160-180 SoS is very very generous lol. I believe most of the PAC has been playing a 220ish SoS according to sagarin. At least that is what I can recall over the last few years. deeper playoff runs definitely boost that metric for the PAC. Agreed otherwise that the PAC has shown SoS isn’t everything. Sometimes you are just a really good team that can compete with everyone in your class

Something that may be worth noting this week....Coach Hart has the chance to tie the great Jack Jewell for most wins all time at Gibson Southern should they come away with the win vs Boonville. Of course this doesn’t take into account that Coach Jewell also coached at Ft. Branch High School before consolidation happened to create GS. I think he had 120ish wins total including Ft. Branch. Just thought it was interesting considering this is only year 9 with Coach Hart and he is knocking at the door of this achievement. Big game this week with Boonville. They are a good team. Hopefully we can get it done. here are the Gibson Southern Coaching records over the years

I believe the JV/Freshman games were played at GS. But those who attended the varsity game would know the travel times

Lordy. defense optional

I don’t have a twitter but on Friday nights I check the grids twitter to see some scores I’m curious about if they are not in the scores thread.

If this is true I hope other school ADs/coaches see this and refuse to schedule them. Just ridiculous. cancel for Covid, nobody will have any issues with it and everyone will understand. cancel because you rather find someone else closer to you than honor your end of a 2 year contract....absolutely no respect from me on that

Is it really off? Because I’m seeing Southport vs Columbus north is being played this week and I haven’t seen anything about a cancellation besides just here. At least nothing put out by the schools/local media...maybe it’s still on?

Predictions are definitely all out of wack right now. sagarin has Southridge as a top 10 team overall in the state. Nothing to take away from them as they look to have a great team but being ranked in the top 10 overall is very very high for a 2A school playing up. Basically being put with the likes of some of the best Chatard teams of the last decade being that high up. generally I have seen the top 3A teams (outside of chatard) ranked somewhere between 20-64. again not to take away anything from Southridge. Just that at this point for this year we have to use the good ole eye test and know a thing or two...rankings don’t have the answers yet and probably won’t for the first half of the season

I think the dude brings it back after a few weeks...I think people ask every year where it is early on

You guys graduated 21 of 22 or something and like everyone else were left without much of an offseason. It will take some time and I’m sure the leadership will establish soon enough with the tough start. One of the kids will step up for the entire locker room soon enough

What a save of an upset

Am I missing something or......is there sarcasm or a joke here? Or... either there is some major confusion....there is a typo with the teams....this is a big tongue in cheek comment....or the region journalism is about a week behind to figure things out lol

Gibson Southerns game vs Whiteland has officially been moved to Saturday at 2 central due to weather

Hey guys. I’m not here to talk the ins and outs of Covid and mask mandates. We all know What’s going on and this and that I’m simply asking people to put their shopping carts back where they go so they don’t roll into someone else’s car. 😉😉😉

Yes this thing

This is one of those “you’re suppose to return the shopping carts to where they belong” things. will anything happen if you don’t? Nope. But what does it say if you refuse to and just leave it in a parking spot at least that is my thoughts on it lol.

For Gibson southern vs Whiteland. All tickets must be purchased ahead of time. No sales at the gate. 50% capacity is allowed right now. 400 tickets remain and they go on sale tomorrow at 8am. I have to imagine that most of this season there will be no gate sales and it will be a “purchase in advance” thing the week of the games

Lol I’m just saying in the grand scheme of things for a smaller team looking to build momentum to start a season, having GS was rough. Would have at least been better as a mid to late season game but week 1 was rough. Glad we have the new PAC where teams have the flexibility for their schedules. Also gives some of the smaller schools a chance to develop a tradition. Especially for a team like pike central who has just been down for a bit and wasn’t given much of a chance to get some enthusiasm to get more kids out playing. I personally think the small PAC is going to be the most fun to watch as I think that there will be more competition and say over a 10 year period there could be 4/5 conference champions.

Exactly. And many of us have to recognize that for the previous 8 years GS has opened the season with an average of like 56-6 victory over forest Park and about the same vs south Spencer...in games where the score was 28/35-0 in the 2nd quarter and still growing...we have been so accustomed to GS starting the season strong that it’s surprising to see a loss before week 4

To add on to what T32 has said, I believe GS had 10 or so drives and only 2 were 3 and outs. But otherwise we basically moved the ball 25 on average before stalling. And I don’t even want to know how many dropped passes there were that would be put us in CN territory. outcome probably doesn’t change and you can’t get away from the fact that they ran for nearly 400 yards...but the offense will probably be just fine going forward as they continue to mesh and get the chemistry. That’s why I say I wouldn’t be surprised if the game is more high scoring. Hopefully not. Would like to not see Whiteland running at will lol

I see the comments about Whiteland and sure they might be a good Whiteland team....I’m just not sure it’s going to be one of those where they can name the score. GS can move the ball and did so vs Columbus North. the problem GS had was they couldn’t stop the run....which is where Whiteland succeeds. don’t be surprised if this is a higher scoring game. Uphill battle for Gs for sure though. Can’t give up 300/400 rushing yards and expect to win lol. That just doesn’t happen

I mean. Brady Allen finished with 20-37 for 211 yards and 1 touchdown No turnovers. Opening possession they were first and goal at the 1 and were stopped. The game played out where GS was able to move the ball a little bit. Then they got to midfield and were forced to punt. CN then was able to just run run run and put another TD up. Score says it was a blowout but it was more of a steady feed of scores from CN instead of GS being completely unable to do anything.

4 sophomores on the OL bodes well for the next few years! Having that chemistry will make for an easy life for whoever is under center or running the ball.

Well I know 1 thing is for certain. When the titans face off vs the patriots.....nobody is going to be caring about the win loss record lol. Sleep on the either team and they will send you home with a loss

Nailed it. except for Lawrence North. I would be very worried if I was the other 6A teams lol
