All good man. I enjoy the discussions with you. Sincerely hate it that GS lost. You guys on here are all good dudes and love your team like we love ours. Sucks when the season ends. 
 

Never fun when they lose but I really can’t think about anything other than just how OV played their absolute best game and earned that victory.  The refs didn’t help them and GS was as legit of a team as any in the southern part of the state.  
 

it honestly just reminds me of when Coach Hart was turning Gs around in 2012/2013.  Owen Valley might be a new yearly contender in 3A. 
 

Still sucks that the season ended for GS but we have seen this before and Coach Hart will have the titans prepared next year ready to make a run I’m sure.  
 

Memorial Vs Boonville should be fun though.  Feel like that game is going to be a lower scoring affair.  First to 24 points wins the game?

LOL, you can come at me all you want with your "receipts". I've been a big Boonville fan, but I did have doubts. I also said lack of discipline would eventually catch up to Reitz and I believe they had 4 PF in the 4th Q. I had doubts about Owen Valley too and boy was I wrong. By the way, undefeated Jasper lost in Round 1 last year to Northview, not Round 2, which means Jasper has only 1 playoff W in Coach Lewis' 4 years. That surprised me a little bit. 

Fair lol

im really not trying to come at you…but I don’t want to be told to stop commenting for talking about how things have played out ya know? 
 

i just find it really interesting that the last 2 years the “best” SIAC team might have not been the actual best when it comes to winning in the postseason.  If I have learned anything these last 6/7 years…it’s that memorial is a different animal in the playoffs and the regular season doesn’t mean too much

Ya cause didn't Heritage Hills prepare them very  well for an offense like this?

That was in reference to the wishbone aspect. Heritage Hills one of the best in the state with that offense and have been running it for like 50 years.  I swear the kids are born holding the playbook.  Doesn’t matter if they are undersized or whatever, they are very disciplined in that offense and their execution is consistently at a high level.  
 

that was the context of another users claim here.  In terms of the rest of OVs offense, GS just had to look in the mirror.  
 

didn’t matter at the end of the day though. This game was won because the OV DL dominated. The OV offense did what they had to win the game but it was really their defense that secured the win.

Just stop...

It’s not a jab dude

just pointing out the anomaly of the undefeated SIAC team losing 2 years in a row in round 2. It’s not a slight against the SIAC or memorial at all and I have No ulterior motives with talking about this 

But….since we are here….you really don’t want to see me commenting do ya?  I mean you were the biggest Boonville doubter this year and look at ya….just dead wrong about them lol  

should I ask for receipts? Lol

I cannot recall in the Coach Hart era that a GS team accumulated a net 6 yds rushing for a complete ball game… yeah I know something like 9 sacks but GS rushing game ran into a wall…. To me there in lies the difference…. GS dominated the passing game but couldn’t get a dominant rush to eat up the clock when they had the lead.

OV will not be an easy out for a SR or a HH!

This really says something too because the run game was Gibson Southerns strength this year.  Devan Roberts put on arguably one of the best pure rushing seasons GS has had in a while.  30 carry 200 yard games…he had an amazing senior year.  Boyd and Delong complimented the run game all year too when they weren’t working the receiving game. 
 

Their defense truly played their best 3 Qtrs of their lives after being down 14-0

I love keeping receipts on people haha 

kinda sucks though cuz it’s hard to go dunk on the SIAC guys for Reitz losing when GS got beat too.  
 

Two 10-0 conference champs losing in nail biter games on the road in round 2.  
 

Congrats to Boonville though!!!! Big win and playing for a trophy next week

same with Pike Central.  Deepest playoff run in school history.  
 

north posey Southridge Tecumseh and heritage hills all are playing for a sectional championship next week too!  
 

#1 PAC might be down but the rest of the PAC is going strong

Sounds like an inadvertent whistle. What was the status of the ball at the time the whistle was blown?

I’m not sure. GS broadcast said there was no whistle and then they said there was a whistle. The player I believe ran it all the way.  Refs discussed and brought it back.  OV fans were having none of it.  
 

if it was an inadvertent whistle….man o man  that ref is probably thankful it didn’t change the games outcome

Didn’t read it as a jab.
 

Can’t control the balls. I know a few years back they had to win some tough games on the road in 32.  Either way the last time Memorial didn’t play in a sectional ship is 2015. I think.  That’s more than the luck of ping pong balls. 
 

Credit to GS kids. It’s not easy to defend yet they found a way to win 10 straight games. That’s not easy with huge target on their backs. Looks like lots returning in 23.  

2015?!? That’s impressive considering the move up to 4A during that.

GS returns a lot of important players.  DL will be hit a little hard I think.  Sucks to lose but my biggest takeaway was that for over a year GS didn’t lose a single game and it was 21 or 22 straight wins.  And Owen Valley seems very much like GS was when Coach Hart was hired on so I gotta be happy for that community.  They were looking for a statement win like this.  They might be turning into a new 3A powerhouse by the looks of it.

Well obviously Owen Valley was the better team tonight, I'm asking for a breakdown of how the game transpired and what Owen Valley did well and what Gibson Southern didn't do well in the game.

GS was looking to go up 21-0 deep in OV territory.  Pick 6 

that play gave OV all the motivation they needed on defense.  From then on out it was tough sledding in the run game and any positive gains were met with sacks to force 3rd and longs.  GS was forced into 3rd down 17 times tonight and converted 38 % of them.  
 

their offense at time struggled but eventually they found their groove and it was 3/4/5 yard gains at a time and squeezing crucial conversions.  Offensively they did enough and they were comfortable punting the ball to GS because their defense was feeling it.  
 

Before that pick 6 it was 100% GS….but that pick 6 got 6000 OV fans fired up and that was the energy they needed

Anybody have SIAC and PAC champs getting beat tonight?  I sure didn’t.  

I had one but not the other.  
 

memorial has to love the ping pong balls though lol 2 years in a row they are on the opposite side of the undefeated SIAC champ and both years that team gets beat setting memorial up for a slightly easier run. (Not a jab just think it’s neat)

Per radio: OV blocks GS field goal.  Return for touchdown, official blows play dead negating score. 

Anyone there elaborate?

I think in HS it’s automatically a dead ball if blocked. Only live play if caught like kickoff?

One of those “this isn’t the nfl” rules in hs I guess.  I think OV still drove down the field for the score though.  Have to say they earned this win tonight.  There were a number of plays that GS had that could be considered lucky breaks where the official could have called a play a different way….they still kept fighting and earned everything tonight.

So OV defense played the game of their lives. 

I’m not sure anyone in the last 2 years has had as many sacks against Gibson Southern as they did tonight.  Monster game from them.  They stopped the run game and brought the pressure all night.  
 

i have to imagine that community is going absolutely bonkers right now and deservedly so.

Hate that Gibson southern lost but this streak of 21 or 22 straight wins has been amazing to follow along to.  Who knows if and when GS can create a streak of 20 + victories in a row against so many quality opponents.  It was a special run for sure.

GS will return a number of their players next year and I’m sure this is going to be some extra motivation in the offseason.  GS had amazing teams in 2014 and 2020 that fell short in the sectionals and they came back the following years with vengeance.  I think this current junior class is certainly up for doing something similar. 
 

anyways….Congrats Owen Valley!!!  Statement win and happy for the community.  Coach Gibson is one helluva coach and had this team ready.  I’ve been saying it all year….sometimes it doesn’t matter who you play…sometimes you just have the right dudes on a team that can make it happen.  Looking forward to seeing how far this Patriots team can go

Owen Valley is going to end Gibson Southerns streak of 22 straight win.

their defense after the 1st Qtr just came alive and they might have honestly finished with 10+ sacks…..which is so impressive.

Hats off to Owen Valley!  Most people gave them no chance but 6000 people from OV showed up tonight believing in them and they pull it off.

Owen Valley forces Gibson Southern to punt backed up deep with 6 minutes left.  OV was looking at going down 21-0 but are now up 28-21.  Their defense has been keeping them in this all night 

GS needs to get a stop and get the ball back to look to tie otherwise it’s not looking too good for the titans.

Owen Valley goes to respond to Gibson Southerns touchdown but on a 23 yard run near midfield, OV fumbles. GS jumps on it and quickly put the offense on the field and drive up field. Can’t find a way to punch it in on 3rd and goal.  On 4th and goal the GS kick is blocked.

Halftime

OVs DL had one helluva 2nd Qtr.  Pressure causing the pick 6 + multiple other sacks after that to kill GS drives.  It’s a ballgame that’s for sure. 
 

Owen Valley will receive the ball to start the 2nd half 

Owen Valley had seized some momentum from Gibson Southern.  After the pick 6 they forced GS to punt and put together a drive that was capped off with a 21 yard TD for OV.

GS was looking to go up 21-0 15 minutes ago but now it is all tied up 

14-14 3 minutes left until half 

Owen Valley really struggling to move the ball and forced to punt to Gibson Southern 

on the following drive GS was marching down the field but threw an int while under pressure. Int is a pick 6 and with that Owen Valley is on the board and it’s a 1 score game. 
 

GS 14 

OV 7 

8 minutes until half 

Owen Valley opening drive goes nowhere and forced to punt.  Delong returns the punt and it goes for a Td but a block in the back calls it back.

Gibson Southern puts together another drive capped off with another Boyd to O’Neal TD
