    Week 2, last warm-up before conference play.

    Took a hard hit in the conference in week 1 with Eastbrook getting the only W.  Week 2 will be more promising hopefully.  M-G not playing again this week, hope they get healthy and able to start next week.

    Couple of rival games this week, Lapel v Frankton and Tipton v Elwood, would hope for good games but not holding my breath.

     

    Blackford at Eastern
    Delta at Eastbrook
    Lapel at Frankton
    Mississinewa at New Haven
    Oak Hill at Southwood
    Tipton at Elwood
    Wabash at Alexandria

     

    Good luck to all teams, stay healthy, safe travels and always practice good Sportsmanship.

    MG does have a game tonight at MG they will be Playing the Cloverdale Clovers.

  2. Alex wins this one, Bernie's sales double for the night.

    Blackford gets a win 4 yards at a time.

    Ole Miss the Campbell brothers make the Elwood D look like a bowl of soup.

    Eastbrook takes my Argylls to the whooping shed. Win or lose would like to see MG put 4 quarters together.

    Shock the world Argylls lets get a rare win over the Panthers.   OK leave me to my delusions.   Go Argylls!!!

  3. so I didn't get to see the Tipton MG game but was able to make the MG Eastern game. Mg went down early to a much quicker Eastern team. The MG "D" was 3 steps behind the entire first half, and the "O" could not do anything.. Then something happens at halftime, MG's "D" decides to show up and the "O" starts moving the ball. So MG is a tale of 2 half's held Tipton to 0 points in the first held and held Eastern to 7pts the 2nd half. MG scored 24 in the 2nd half. Now its on to Eastbrook, I'm sure they are licking their wounds and their chops at a chance to right the ship against my Argylls. Good Luck Argylls see you Friday.  PS MY grandsons first 7th grade game is Thursday I guess they have combined the 7th and 8th to make a team.  So I was told that they would have to forfeit all of their games doesn't seem quite right but that's the way it is. GO ARGYLLS!!

  4. looking forward to see MG for myself Friday night. I have watched them practice but was unable to get to Tipton. Nice to see some good chatter about MG on here. I think they are moving in the right direction but probably will be a middle a of the pack team this year. While they do drop to 1A, their sectional is a tough one. That being said if they can stay healthy and build some second half stamina, through in a PAP every now and then, its possible they could make some noise in the sectional. Good things ahead for MG. GO ARGYLLS!!

  5. Lots of good games this week!

    Blackford over MC in a close hard fought battle, 3 yards at a time.

    Marion over Eastbrook, Marions too athletic this year and gets over on the east siders.

    Lapel thumps Elwood, new coach needs a little more time.

    Tipton over MG, first full season for new coach, system etc, but I hear good things happen in Argyllville.

    Ole Miss over PH, this one could go either way but look for the Indians to prevail.

    Oak Hill over Eastern, some how Bud and the west siders get it done.

    Frank over Tri C, why coin flip landed heads.

    Alex over WD. Alex needs to win early, and does.

    With the new Sectional alignment, I will be even more interested in the CIC. My Blue Devils open with Madison-Grant and Elwood per usual but we also now in the same Sectional with Eastbrook, Blackford, Alexandria and Frankton. 

    Weak opening two games will not do anything to help Tipton later an in the year. It will be a good test for MG to see what if any improvements have been made sense last year. If I were Tipton I would look to strengthen those early games before conference play. Could we be looking at a future return to the CIC for the Blue Devils?

  7. Been out of the loop for awhile. But I agree with franktonite, MG getting aligned with south adams and Monroe central is a tall task, at least this year. I do hear some good things about the direction they are going, but the proof is in the pudding. The in coming 7th grade class has had a lot of success it will be fun to see if they continue to develop as they mature physically. I think MG is on the right track with a Alum coach, maybe we can stop the revolving coaching change. To start a PROGRAM you have to take the first step. I think that has happened. The big problem I see is numbers at all levels MG's head coach will nee to plant the seed at the lowest level and have a hands on approach through their high school years. Still bleed that MG black and Gold. GO MG

    I guess the better question these days is will anyone OTHER THAN Eastbrook or Ole Miss ever win the CIC again?  Blackford might have a shot at finishing in 2nd soon though.  I wouldn't be surprised if the CIC has a few new arrivals and departures in the next 3 years with the widening gaps in size and talent between the top 4 and the bottom 4, at least on the football side of the house.

    Agreed, if it was just football it would have already happened. would not be surprised if Ole Miss would be the first one to jump ship.

  9. I know its early, but What are your thoughts on the CIC this year? Are Eastbrook and Ole Miss still the cream of the crop, or does Blackford take a step up this year? Has MG's numbers increased with a new coach? and what schemes on O and D for them? Who are the players for each team to watch? How long will the conference stay intact with MG dropping to 1A and Ole MIss at 4A?  Can't wait for the season to start! Feel free to share about your CIC team.

  10. Congrats to the Argyll's on their HUGE win over 2A #4 Tipton last night! I wasn't able to be at the game but listened to it on the radio. Most of MG's losses this year were 6 points or less, the game at Frankton was the only game that they were not in. Hats off to Cooper for playing the whole game, Brown picked it up in the second half, and Rudy was Rudy, will miss his hustle next year. The team D has improved as the year progressed. And you can't take anything away from the other starters or bench, Manwell or Howell have both lead this team in scoring at one time or another this year. This has been a fun team to watch this year! Yes they have been up and down, but they are a team that you can't take lightly. Good luck Argylls, see you Friday.
