North Judson at Culver: North Judson is a top 5-10 1A team I've ever seen granted I haven't seen 'em all. Would love to see the hypothetical matchups between them and the Kisers' Panthers teams. "They are big, fast, strong, mean, and they're fast." North Judson will score as much as they want. Culver will score as much as North Judson wants them to. Hoping everyone stays healthy on both sides. 55-0 Blue Jays. North Miami at Pioneer: Warrior's lack of size was apparent early and exploited all night last week. They were able to move the ball fairly decent between the 20s. But taking on NJ down your 2 best linemen and rolling out a pair of 160lb offensive tackles is a recipe for disaster at Liberty Field. I believe this to be the best game of the week in the HNAC. Once more, can NM finish drives against good competition being so small? Only 5 guys on the roster over 200lbs, 2 of them sidelined, and one being the QB. Panthers at home, 35-15. South Central (Union Mills) at Caston: Long trip for the Satellites. Caston's playmakers make a few more plays throughout. Can they defend the pass? I think just enough. 30-20 Comets Triton at Winamac: Winamac has some bright spots. There's even better days ahead for the Warriors, but one of them is not this coming Friday night. I still think Triton might be 2nd best in the conference. They roll this week. 40-14 Trojans

Really fun to look through Harrell's site and count. Way more than I thought I'd seen! I came up with 95 schools. I was hoping for 60 or so. Thanks for the question!

I don't think either Caston nor North Miami would feel great coming out of last week's game. The turnover bug bit the Comets, and they gave NM several short fields. North Miami committed 10-plus penalties with most being of the 10-15 yard varieties. Both teams will have to fix those issues moving forward. Caston has several nice young athletes. The future is bright in Fulton. It was good to see Bowyer back with 25 carries on Friday. Week 3 predictions: Culver at Winamac: Could be a good game at Roudebush Field on Friday night. I think Winamac has a few more dudes on both sides of the ball who will prevail as the game wears on. 27-14 Warriors North Miami at North Judson: The game will be close early as it starts out 0-0. North Miami is 3-0, but their wins are against a combined 1-8. Rumors are that NM lost yet another lineman. Can anything slow down the Jays this year? I'm thinking no. Look for NJ to keep rolling this week. 41-10 Blue Jays Pioneer at Caston: The Panthers have me a bit perplexed. I know Knox is quite the animal this year, but the score of that game doesn't make sense comparatively/transitively. My gut likes Pioneer easily. However, my brain wants to say Caston might be able to make it a game. But my brain plays tricks on me a lot as it's smarter than I am. As Hondo mentioned, Bowyer being healthy definitely makes the Comets better. Toughest projection of the week for me. 35-13 Panthers Triton at South Central (Union Mills): Not a lot I am able to speak on about this matchup. I think Triton handles their business this week. 48-8 Trojans

Sheridan certainly isn't "Sheridan" like they were last year, 5 years ago, 15 years ago. But after seeing NM, they're not bad. Several 2-3 year starters who have taken their lumps. The junior QB is a good athlete who started his 23rd game last week, so there's not much that will rattle him at this point. Team speed is okay, and they gang tackled well. A few guys came out for football this year that did not in the past. They're still missing their best lineman on both sides of the ball who had surgery 2 weeks before official practice started. Heard he might be back late in the year. It's good to see the Warriors have some success. I'll stick with 39-13 North Miami tonight. Looking forward to seeing all the conference/area results tonight!

Knowledge of the 2024 versions of these teams is very limited at this point. However, let's give it a shot. Caston @ North Miami: Scrappy Comets keep it close for awhile. North Miami pulls away late. 39-13 Warriors Culver @ Triton: Hope the Trojan QB is healthy. If he is, 41-12 Triton North Judson @ South Central (Union Mills): Running clock early. 56-6 NJSP Winamac @ Pioneer: I'll go 42-8 Panthers

Final from Denver: North Miami 27 Sheridan 17

North Miami has a strong junior class. The boys are already banged up after some non-football related injuries in the summer, and a couple key losses in the scrimmage. **Brand new here, will add username later**
