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. GS 21 OV 14 5 minutes left in 3rd Qtr

Owen valley opens the 2nd half but nothing going. Go to punt and it’s a moon ball that bounces backwards and results in a 2 yard punt very next play Tanner Boyd finds Cole McKee for a 39 yard TD Gibson Southern 21 Owen Valley 14 9:04 left in 3rd

Gibson Southern 14 Owen Valley 14 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 GS 14 OV 0 4:35 left in 1st Qtr

Gibson Southern @ Owen Valley OV wins toss and defers GS receives and puts together a solid drive with mostly passing. They convert a 4th and 7 for a 23 yard TD pass from Boyd to O’Neil GS 7 OV 0 8:12 left in 1st

It’s looking like he will be fighting for the starting spot with a kid named Michael Alaimo next year…I think Alaimo is a redshirt junior next year. i would have to believe that he is favored currently because next year will be year 4 for Alaimo and he hasn’t been on the field much at all the last 3 years despite the QB room having many opportunities to move up. That’s about as much as I know though. Still has to go out there and earn the job…and then he has to keep the job. I’m sure he’s up for that task though

I know there is seriousness to this…but…if Brady Allen didn’t play QB he would have played basketball and would have been a top recruit there. Don’t think there was a chance he would have played WR. Coming in as a freshman, I believe he was a blue chip prospect for basketball but ultimately chose to focus on football. Obviously it worked out well for him. But imo, if he wasn’t playing QB, he would have played basketball.

I know you’re joking here but on a tangent here, didn’t coach hart win a state title with Reitz, go to Western Ky and then was the OC for Warren Central when they won a state title in like 2009 or something? Coach Gibson has a nice resume himself getting to where he is but now I’m trying to remember Coach Harts. I just remember sitting in the gymnasium 11 or so years ago and Principle Adams (then AD) was giving us a list of his accomplishments before introducing Hart as the new HC. figure there is no better time to ask this question than now when the topic is being discussed haha

4 more TFL would I think tie the single season TFL record set by his older brother

That was a nice interview. I really liked Coach Gibsons comment saying (paraphrased) “anyone who says this is just another game doesn’t know championship football. It’s not just another game…you have to earn it all year to get a game like this and you have to play championship football to win these games” just watching this interview shows that OV is coming in looking for a brawl and expecting to win. Neither team is overlooking the other…Seems like the OV community has bought in completely so it’s going to be an absolutely packed house knowing GS fans are going to show up in numbers too.

I just know that MSC while it doesn’t have a favorable record vs the PAC….they sure do give the PAC good games with great teams…and if they can just find a way to be better than their PAC opponents they could easily find themselves at LOS. i think the PAC has had 3 different teams in the last 5 years make it to the state finals…2 championships with 5 trips to semi state? So the idea is if they can beat the PAC they can make it to the state championship

I think it’s pretty cool that OV has been producing media like this all year. I’ve seen it on Twitter and Facebook on multiple pages. sure it’s nothing too crazy but I just like that a school/program is doing something small for extra media. kinda miss that with GS from last year. Last year GS had an amazing broadcast going and the guy doing it would dub over highlights with his radio call for special moments like when Brady Allen became the all time passing TDs leader for Indiana or when the clock hit zero vs Tri west and he was saying “pack your bags, your Gibson southern titans are going to the state championship” just little stuff like this I think can really show how much a community cares about their team.

I think you are new here but this is just how 3A is and why it’s so fun to follow. Lots of great teams and lots of great games. Every year there are plenty of 3A teams who would do very well in 4A or even 5A sometimes and come playoff time it gets wild. lately the state championship games for 3A have been some absolute thrillers. West Lafayette vs Memorial a few years back probably highlights these and might have been one of the best championship games of all time

Yeah those two definitely would make a world of difference. They will be fun to follow next year…and probably a little bit scary come playoffs…hopefully the bracket is divided nicely and we don’t see a VL/OV or VL/GS before week 12 again

I didn’t think there was that much difference but maxpreps/sagarin/massey all favor HH schedule by a lot more over Charlestown what I never understood…Charlestown is not far from Louisville and Cincy….and yet they don’t bother with games from those metros idk maybe I’m talking out of my rear but I feel like Charlestown is a program that is routinely pretty good but they could take it another step if they did something with their schedule. Same with Btown central

The shuffling of 3A on this list has been fun to follow all year. some weeks it’s Chatard GS WL next week it’s GS WL Chatard. im kinda eager to see how these 3A teams handle tomorrow and going forward…but like the rankings here have reflected…no clear favorite and it changes week to week just based on their performances

To be fair to Vincennes…last years team would have been smoked by this years VL team I think. Their record of 4-6 really doesn’t do them any justice….and with the pieces they are returning they are expected to be a contender for the SIAC next year

….I didn’t even realize Charlestown is 10-0….and @hhpatriot04has Charlestown as 3.5 point underdogs lol

lol Maybe! tbh…I kinda enjoy the radio broadcast. I’m younger than most of you guys but I genuinely enjoy listening to a good game on the radio. Friday nights I have my headphones in doing housework or whatever. Wife seems to like it too lol me cleaning and being quiet 😂

I think I would be okay with mr football for every class. But I don’t want it to just be whoever makes it to state at the lower levels like the mental attitude award is for. for the most part though…I really only see 6A fans complaining about who won on a year….it really bugs the 6A fans when a small school player wins it from my perspective.

Mr football is possible for any football player 1A-6A you can argue about who the better player is but I don’t think there has been or will be another player with the credentials that Jack Kiser had. 56-2 over 4 years as a starter He led his entire team in Passing, Rushing, Return Yards, Tackles, INTs FOR 3 STRAIGHT YEARS. The kid literally did everything including the kicking/punting for his team and he put up ridiculous numbers doing so. He won Mr Football and was deserving of it. Never left the field and was the darling of his community…absolutely amazing role model and stand up citizen off the field. We can stop talking about how someone else should have won it over him because he was the embodiment of what everyone wants out of a star football player and was “Mr Football” more than anyone. The kid literally played QB, RB, WR, DE, LB, SS, K, P and was great at all of them. The most Position-less player this state has probably ever seen I say all of this knowing I have David bell on every single one of my fantasy teams and love watching him play to death. But let’s stop disrespecting Jack Kiser just because he played 1A in HS and isnt in the nfl currently.

OL definitely gets the shaft.

I’m just saying….if you believe that David bell being in the nfl is an argument for why he should have won mr football….you’re a full blown idiot. the award is about their high school performance and their representation of Indiana football….it includes statistical accomplishments over a season and a career….but it has absolutely nothing to do with the number of stars a player has on their recruiting profile nor does it have anything to do with their nfl potential. it’s honestly irritating reading these comments because it’s hindsight BS with zero to no logic other than you can read a 247/rivals report….congrats
