I mean….that would be wonderful….but also know that a lot of the PAC was young last year and now they have more experience. ….and also South Warren is on the schedule and they are on the level of St Xavier/Trinity/Male in Kentucky….which is the same tier as like Carmel/Warren Central/Brownsburg Not counting GS out of that game…but it’s a game where GS has to play their absolute best football. 2021 GS was top 10 in the state according to sagarin last year…..and they steamrolled us like 42-7 lol

Castle [+14.5] at Mater Dei Central [-28.5] at Bosse Memorial [-15.5] North Reitz [-12.5] at Vincennes Forest Park [-6.5] at Perry Central New Albany [+28.5] at Gibson Southern Pike Central [+25.5] at Tecumseh Princeton [+22.5] at North Posey Southridge [-6.5] at Boonville Heritage Hills [-27.5] at Tell City some of these are tough lines. And while I would love to pick GS….29 points over a team ranked 1 spot lower than THS on sagarin is a lot. THS and New Albany are right next to each other on the rankings….and I don’t necessarily know if home field + 1 week of improvements is worth 21 more points haha I think GS probably wins it 35-14

11 penalties for like 90 yards. Unforced ones too of unsportsmanlikes and jumping offsides a number of times. also their punt team with bad snaps and bad punts If they didn’t have those mistakes, they very well could have won the game.

I think 5A needs Merrillville. just looking at how this last week went.….there are 31/32 teams in 5A…..11 of them won. That’s pretty bad imo

Not sure where to really start…but I guess I can start with Is New Albany better than Terre Haute South this year?

I’m not going to lie….it was a little too close for comfort. What THS did have was size and speed. That Cottee kid is a grown man amongst boys lol I think it showed that GS had a lot of inexperience and there were 3 freshman who saw playing time I believe, maybe 4…some growing pains but you’ll have that on week 1. end of the day….GS can play all the 5A and 6A schools they want and we will still measure them by how they do against Heritage Hills lol

I like the idea of this thread highlighting some mega producers I think we should do the same with passing. Probably set the bar at 300 yards passing. Just fun to see new names and teams

After 1 week. For Gibson Southern… Glad the group was tested heavily and for 4 quarters…Early on big plays hurt GS but the defense cleaned things up as the game went on… I think this was a game where both teams are glad they scheduled it and a lot was learned last night. Biggest takeaway from the stat sheet Tanner Boyd is that dude. Never easy replacing a successful QB from previous years…let alone Brady Allen…Kid came out and showed everyone he doesn’t need to be like anyone else. 23-29 for 180 yards and 2TDs….and then he put up another 130 yards on the ground for another 2TDs. I think it’s pretty darn impressive what he did last night in his first career start. On the road, 5A school, 4 Qtrs of a dogfight with a clutch drive to finish the game off with a W…I think if anyone had questions at QB or how the offense was going to be run…he answered them last night

After 1 Week according to Sagarin I’m a little surprised to see the Tri west below GS and Owen Valley but otherwise it’s week 1 and Sagarin isn’t close to being dialed in yet

Looks pretty good to me. Although I might want to push Mater Dei onto this list. i think if you have the #1 2A team you probably should have the #2…same with 3A and West Lafayette

GS 13 THS 13 halftime. unfortunately I’m just listening to the radio broadcast and something has come up requiring me to stop listening it’s been a great close game so far. Going to come down to the wire GS gets the ball to start the 2nd half

Gibson Southern 13 TH South 7 THS really is shooting themselves in the foot. Like they have moments where they can move the ball…but then a facemask or dead ball unsportsmanlike….bad punt snaps/bad punts. Update: Cottee takes a screen for 75 yard TD. Missed PAT GS 13 THS 13

TH South 7 Gibson Southern 6 Early 2nd QB keeper from Boyd for the TD. Botched snapped on PAT.

End of 1st TH South 7 Gibson southern 0 south kind of slow and methodical on offense. GS has ball starting 2nd Qtr

Terra Haute South 7 Gibson Southern 0 took open kick 54 yards and then slowly chipped away to open the game with a score

One of the coaches on here messaged me and clarified why maxpreps is like this. apparently maxpreps is often linked with hudl and even if a kid leaves the team and is removed from hudl, maxpreps won’t recognize it and will keep them on the roster. That + maxpreps will carry kids over who might have even graduated already from my understanding of what they clarified, unless a coach/whoever goes out of their way to make sure maxpreps matches their hudl, then it’s going to be inflated some….and that makes a lot more sense

117 might not be accurate though. Granted they are a big school…but yesterday I believe I was looking at Mt Vernon and they had listed over 120 kids on the roster. so like….idk maybe the maxpreps pages are accurate but I have a hard time believing Mt Vernon has 120+ kids….kinda like how Gibson Southern typically will list 50-70 kids on maxpreps but that usually doesn’t include the freshman. i know I brought it up but I’m starting to think maybe it’s still too early to discuss roster sizes until people see the teams lined up on the other side of the field on Friday nights

Oh you won’t ever hear me argue against letting kids go where they want lol.

So is Cottee not the QB? he’s listed as a sophomore QB on maxpreps but you are saying RB hes listed at 6’4 which fits the bill of a big RB as described. 17 wins since 2015 sure doesn’t seem like the right story haha….Sounds like a team ready to win some football games….But hey….that’s the way we like it. Nobody likes to see blowouts

Just make sure the film is clear for when you’re on defense lol. Nicot Burnett has been improving. Feel like he should already be a senior but he’s only a junior. my GS bias aside….I think nicot has to be a good shot at winning conference mvp this year….but…that’s usually an award for the best player on the best team…and mt Vernon certainly has to prove they are the best team first

Nah they all went to memorial instead of Gibson southern this year 😂😬

Maxpreps lists a roster size of 117…that’s pretty big. Would hope with that many kids on the team there would be a number of good players. To @tangopoint….kinda surprising to see a team that has only won 17 games since 2015….but has 117 players? Especially in todays game….getting 80 kids out for a program regardless of success is a tough thing to do. Coach must be doing something right there

I mean…hopefully. feels like this game is more about setting the tone and getting off on the right foot rather than in years past against columbus north where it felt like it was a game to measure how good the team is. I’m really interested to see how much pass/run there is and who steps up among the guys who have waited their turn for 2 years
