Being thousands of miles away, your stuff is so interesting to read. Idk how you do it - going back & watching actual tape or interviewing the collective dozens - but it’s eye-opening to see such a wide swath from a single author. Kudos, my friend. An Ace, indeed. 😎👍

A not-so-massive HCC update from Beaver (aka Miller) Stadium: Zville’s second string scores on Nville’s third/unclassified string. 35-10, Noblesville. Final For the sake of relativity, the last time the Millers dominated an opponent like they did tonight, one would have to go back to 2017, when they beat HH 45-0; but an in-conference domination like they displayed tonight goes all the way back to 2014. 😮 Tonight’s game being a not-insignificant reversal of a 39-7 drubbing mere weeks ago. Hats off 🎓to coach prep + physical/mental conditioning of the players. Edit: this comment doesn’t belong here, but I’ll throw the 🥊 down anyway: the HCC is the preeminent football conference in IN.

Holy crap. How much time?

Another game over call: Noblesville 35 Zionsville 3 End of Q3.

Well-said bc no one wants to be the first to wear that hat, so I’m with you. Indeed, it’s why I hope to have the winning lotto ticket for tomor’s draw in my car: so I can get back into shape & go be a HS referee. It’s either that, or just mowing the lawn Gump-style. 😉

I’m going to switch to this game lol. Far more exciting, even if I don’t have a fav in it.

Noblesville 28 Zionsville 3 Just like everyone predicted. 🙄 End of half. Noblesville 4/4 on possessions, went for it on 4th & 2 from their own 17, made it. A temperature-setting play for this game, if I’ve ever seen one of those before.

Noblesville 14 Zionsville 0 End of Q1

Lol that was fast. Both of them.

I actually forgot to check back to see if it was permitted - the second quarter happened So. Dang. Fast. 😳 - and things quickly got out of hand lol. Yeah, quite a smack down statement. Anyway, I’ll pay better attention to the scores thread & keep such posts there. 😎👍

I know it’s not tourney time, and you dudes have some pretty dang rigid rules, flexibly-applied lol. Is this an ok place to post RT scores or no? If not, I’ll delete. If so, BB 7 Zville 3 BB driving & inside 5. End of Q1.

Shifting classes will do that, right? Esp when dealing with schools that are “historically strong” or have a success factor to consider. I think both of the FW schools you cited have the right elements going for them this season (solid), the last few (ppl here are ALWAYS gonna challenge SoS lol), and the actual frequency with which FW is rep’d @ Semi… and for sure @ State.

Last week was indeed a true competition vs Wfield, but having watched both games, I felt it wasn’t the same sort of game. Zville ran rough wild & only by their own mistakes was this not a blowout in the papers. One step @ time… & you’ll be fine.

Took me awhile to dig up my login credentials and I know games have already started, but I’ll go with: HSE 17+ BBurg 24+ Fishers 10+ Zionsville (in fairness it’s a game I’m watching WHMB GoTW & it’s 6-3 Rocks, 11:50 to go in 2d right now). I think most of us are going to do better than Kyle N. from the Star with our limited thread sample lol.

Done & sorry for my delay. Thanks for the reminder. I forgot abt this, but have brought my “debt” current lol. Really only came here tonight bc google just told me the Carmel-CG to HCC news. 😮

Someone else will probably have to be relied on for a more accurate answer (I haven’t set foot in IN for 10+ years & simply don’t follow it that closely), but here’s how I understand it: Z-vile & maybe even Cathedral were considered to be bumped up a class in the last season or two, but due to CV, that decision was tabled. A reasonable conclusion. It is likely - although still undecided as of last night, based on what the announcers said - Zionsville will go to 6A next year. ZCHS used to alternate between the biggest school in 2A or the smallest in 3A & now they’ve taken their bouncing game up to the two biggest classes… but it definitely seems 6A is where they’re headed for a more permanent classification. Short of any unplanned consolidations or other surprise enrollment +s elsewhere, of course. 🤷‍♂️

That’s a great dang vid! 🤩 Field-level action is always the best… especially when playing in the sloppy elements. Totally get what you mean a full-time job… editing is a thankless duty. Well done!

Cathedral wins 34-14. The Irish QB will be a force the next 2 years. Tough contest. Well-played.

Irish quick drive, resulting in a short TD pass. 31-14.

Zville 30 yd TD pass on 3rd down. Three for three third-down conversions on the drive after a Cathedral fumble. 24-14, 8:51 to go.

Cathedral 4 plays, 83 yds, 1:06 drive, 4 yd TD. 24-7, 5:12 in Q3. Colin Price has not been in since about halfway through Q2. Reinjured his leg, sadly.

Cathedral short FG, now up 17-7. 8:52 on the clock.

🤷‍♂️ I wouldn’t call it “management” tho. Lol But that’s the half: still 14-7.

4:14 to go in the half. Cathedral 7 yd TD run, leading 14-7.

End of Q1. Both teams have had the ball 3x, both have scored once. Zville starting Q2 with the ball. Pass for first down, Price with a big run for another. Ball down the Irish 40.
