Interesting. I was thinking about this after seeing the other thread about success at younger years vs the same school systems being an indicator for the future. it would seem to at least hold true here. obviously a lot still plays into this but interesting none the less

Curious. Does anyone know how this current GS senior class did vs Southridge as 7th, 8th graders, and freshmen?

I have to believe that GS not being able to travel this offseason really put them back on defense. Don’t know if our pass defense is bad but that’s probably because teams don’t pass much vs us...but I think the secondary/LBs in years Past have really benefited from going into the year having everything in place with hundreds upon hundreds of reps. Feels like this year they have had to scramble to learn both the run and pass against a tough schedule to open the season.

This week is going to be interesting vs HH. I know most teams including GS usually pull out a specific defense to stop the wish/flex bone and GS has shown their strategies to work. But at the same time the defense is struggling to stop the run. i think GS scores 35 at least. But how much will HH score. Should be a good game to watch

I understood his statement on radio as to him being a student DJ and him having the theme for the week when he was a student (I assume he attended Heritage Hills) listening to the radio I just got the idea that he was there in the late 80s and played welcome to the jungle for one of the games and it stuck...this was only a 2-3 sentence statement he made in air and I don’t know if he actually attended Heritage Hills..but it’s at least how I understood it.

No arguments here offensively GS is strong enough they should definitely be ranked. But defensively they should be unranked at this point. so #10 seems right

Depends on how much they sub in and out really. I would say it’s mostly minimal....BUT watching the broadcast. When they put Braden Tucker in on defense that made a massive difference against Southridge. Southridge had to resort to end arounds more with him in there and the only times Southridge stalled out and what not was when Tucker was in on defense. but I only seen him come in occasionally...situational substitution basically....beyond that I’m unsure. Tucker plays RG and DT

If it was the stream on tristatehomepage then yes you heard it....something about him being a DJ for a game or something and he went with that theme for that night and it stuck. I have no idea if any of it is true. But it’s what he said

Something has to change with the defense....scheme....personnel....play calls...I don’t know. This offense is elite with Brady. Can make all the throws and just march the team downfield. The one 28 yard pass to Murfin was a thing of absolute beauty. The team can score on anyone I believe... but the defense....something is just not right. 5 games in and teams have rushed for.....393, 325, 437, and 383. we have 4 more weeks before playoffs to get this fixed otherwise we are basically looking at trying to just win shootouts....which don’t get me wrong, this offense is very capable of doing....it’s just not ideal. put up 350+ yards vs a great Southridge defense..still not enough...and it’s simply because Southridge is a great team. Great offense....and a great defense that did enough to just stall out a few drives and capitalize with a rushing touchdown soon after. the stops in the redzone just before half to preserve the 27-21 lead were crucial...opening half with another score...forcing 2 turnover on downs in the second half....just a solid effort by the raiders in facing a great offense and just making the most of important situations. So good they didn’t need to force a turnover. Just played solid. btw that gasser kid looked great tonight. Man does he have some wheels. on to heritage hills who has to be licking their chops. Gotta step up this week!

👀👀👀. Wow

3A looks to be super close this year again....outside of Chatard who I’m sure we can all agree is probably a step above the rest.

Quiet week even though this weeks slate looks packed with potential for great games. I do enjoy that this year with the new alignment that a wider variety of teams are finding success. Through 4 weeks I would say the PAC as a whole is the big winner.

As a big stat nerd I would love nothing more than for all HS teams to accurately report all of their numbers every week.

3 of the top 4 from indiana i pulled a screenshot since the formatting above is a bit rough to read

Yeah they certainly try to be more balanced of an offense than what the stats make you believe. maybe about the same/a bit more than what a typical Southridge team will try to pass the ball...run focused still but have enough pass game to try to keep ya honest.

Maybe the message GS put out was only for the visitor side. I just interpreted them selling at the gate + standing room only tickets just meant that there would be no limits. a little confusing if they are expecting stand room only tickets to sell but are limiting their seats. but then again navigating a football season during Covid is confusing too haha

Good question! I believe someone in the offseason gave an answer but I can’t remember it now lol

L O L

Top 5 play here! I’m sure there will be more to come. Just hopefully not another one week 9 😉

Just seen that Southridge is not pre selling tickets and they will be selling at full capacity it seems at the gate. 2000 bleacher tickets and standing room only after that. Not sure I agree with this, but I’m sure it’s going to be a packed house come Friday

Yes! For the love of god they need to move it to 3 WRs.

If Linton wants to win they have to either: A) run a track meet and simply outscore boonville B) have 11 hats on the football when Mockobee is the ball carrier. The kids contact balance is superb. He has a slippery spin move and a good stiff arm. He has the speed, the power, the agility.....so put 11 hats on the football or be put on a poster for a week after the game as people watch Mockobee have a top 10 play lol HH and GS had guys in position....it wasn’t enough. You have to have multiple guys there and they have to make a solid tackle.

Yeah sectional 28 of 3A is a mile ahead of anyone. great teams and like 4 of the top 8 3A teams are in there. I believe last year 3 of the top 5 were in that sectional and between sectional 28 and 32, 8 of the top 10 3A team were represented. 28 is unfair to those in it...but also...kinda fair to the rest of the 3A? Lol

To be fair, SR and HH faced a boonville team with guys out (SR and HH had guys missing too don’t get me wrong) but from all accounts so far GS faced a full strength Boonville team last night...and I know we are missing a few kids. I think moving forward we will see GS play a few players two ways because they just make the difference...wouldn’t be shocked to see Braden Tucker become basically the Mark Doyle of 2020 I think Bryant was playing in the secondary a good bit last night too. criticisms are fair but I’m not worried. Coach will have these guys battling because I think it’s becoming apparent that some of these kids on offense are willing to play both ways and will fight for those positions. We are now on to week 5 and facing Southridge...and by all accounts Whiteland was the 5A version of SR so I’m more optimistic we have a game plan that works. Should be another great game!
