Absolutely gotta love it. Over 300 Indiana football teams and there are 12 left to see what 6 are left standing. Regardless, hell of an experience for all involved to be a part of it and play one last game (for the seniors) in Lucas Oil !!!

Yep - I concur. At least two sizes for me. Will swell 10 fold by Friday night

Good point, but that comment is probably more for the parents and fans

I am sure every single Chatard player (none of which have moved in from any region) will look forward to getting hit hard. They love it and will always want more. Looking forward to the match up and, of course, every player on both teams playing their hearts out! Nothing less would be acceptable. Too much work, too many years, too much love to not lay it all on the line!

Good - hope it happens WOW - Danville is done and gone which is where I thought you would be for the rest of this year. Oh well.

and - wyatt Schrader (lb) and - kyle cheek (qb) and - pat mastrian (s) and - George assalley (dl) and - tim mcnelis and - max schrage and - ol - joe Solomon, Dakota boyd, alex geise, jack woodcock, will mason and - derion gilbert (rb) the list goes on and on and on. This is a very, very solid team with no drop off or significant weakness. OL and DL are exceptional. Offense brings outstanding run or pass - choose your poison (as mentioned above). Game is played on the field, but if this team does it's job, then Friday will be a Trojan celebration! So excited for this entire week. Chatard 42 HH 14 (unless coaches decide to keep starters in for entire game)

Go back and look at the thread and tell me where I made any excuse? Also, I provide no credit, but that is not due to any conscious decision, rather I have nothing to say on the matter the Danville wins. Your comment on "typical private school fan" and "down recruiting years" reveals your bias and unsubstantiated commentary/opinions. No excuses, no reasons...you lose, you lose....you win, you win. Now, how you act during the wins and losses might be another topic, but the fact remains that Danville won, Chatard lost. Lots of opinions, but not relevant to this weekend which I stand by my prediction 42-14 HH over Danville.

Not really surprising. However, that is the past. The present will have HH win 42-14 and hopefully meet Chatard at LOS. I expect this topic/thread to be gone in about 36 hours

Yep - had someone ask me - WTF? I said that if we didn't like it, then we should stop it. Outside of that, too bad, remember it for later, and when you can return it 10 fold.

Whew - so glad someone articulated that fear and our prayers. Seriously? Danville is not winning Friday IMO and IF they do, then Chatard will be more than happy to end the "losing streak" at LOS and run at least 6 swinging gate plays after we are up 35...should we get there. I would think Mishawaka and HH are great teams who could win and go to LOS - - - Danville....is not. stupid

Agreed

I went to maxpreps and took the top 50 Indiana QBs (defined as total passing yards) in the state (regardless of class) and then sorted by Rate. Not perfect, but begins to sort out a list. So, with that in mind, the top 10 using that criteria showed up as: Name Pos Yds Yds/G Comp Att Pct TD Int Rate G 1 Logan White - Sr QB, P 3802 345.6 261 344 0.759 42 6 143.7 11 2 Rylan Metz - Sr QB, FS 2576 234.2 190 270 0.704 31 4 132.6 11 3 Kyle Adams - Sr QB 3938 328.2 294 407 0.722 55 10 131.9 12 4 Maximus Grimes - Jr QB 1886 235.8 113 177 0.638 19 2 130.8 8 5 James Arnold - Jr QB, MLB 3168 264 158 271 0.583 43 6 129.7 12 6 Kyle Cheek - Sr QB 1978 152.2 147 222 0.662 29 4 126.5 13 7 Alex Stirn - Sr SS, QB 1894 157.8 118 190 0.621 24 4 126.2 12 8 Garrett Yoon - So QB 2332 179.4 140 218 0.642 28 8 124.5 13 9 Luke Goode - Jr QB 2778 231.5 175 286 0.612 27 2 122.1 12 10 Bailey Parker - Sr FS, QB 2730 210 205 323 0.635 39 6 122 13 Obviously, there is the eyeball test, dual threat players, program tendencies (i.e. run vs. pass, etc), quality of line/team, etc. However, I think this is a decent slice to start a conversation. All very good in their own right!

Either team works. First, need to get past this Friday.

no issue as far as I am concerned...just responding to the "recruiting" comment which is a perception with no reality....as far as Chatard goes that is

Here's a scenario to consider... In sports leagues, promotion and relegation is a process where teams are transferred between multiple divisions based on their performance for the completed season. The best-ranked team(s) in the lower division are promoted to the higher division for the next season, and the worst-ranked team(s) in the higher division are relegated to the lower division for the next season. In some leagues, playoffs or qualifying rounds are also used to determine rankings. This process can continue through several levels of divisions, with teams being exchanged between levels 1 and 2, levels 2 and 3, levels 3 and 4, and so on. During the season, teams that are high enough in the league table that they would qualify for promotion are sometimes said to be in the promotion zone, and those at the bottom are in the relegation zone (or, colloquially, the drop zone or facing the drop).[1]

hilarious...and old

Highly recommend this place - ate there a few years back. Food was awesome, people were great, car out front very Mayberry!

Yes sir - that will be the place for us - looking forward to it

daaaaaaannnggggg!

This year's team is all around very solid with 7 All-City players: Cheek - QB Taylor - RB Sowinski - WR Solomon - OL Assalley - DL Schrader - LB Mastrian - DB What makes this list so interesting are the players who are NOT on this list. Seriously, top to bottom very solid in all aspects (O, D, ST). This obviously does not mean anything as wins/losses are decided on the field. Regarding style. Certainly less pass this year vs. last two years, but absolutely more than the Coach L days where he ran 98% of the time. I would say 65/35 run/pass ratio. So far, this team is performing very well and the young men playing every Friday have earned every opportunity and success to this point. Looking forward to this Friday. Leaving a bit early to get a bite to eat before the game. Thanks to all with your suggestions regarding Ft. Wayne cuisine. Chatard 42 - Concordia 14

Amen. There is no doubt. AND make sure you account for traffic in your travels so you have plenty of time to warm up :) Good luck to both teams. Should be a good match.

Appreciate all the food suggestions - going up early as I have not been to Ft. Wayne in quite some time. Any insight on the field and the seating capacity? Grass/Turf? Plentiful seating capacity?

True that!

Chatard / Cathedral game was a very good game and you trying to make it more or less while sitting in your mom's basement is hilarious. Both programs are having a great year. That game could have gone a lot of different ways, but at the end, Cathedral won. Props. Both schools could be at LOS in a few weeks, who knows. I have to admit that I wasn't sold on Cathedral at the beginning of the year, but they have athletes with tons of speed which covers for some of the fundamental flaws and execution. I think the New Pal game will be incredible and I really could see either team winning. New Pal will grind it and if they can stop the big plays, then I like their chances to win based on consistency of play. However, a couple of big plays by the Irish changes everything, so it will be a contest for sure. This time of year makes for some fun Friday nights!
