    Well the Regional between Sectional 15 and Sectional 16, won’t be all that good. These are the 8 teams that can win it.

     

    Floyd Central. Jeffersonville. New Albany. BNL. Bloomington North. Bloomington South. Castle. Evansville North.

     

     

    Not 1 of those teams can hang with New Pal or Cathedral. Bloomington North is probably the best of that group on paper and they won’t have a chance.

    I agree 100%

  2. I've kept meaning to post this since Friday night but kudos to Jeffersonville's Champions Together program. Before the game stated a Special Olympian Jeremy Singleton was in uniform and fully suited up in Red Devils gear. Both Jeffersonville offense and BNL defense lined up at the 20 and he ran the football for a touchdown.

    That stuff warms my heart and I love to see it.

    What happened? Did Jeff become the Jeff of old and give it away or does the credit go to BNL for playing like a different team in the second half?

    BNL played much better after Jeff fan the second half kickoff back for a TD. 
     

    Jeff got a bit tired and has several holding penalties but didn’t turn the ball over once. 
     

    Jeff missed a 29 yard FG to tie the game at the end. I’d assume they have improved as the season has went forward. They seem to have a good head coach whose instilling some discipline. I hope he can get the support he needs. But I thought the same about Glesing going there last year.

    This isn't meant as a knock on BNL but I still have no idea how they lost to Madison. Makes less sense to me than quantum mechanics.

    If you can figure that out you can solve the health care, immigration and the gun control issues that we face in our country. No matter what BNL should not have lost that game at home. Only positive I can find from it is no excuses were made.

    Congrats on being 3-6. I’m sure you’re thrilled.

    It’s Indiana everyone makes the postseason. 
     

    FC is the sectional favorite 

    I’ve not seen New Albany play

    either BNL or Jeffersonville can beat Floyd. 
     

    Stars are thin in personnel as we have said since the inury bug hit in preseason but I’ve never heard an excuse from a single person on the sidelines. 
     

    We will see what happens in two weeks

    I will repeat what I said earlier Jeffersonville has a better DL than Floyd.

    I don't know about you guys but, if we're not going to give the regular season any merit come tourney time (qualification system, seeding, better teams get home field, etc.), I'm not a fan of having a team play at the same school twice in a season. We've already seen BNL at Floyd Central. Why can't we get Floyd Central at BNL? All three of East's sectional games last year were just repeats of the regular season: vs Seymour, at New Albany, at BNL. I mean, it's not really a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but it would just be nice if we could go home/away on repeat match-ups.

    I’d settle for that compromise.

    BNL is traveling to Jeff this week, then the bye week and then back to Floyd. 

    You have to play the hand you are dealt but that drive 😬

    I disagree. BNL couldn’t stop Tristan Polk untill he sprained his ankle. They couldn’t cover Calvin Brown, and they couldn’t cover Kaleb Quenichet. And that’s in the rain. They really couldn’t move the ball on Floyd when their defense really locked in. The weather played a factor for both teams of course. But Floyd is a lot more explosive on offense than they were due to high wind and a lot of rain.

    Were you at the game?

    Absolutely BNL came out flat...after that the game was evenly played.  

    Can’t control the weather...

    I guess BNL is better at handling punts and executing PATs and the like. 
     

    Maybe work on that between now and November 1. It could be another cold and rainy night. But at least we will know if it’s the elements that would be the cause should BNL lose absolutely nothing to do with how a team executes in said elements. 
     

    Floyd will absolutely be the favorite at home and should be, but I firmly believe that BNL can win the game.

    No dog in this fight, but I wouldn’t sleep on Jeff or NA come sectional time. Floyd seems the most solid team and BNL hasn’t really showed anything special- consistent from coaching- but nothing that tells me they should be. Sectional champion contender.

    we all know it’s tough to beat BNL at home as the stripes always seem to be one sided there. Last time I was there - Seymour won but only after the officials threw bogus flags on every 4th down BNL play and clock keeper added time 3 times on the final drive as BNL was marching for the win only to throw an interception at the goal line. Ref’s were escorted off. Seems to be that way every time we play there.

    You bet officials who drive in from Salem or Greenwood are dead set on throwing a high school football game. 

    Maybe it’s age but I’m glad I don’t get worked up about officials as much as I used to. Do officials miss calls? Absolutely, do they intentionally screw a team on a Friday night I don’t buy it whatsoever.  I’m tired on a Friday night after working all week. These officials work 50+ hours a week at their real jobs and then come out on Friday nights because they love the game. 
     

    I do agree that the sectional is wide open I believe any of the 4 teams could win it. Outside of Wenker Floyd doesn’t have anything that BNL, Jeff of NA can’t match up against. 
     

    It also seems that the young NA team is improving each week as they gain experience and BNL is slowly getting healthy and showing some continuity on offense minus the few kids that are out for the season. 
     

    I think any of the 4 could win the sectional and Floyd should be the favorite.

    Sure they are. The weather conditions played a huge part. BNL caught about every break they could in this game. Even Polk getting hurt on what I thought looked like a late hit with no flag.

    I hear excuses from FC fans every year. 
    Coach Weber is building a program and you didn’t hear a peep of an excuse from either our sidelines or fans when we lost to Madison.  
    Tonight two evenly played teams battled on the football field and you offer nothing but excuses. 
     

    East struggles with Seymour and no excuses from their camp. 

    Hope we get another crack at Floyd in the sectionals.
