Snider kicks 45 yard FG for walk off win

Kicking ball out of bounds was not a good move

Mishawaka 15, Snider 13 with 8 minutes to go.

Snider getting some decent drives but no points to show for it. Mishawaka's ground game going nowhere, killing Snider through the air.

Mishawaka QB has thrown for over 50% of his regular season total during this game I believe. 

I'm taking Penn by 6 to 10.

Sagarin also ranks Warren Central and East Noble ahead of Snider. Snider blew both those teams out. Take that ranking with a grain of salt. It amazes me how much stock people put into these polls. Sagarin doesn't give points to a team for taking a knee deep in their opponents territory right before the half. Sagarin also take points away from a team that wins 49-0 in one half, and loses 14-0 in the second half with their 2nd & 3rd stringers. 

Mishawaka is good. They wouldn't be in the regionals otherwise, nor would they by 9-2. Snider will need to put their best foot forward to win this game. Snider tends to fall asleep once in awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if they are cleaning out their lockers tomorrow night. 

There you go again with that reverse psychology I like it !!  🤣

Last year Mishawaka jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the 2nd quarter and then Snider got comfortable and dominated the 2nd half to win going away. If Snider gets out to a double digit lead early, that is trouble for the Cavemen

Kick off return by Juarez was huge to get TD late in 2Q to get it to 21-7. Bad decision by Mishawaka to go for it in on 4th down ball on their 40'ish yard line I think, game tied at 21-21, mid Q3, didn't convert, that let Snider go up 28-21.

They could do the same thing to Snider that Warsaw did to Carroll............chew up the entire first quarter. As much as Snider likes to get the ball first in the second half, I can't imagine them kicking the ball to start the game if given the choice. 

Last year, Snider had the ball for maybe around 5 minutes in first half? I think the possible deciding factor maybe Buchanan. He could run for 200+ yards and break some big gains. I don't have the stats for him this year, but I don't think he was on the field much after the late second Q and 2nd half because Tip lets other RB's in on action. I think he is one of the better backs Snider has had in past years, so if he is called on to play into the 3rd and 4th Q he will deliver.

Why would Westfield play at CP, if CP already has played two home games to Westfield's one? I thought that was the determining factor, and that placement on the bracket only came into play if both teams had played an equal number of games at home? Just wondering.

Per ISHAA on how semi state locations are determined.

Classes 2A, 4A & 6A
*Regional non-host, if applicable, or higher sectional # (i.e., Sect. 2 is higher than Sect. 1).

*If regional winner has not hosted either sectional final or regional, that school will be the designated host.

How good is CP's D? I see they have held M-ville and Valpo to combined 20 points. Does the D have ability to limit Penn to 2-3 TDS max?

Note to Snider, watch out for the onside kickoff. It got them by surprise last year, bet they try again.

No, I don't. I just think Mishawaka is better than what they are being given credit for. A good team like that plays motivated when everyone says they're going to get blown out. Stay tuned. 

I don't think everyone is saying they will get blown out.

Too many blowout predictions in this one. Mishawaka will take exception to that. I'll take the Cavemen by 7. 

Huh, reverse psychology I believe. Well done !!

If they think it will be a blowout it will end as last years game began..read their qb is better this year..still say their hook n ladder game was impeccable...

Yes, they have been throwing ball better this year, so that add a level of difficulty. I doubt Snider comes into game feeling overconfident, but then again anything can happen and they could be on wrong side of the score this time around. I thinking playing the, last year gives them plenty of tools to prepare for the O they run.

I'm thinking Snider by 10-13. Close game into 4th Q. Brady Fisher Mishawaka QB is a great athlete, Snider will need to adjust to the option O they run. Wouldn't be surprised if the Cavemen get their first W against Snider though.

Penn winning three of the next five 6A state titles. 

Huh, are they doing the Harbaugh thing now?? LOL. It would be great for Penn to make a resurgences in 6A. Need to get Penn & Snider into an regular season agreement. 

Can Snider win again this year at Mishawaka? I think so, I'm taking them by 10 to 13

Temp was saying Penn was the past and CP is the future . So if Penn wins Friday , wouldn't they be the future?

Maybe we need Doc and Marty to chime in on this??

The term "Hun" from this speech was later used for the Germans by British and other Allied propaganda during the war.

Effort!  

I'm thinking some desire/motivation/or whatever you can call into went out of North Sides'  sails  when Johnson was hurt to begin season, lack of QB and then Johnson getting hurt again (if that happened) ?? Effort I believe comes from coaching staff drive and motivation from staff, at least a good majority of it, IMO .

Looking forward to Snider and Mishawaka next Friday. I think Cavemen jumped out to big lead last year at start, Snider came back to win. Looking for better start Friday.

Did my comment about this game mirroring:  NH v. East Noble a few weeks ago, age well?  

Kind of, they didn't play each other in regular season, so not sure what to compare this game too?

Ben Johnson has the passion and the players. There were some dudes out there last night in the trenches that looked like D1 guys. I think he just needs to tweak some things internally. The game was pretty clean last night with the exception of a couple of personal fouls. Had some decent athletes as well. That quarterback could run. 

Yea, I saw some good things there on North Side, but I not sure I've seen a fast start like that from Snider in awhile. Was glad that both teams stuck to the game and played a mostly uneventful game in regard to flags. Looking forward to the Mishawaka game

I wonder if North Side will do another video next summer?
