Stars about to receive 

After 3

BNL 16

Seymour 14

Stars lead 10-0 at half 

Stars lead 7-0 after 1

Offense has looked much better at the start of tonight’s game 

East is a football juggernaut 

I don’t see changing conferences just for one sport. But that’s just my opinion. 

As for tonight 

Seymour over BNL

Jennings over Madison 

East over NA

Floyd over Jeffersonville

Losing a lot of key players off of last year's team has to factor in a bit though.

Not tonight it didn’t but yes the talent level is of course down some. 

Tonight was heart and effort. BNL was stronger and faster than Madison. 

Madison had more heart and I’ll give them credit for that. 

Coach Weber and his staff are top notch. 

We are seeing first hand what happens with kids who don’t work in the off-season and in the weight room in season. 

The Sophomore & Freshmen class is loaded with talent. Good days ahead but some major bumps along the way. Still can fix some of this but need so leaders to rise from the ashes (and parents to support the efforts of the coaching staff)

Stars lose 21-20

No excuse for the lack of execution by offense.

Madison has scored on a defensive holding that resulted in a safety. A FG after a snap went over punters head and Cubs got 3. Then a drive by Cubs for a TD then a pick 6 on the first play from scrimmage on the next drive. 

Stars are in trouble. 

The Stars losing after 3

21-19

About as an uninspired performance I’ve ever seen from a group of high school boys. 

Stars give up a safety on a hole in end zone and and have one other offensive possession and trail Madison at half 2-0

BNL has had two possessions in first quarter...missed FG and interception

0-0 after 1

Madison doesn’t look like a better team but they look like a hungrier team. 

Jeffersonville (1-2, 1-0 HHC) at Columbus East (1-2, 0-0 HHC)

Madison (0-3, 0-1 HHC) at Bedford North Lawrence (1-2, 1-0 HHC )

New Albany (1-2, 0-1 HHC) at Floyd Central (2-1, 0-0 HHC)

Seymour (3-0, 1-0 HHC) at Jennings County (1-2, 0-1 HHC)

I think all of us would be shocked if we missed any of these games tonight

East will be challenged tonight.  Lost one of its starting linebacker with an injury and starter corner out ill.  

If East is challenged tonight we know who will be the huge favorite come sectional time. 

And can we not get updates from anyone else in the HHC? 😬

I know Floyd had a late start

First off very impressive with what I’m hearing out of Columbus tonight. That was a gutsy performance.  I would love to see the film of that game. 

Stars win 50-21 over Jennings County 

And can we not get updates from anyone else in the HHC? 😬

I know Floyd had a late start 

Stars lead 37-14 after 3

Stars had a turnover on a pass in the end zone as well. 

Stars lead 23-0 at half 

had a turnover on a pass play inside the 10 as well. 

Stars lead JC 16-0 after 1st

Let’s go East keep fighting 

BNL has to find their offense, they have made some adjustments on defense. 

BNL will win by 14

New Albany over Jeff by 3

Seymour by as much as they want over Madison. 49-0 

East will lose by 21 but battle hard 

FC by 10

I doubt it. Lol. We have thought this many times.

I agree will have to be done first. Gaddis always has them ready. BNL & New Albany both missed their chance last year.

Somebody is beating East next year, whether it’s Floyd or NA, someone is... 

In 2 years BNL could beat them in back to back years. The key word of course is COULD

Well, your #1 pick is pretty safe. Lol. As a Floyd fan, I really need to see our team play better this Friday against a fairly good Vincennes Lincoln team before assuming we go 5-1. It’s helpful that we have NA, Jeff, and BNL at home. I worry about the last game of the season at Seymour. We have a history of losing there, even if we have the better team. This team is pretty Junior laden, so next season with a totally different Non-Con schedule, FC could very well play their way into the 5A top 10. 7-2 would be great this season though. Perhaps, 8-1 next season. We have some talent in our pipeline, so I would expect them to remain competitive.

One team that intrigues me is Jeffersonville. They seem to be playing a little better than expected. Having a Police Lieutenant as their Head Coach has brought some discipline to their program.

 

New Albany is starting pretty much all Sophomores. That class was undefeated last season and pretty much dominated their competition. They are expecting that team in a year or two to be very competitive in conference. 

 

I also expect BNL to be pretty good going forward as they have put together a good program under Steve Weber. 

 

 

Heres a question though. What if Floyd played Madison instead of East, and they both went 6-0? How the heck would that have played out?

They could have been 6-0 and claimed a co-HHC championship (as I’m sure BNL or NA or any other school would do. But we’d all know the truth about who the conference champion was. 😬

I’ve seen our team up 35+ & down 35+

I can’t honestly say I’ve seen a coach ours or an opponent intentionally run up the score. 

I have heard folks in our stands say Gaddis at Columbus East was and that’s laughable. If you call using 2nd & 3rd stringers and running the ball up the middle then maybe he has. I’ve had 2 boys play sports/football and their response even in 2019 is if we can’t stop them that’s on us. 

Again I am willing to concede and reach a compromise on the rule and hopefully adjustments are made. 

I know we are beating a dead horse here but drop the 6 quarter rule and I’d say using Varsity players past one series in the third quarter would drop to about 1%. 

I don’t think officials intentionally make bad calls and screw teams and I don’t think Varsity Head Coaches run up the score. 

Now Pee wee coaches and referees are another story 😂

Another complaint is we mercy ruled our opponent during the Freshman game Saturday. Same rules apply, ridiculous now a freshman who does not start gets very little playing time. 🤦‍♂️
