Offintheyard

5 passing TDs allowed, 6 INTs. Doesn't matter how many yards they gave up if the other team can't score. Try to keep up.

And? Culver may be giving up more yards but through 5 games last year they were giving up 40.4 ppg. This year they are giving up only 20.8. Doesn't matter how many yards they give up if the other team can't score. Should be an interesting game nonetheless.

Having coached at schools that are in a conference, I am all for it. It creates some good rivalries and definitely helps with scheduling. It also gives the kids something to shoot for.

Some do, some don't. We are going through a change in AD's at the moment. Hopefully this will be a point of contention. We already play most of those schools in sports anyway.

Been on there for years. Never posted anything though. It's a good place to get a little bit of good basketball information if you can weed through all of the Jr. high name calling and I'm better than you are crap that is on there daily.

Crispus Attucks at Pioneer, Panthers win in a rout Glenn at Knox, Redskins win in a decent game. Probably by 2 scores LaVille at Caston, Lancers in a rout Triton at Culver Cavaliers take care of business by 3 scores Winamac at North Judson Tossup. Jays by 3

Careful, @Coach Nowlin could be watching you. He's sneaky like a ninja. 🤣

Ditto. Not much to consider this week. NJ/Knox could be the most interesting game as they always play each other tough no matter their records or how they matchup on paper.

Caston @ Triton Nice to see that the numbers are up at Caston. However, Triton will win this with no problem. 42-7 Knox @ Culver Knox is good but haven't been overly impressive in their victories over 2 mediocre teams at best. Culver's defense has some major holes. I think Knox will roll into rivalry week 3-0. Redskins win 28-14 North Judson @ North Newton Flip a coin in this one. I'll go with the Spartans 28-27 Winamac @ North White Warriors finally get some points this week but I think NW will put up a few themselves. Warriors get the W 35-21 Pioneer @ LaVille Lot of chatter about this one. Perennial power vs the up and comer. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Yes Pioneer lost but they lost to a pretty good Cass team. LV is looking tough in their wins. I realize Pioneer is "king of the hill" and it sounds like some of the picks are based off of tradition. Last time I looked, tradition never played or won any games. The Lewellens are great athletes and will be tough to stop. LV has some athletes of their own. Both teams have great coaches. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if either team wins this. Pioneer has to lose in the HNAC at some point and I think Laville has the best shot this year. I'll go with the up and comer. LV wins 28-26

My guess is that CMA doesn't bring a large gate so they aren't really ever considered. Road attendance has improved in football and basketball but only because of recent success. Most years CMA doesn't exactly strike fear into their opponents. In fact, they would be evenly matched most years to Bremen, St. Joe, Marian, Glenn and the SB schools. There are already some nice rivalries with St Joe, Marion and most recently with Bremen. It would be nice to develop more with Jimtown, Glenn and others. It also seems that the powers that be are luke warm on the topic of joining a conference. Not sure why as this would help with scheduling. CMA travels quite far for some games and struggles to schedule others. Maybe with the new AD, things might change. The nice thing about your idea is that if these schools could form a conference, they wouldn't necessarily lose their competitive advantages come playoff time.

Would love to see that happen.

On paper, all of the games should be ho hum. If Culver hangs on to the ball, they win going away. Culver big over SC Knox has no problem with Rochester this year. Knox big over Rochester LV has to focus on the team in front of them. As long as that happens then LV wins. LaVille big over Triton The HNAC could see it's first 2 mercy rule games this week. Pioneer makes a statement after week 1. Pioneer mercy rules Winamac NJ just too much for Caston. Judson mercy rules Caston

Their futbol teams too.

I think you might need a bigger cup of coffee 😁 I don't think Triton will make it out of their Sectional.

Knox Redskins too.

He's from Fort Wayne. Not sure what school he would have attended. Snider? Luers? Dwenger?

Deontae Craig of Culver Military has chosen to play at Iowa. He had offers from ND, The Ohio State, Tennessee, Mich St, Northwestern, Indiana and several other D1 schools. Congrats to this young man. https://culverathletics.com/news/2019/8/16/varsity-football-deontae-verbal-annoucement-draft.aspx

That's a really good get for Coach Mason and MC.

Ok?

That could be. Football would have been very interesting between Bremen and Pioneer, Laville and Knox. Glenn could benefit from some of the competition. Basketball wise, the conference is pretty weak outside of Knox, Laville and Winamac. Glenn and Bremen would definitely bring up the competition level in the conference and probably help them in some sports. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Laville, Triton, Knox, Culver Community, Winamac, Pioneer, North Judson, Caston Pretty competitive small school conference. Bremen and Glenn would add to that but is that in their best interest? Just curious what other options has Bremen talked about?

With rumors swirling about Glenn and Bremen jumping ship to the HNAC, does the NIC contemplate replacing them or continuing with 10?
