Justin Pelley... Not sure what defines "young"... In his 7th year as a HC.  

Should be a really good game.  HC QB has thrown for over 2200 yards (31 TDs & 8 Ints) looks like he spreads the ball around to his receivers and has a RB that has ran for over 1800. 

Wright has over 1100 yards passing (20 TDs & 3 Ints) and Webo has several different guys that can run the ball.  Taylor has nearly 850 rushing, Wethington almost 650, Wright has over 400, then you have Irion, Hole, Baird... 

Webo averages 40 a game and gives up 11.  HC Averages 35 a game and gives up 11.  

Looks to be a game on which D can stop the other O.

Congrats to Danville & Western Boone on Sectional Titles!  Danville will Travel to Vincennes Lincoln while Webo will host Heritage Christian for Regional Titles!

Potential Regional Match ups.  I too picked RC because of @Coach Nowlin

Western Boone is live Streamed via YouTube.  Search "WBTV Sports" and then find the match up of the game

Heritage Christian & Scecina is intriguing as well.  Obviously if Webo is fortunate enough to get by South Vermillion, we would play the winner in regionals.  

So.... What does South V do well offensively?  Who are their "dudes"?

Thorntown to Clinton should be a pretty good haul!

Rockville to Cayuga, not so much...

Dover to Clinton.  Webo to South Vermillion
 

77 Miles 1 hour 15 minutes

though the address for the Webo HS is Thorntown....

Any places to grab some grub around South Vermillion?

He played some tonight

If North Putnam can get their offense going they will have a chance. However, WEBO are the defending state champs and have had a good season. Obviously they are nothing like they were last year but the state title carries some weight. 

 

I am hoping for a NP and SV sectional championship!

I wouldn't say "they are nothing like they were last year..."   Still have some pretty good players... The D isn't giving up many points... Running Game is probably better this year... Haven't had to throw the ball as much doesn't mean they can't.....

You're being modest and I appreciate that!  One thing we learned about WeBo last year is that you guys come out and dominate the beginning of the game....it's hard for a team to recover from being down 4-5 TD's at halftime!  I think your stat of 38 pts per game paints a picture of the WeBo varsity offense being explosive and the varsit D stuffing people....while the 12 points per game means the JV offense is learning and getting experience while the JV defense closes the game out....  I listened to what Coach Pelley said after last week's victory and he eluded to this.

I honestly don't know what to expect.  My questions would be can North Putnam slow down the Webo Offense?  Can Webo slow down the NP passing attack?

What is the feeling here for Sectional 37?  I would like to see what people's thoughts are....thanks!

I know it is WeBo's show but can anyone put a chink in their armor?

I honestly have no idea what to expect.  We are giving up less than 12 points a game and scoring 38 and NP is giving up 24 a game while scoring 30.  

Should be a good game on Friday night.

The only player I distinctly remember was a 2-way player who was a RB and a LB. Don’t recall his name,  but I think he went to IU on a scholarship. Man, was he a load! I thought he was the best player on the field that night. One of the most physical HS football games I was ever a part of, and he was right in the thick of it.

From 1997-2002 Danville was 69-8 (2000-2002 they were 34-4) under Bob Copeland. 

They lost the Sectional Championship to Chatard in 97, 98, 01, and 02. In 99 they lost the State Championship to FW Luers and in 00 lost in Semi-State to Ev Mater Dei. Those were some darn good football teams Danville was pumping out.

@Bobref did that 2002 Danville team have a RB with last name of Powers?

It was Jake Powers.  He played at IU.

Close. I was the referee in the 2003 semistate game at AC against Seeger, when AC missed a chip shot field goal on the last play and lost 22-21. One of the best HS games I ever saw, and one of the games in our crew’s magical post-season run in 2003. Loved working at AC, and Rick Minnich was a great coach.

Better than Chatard/Danville in 01 (I think)?

I don't think Webo is the same team from week 2 (when Western beat them) to now. 

I don't think anyone would argue that Webo was deeper last year.... But I think they are a different team this year, Spencer doesn't have the numbers, but he hasn't had to either.  They have been running the ball down people's throats, but with Spencer back there (along with Hole, Garrity, and others) the threat of him throwing is still there.  So what do you stop?  Do you stack the box and make Spencer throw?  I like our chances... Do you play Nickel/Dime and take Spencer throwing the balll away?  I like our chances with Wethington/Taylor/Irion running the ball. 

They have many more guys going both ways, but other than the 1 point loss to Western they have beat everyone pretty handily (the Danville game wasn't as close as the score).  The Defense has been solid since the Western game and even with giving up 42 to them, they are still averaging less than 12 points a game.  

Sectional Draws:

4A SECTIONAL 22

Frankfort @ Indianapolis Roncalli

Lebanon hosts Western

3A SECTIONAL 28

Congrats to the Webo Stars who have claimed at least a share of the Sagamore Conference title and can win it out right at home on Friday against Lebanon

Yep.  I bet most people under the age of 50 didn't know the Sagamore Conference originally included Carmel, Noblesville, and Brownsburg (along with Crawfordsville, Lebanon, and Frankfort).  I know I didn't.  Carmel only shared the Sagamore title once before leaving which makes them the least decorated Sagamore Conference football program of all time.  I'm sure that really stings!

Anyway, I looked all this stuff up because I didn't know which team(s) historically had the most football championship.  I could have miscounted but here's how the teams stack up all time (through 2018):

 

1.  Danville (1999-present, 20 seasons) - 8 championships.  5 outright and 3 shared.

2.  Noblesville (1967-1980, 14 seasons) - 7 championships.  6 outright and 1 shared.

2 (t). Crawfordsville (1967-present, 52 seasons) - 7 championships.  6 outright and 1 shared.

2 (t). Tri-West (1999-present, 20 seasons) - 7 championships.  5 outright and 2 shared.

2 (t). Western Boone (1982-present, 37 seasons) - 7 championships.  5 outright and 2 shared.

3.  North Montgomery (1975-present, 44 seasons) - 6 championships.  4 outright and 2 shared.

3 (t). Lebanon (1967-present, 52 seasons) - 6 championships.  4 outright and 2 shared.

4.  Brownsburg (1967-1985, 19 seasons) - 5 championships.  4 outright and 1 shared.

5.  Frankfort (1967-present, 52 seasons) - 4 championships.  4 shared.

6.  Southmont (1985-present, 34 seasons) - 3 championships.  3 outright.

7.  Carmel (1967-1974, 8 seasons) - 1 championship.  1 shared.  

 

 

Webo actually has 8.

Frankfort is right.  I show them having 4 shared titles but none outright.  Lebanon has actually won the title outright 4 times and shared it another 2 times.  The other half of this answer is a perennial state power that was part of the conference originally but has not been in many decades.  They left with only 1 share of the title which technically makes them the least successful Sagamore Conference football team ever haha.  

The team that has never shared the title is a current member and has won it exactly 3 times.  

Carmel

Looks like Tri-West fans get to cheer for Danville for a change.  

Since this thread is kind of dead this year, I'll give a little Sagamore Conference trivia that I found interesting.

I believe every team in the history of the Sagamore Conference has won the football crown at least once.  However, 2 schools have never won it outright.  Can you name them?  

Also, every team in conference history has shared the title at least once except one.  All of their titles have been outright.  Can you name which one?

Anyone who knows this without looking it up has my sincere respect.  

I'll bite.... Frankfort and Lebanon-- Never won it outright...   North Montgomery has never shared it.

Complete guesses on my part.
