Congrats New Prairie good win.

Marian looked good as well. That is a giant clustermuck in that division. It’s fun to see.

Jimtown putting up 55 on Adam’s is impressive.

Bremen takes care of Riley, but that Boyd is an athlete. 3 TD’s on the night. If I’m Coach Kinzie he needs the ball in his hands more often. 

Bremen 28

SB Riley 7 Half

Bremen 21 SB Riley 7 2nd

Penn went from 1985 to 2009ish without losing a conference game.

Always a decent read.

It is baffling to me why they put them in the same sectional.   If one wanted to guarantee Chatard to stay in 4A forever, they would put them in another one.  (Though there is every chance they could beat Roncalli two years in a row and stay up.)  Or maybe they think Roncalli will move up to 5A and then Chatard wins that sectional every year and stays up.

 

Is the goal to keep them in 4A forever? Probably not.  I am always torn on the success factor. In the big picture it is probably necessary, but I don't know if it is fair to punish a class/grade or 2 behind a dominate group of athletes.  

Off Topic- I am going to put on my green Bremen homer cap and brag on a couple other sports teams.  Congrats to the Boys Tennis team for winning the regional of Peru and advance to Semi-State to take on Munster. Also congrats to the futbol team for knocking off Marian and St. Joe in the first 2 rounds of the sectional and advance to take on another conference rival, the Washington Panthers.  Not bad for the smallest school in the NIC. If only they could figure out how to play basketball.  Ughhhhhh.

On last years Eddies state title team , 9 starters went to either elementary or middle school in the PHM District . 

So Penn is experiencing a new form of "white flight"?

I could see SC before Glenn... NIC is more consistant with gate money across the board in sports.. thats why Glenn wanted in that conference from day 1.   Just my Thought

From people in the know, the gate money from the NIC is down compared to the old NSC days.  Some of that goes to the fact that they don't play Plymouth or New Prairie any more, and they generally had good crowds.  But Washington, Clay, and Riley somewhat, don't bring good crowds.

So with Triton's 134 yards producing 6 points, do you anticipate NJ's 200+ to produce 12-14?

Triton running back is a stud. I think holding him to 134 yards is impressive.

This whole situation is despicable and everyone at Lawerenceburg should be ashamed. Bottom line. 

Also the Rushville admin and school board as well. They need to provide a better situation to allow their athletes to compete. Shameful to set your student athletes to fail like that.

If Sagarin doesn't have the capability to factor in out of state games, then it's nothing more than a fun thing not to be taken seriously.  I always thought computers were smart.🤓

Exactly, it’s nothing to get worked up about. It’s for fun. Same with the other polls.

No need to score 91 points in a game.  Running clock in the first, every backup in the game....something.  That is ridiculous. 

Running clock starts at half, and from the looks of it, everyone of the backs up played. 

Are we now advocating taking a knee in the first quarter?

Wonder how the game contract reads. Usually there is a buy out clause. 

Sagarin is almost accurate in the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Give or take a few hiccups. 

LaVille and Glenn will be a fun out of conference game.

Why would Glenn agree to that? Money would be my guess. 

Bremen 21 Glenn7-Falcon QB misses game with Covid tracing. 
 

New Prairie 9 Adams 0

Jimtown 69 Clay 8

Glenn and Bremen are evenly matched.  You can add any football clliche' you want to predict the game.  Execution, heart, drive, motivation.  Whoever shows up to play 48 minutes+ will come away with the victory.

Also, like NLC stated, it really only measures in state games. Out of state games are not measured.

It means nothing and is not accurate. Nothing to be worried about.

Yep…I knew that. It was in response to the comment that longer field goals had been made in the finals.

Everybody's experience is going to be different. It comes down to the individual coach and not the sport. I was the baseball coach and tried working with the FB coach in regards to summer workouts but he would have nothing to do with it. He wouldn't even work with the basketball coach. Basketball coach and I worked on a schedule and tried to include the FB coach but again he wouldn't consider it. It helped that the basketball coach was my assistant. FB coach even talked the star basketball player and our number 2 pitcher into specializing because he could be a D1 QB and possibly go pro. The kid was barely 6' and weighed 160 tops. Good athlete for a small school but nowhere near D1 caliber. Kid missed his Jr and Sr year of basketball and ended up playing NAIA but quit after 1 year. I don't lump all FB coaches in this category as I have worked with some great FB coaches and terrible basketball coaches when it comes to working together.  

FWIW, I wouldn't schedule anything after moratorium week. You can play too much baseball and I am a firm believer in kids playing multiple sports and having a summer to be kids. We would only play about 10 or 12 summer games. It wasn't a popular decision when I took over but it is amazing how quickly the parents and lifers get over it when you start winning hardware.

 

Well said.
