

At this point the only good that comes from the game is any charity work done for the week/at the game. Princeton isn’t getting anywhere being blown out by GS and GS only gets bragging rights against a school that largely doesn’t care about football. Basketball is Princetons favorite sport by far

Yeah that’s true. I personally just enjoy it because I can poke fun at the wife since she is a Princeton grad and I went to GS. But for football….it’s completely non competitive. It’s been 20 years since Princeton got a W and that was only because Gs had to forfeit a game back in like 2003 or something

Delta was a preseason favorite and started strong. im not the most familiar with that region for football but it sounds like Yorktown is someone to watch out for

I think everyone kinda wants SR in the big school division i know the divisions are not meant to be promotion/relegation system though. my very biased vote is Washington to go to the small school….simply because I don’t want to go back to having our county rivalry with Princeton as a non conference game. Having Mt V, HH, GS, Boon, SR in the big school division would be a lot of fun to follow

For what it’s worth….both Massey and Maxpreps also have GS/WL similarly ranked as the 6A schools mentioned. the only one that’s really messed up right now from recency is Sagarin. GS was beating Washington who is ranked as one of the worst in the state 57-6….and then the backups gave up a KR td and had a fumble that went for a TD. Final score of 57-20. Between that and an out of state game Sagarin has dropped GS by 15 points in the last 2 weeks despite the wins. Now has them ranked 9th while maxpreps and others have them at 1/2 im not saying GS absolutely beats these teams…but at the same time, outside of like 10/15 schools in the state…Nobody has any business claiming it would be a definite W. I say if these 6A schools and their fans think they are actually better, then they should call up GS and schedule the game.

I didn’t know Southridge had a problem being in the small school division i assumed since they were a 2A playing up in 3A (at least they were, now might be enrollment) that they didn’t have any issues on the matter. As a masochist that many GS fans have become lol, I would welcome SR as a real conference game move Washington to the small school to give them a chance to regroup and build more. would then open up another week we could find a 5A team to spoil the fun on😂

I’ve been impressed with the defense so far with GS, especially the rush defense knowing there are 2 freshman and a handful of sophomores playing on that side. #54 has been huge this year…kid is arguably ahead of where his older brother was and making such an impact on that DL right now

As a side note i remember last year people wrote off New Albany in 5A because GS put a running clock on them….they went on to go like 10-4 and only fell to cathedral in semi state i think Terre Haute South could surprise people this year. It’s a good group of kids and they can score some points. Their RB is a man amongst boys too…an absolute unit
