What programs do you admire? What programs do you have disdain for? This is more of a tongue and cheek topic, not to be taken to serious. Being a Bremen guy...... I have always had respect for Jimtown and Northwood. Blue collar schools that played hard and played with a lot of pride. Plymouth and Glenn always grinded my gears. Some good old fashion neighborly angst towards them folks. Statewide I hated Sheridan for the 59-0 pounding they put on Bremen in the 1988 State Title, that was me just being a sad little 7 year old at the time. As the years went on, I have soften to Coach Wright and his legacy.

Here is my weak attempt at making a few bad gueses. Glenn-solid team Elkhart- Lost a lot and dealing with early injuries. Total guess I have know idea on Washington. Jimtown-just because St. Joe- I see them being better this year. Bremen-This will be tight all the way through. Mishwaka-Marian lost a bunch New Prairie- I think NP wins, but may take a step back this year Adams- Northridge is breaking in a new coach. Clay-Maybe Valpo- Penn has to prove to me that they are back. MC- Better program.

I am a Bremen homer, and I don't apologize for that. I think the Lions pull it out against LaVIlle. Bremen is strong on the defensive line with Brody Echenbarger. The Lions return 2 players on defense who didn't play last year because of grade issues and I expect those 2 to help solidify the defense. The Lions will go running back by committee. The receiving corp is young but has a few athletes. Bremen has a good sized experience line with a 3 year starter at quarterback. I expect them to try and control the tempo and run the ball but Nunemaker is a decent QB that can make a play or two to pick up first downs. It's gonna be a fun game and will be competitive through the 4th quarter.

Large number of cases led to the county shutting things down at Shenandoah.

NIC Preview Preview of the NIC from the South Bend Tribune. Mostly focuses on the Big Schools.

Didn’t attend, but I talked to my nephew who plays at Bremen, and he was pretty positive. My friend who follows Jimtown said positive things about them. Said they have a lot of fight in this squad, and bragged on the linebackers.

It looks like the roster is now listed.

It’s not updated

I don’t know if I would call Bremen young. This group of seniors have played a lot since they were in 10th grade. Bremen lost 2/3 difference makers, but the foundation is back. LaVille will be a tough game though.

These put a human connection to some of the programs you only see from the outside, it was nice to get some inside information.

Intriguing idea.

Doesn't surprise me small communities have had a better response. More personal connections to the individuals involved with the programs.

Good job DT. I enjoyed the content. I shared the link from Coach Leeper with a Bremen Football page and a Bremen town page, it got a lot of likes. Hopefully that led to a few follows for your page. What are some of your takeaways from hearing from the coaches in many parts of the state?

Who will be producing the Bremen games. I hope they have a better production crew then the guys the had last year. That was the worst production of high school sports in the state.
