We are looking forward to getting back to 3A.

@Titan32 Not taking anything away from other programs but there’s no doubt where to go for football success with best chances for deep tournament runs and exposure in SW Indiana. No particular order top 3 EM, MD and GS. Next 3 SR, HH and maybe Castle.

1. GS 2. GS JV 3. GS Freshman 4. Memorial 5. Mater Dei 6. GS 8th grade

I agree! It’s an interesting read if you look at Pioneer league. Athletic scholarships were going to run finances into the ground. It was either go non-scholarship or lose football all together. I think the league is in a good place since going that direction.

Pioneer league. No athletic D1 scholarships for football at any Pioneer league school. They count on high academic kids to get lots of academic money.

QB coaches recruit more than just QBs. Several tapes sent to Sheridan and staff. Several times Combs was mentioned to Sheridan while recruiting Lindauer. It went in one ear an out the other. The final comical comment was at Memorial when he looked at Hurley and asked what number is Combs.

100% true. I was there.

Nick Sheridan had to ask Memorial coaches what number Combs is. That was after Hurley asked him what he thought about Branson on tape. I guess we can eliminate IU as the team you spoke with.

Ball State had no idea who he was until state game. Had zero interest in him. Soon as state game ends he has an offer and a coach from there trying to get him to flip from SIU. I’m guessing if they felt he was undersize or not fast enough that wouldn’t have changed after state game.

Postseason success matters IMO. If Allen doesn’t showcase his talents on biggest stage he’s not top 3 in voting this year. The state game now has him as the favorite. Believe what you want Donnie Baker, I swear to god !

Absolutely. How do guys like Heltsey and Combs go unnoticed. I’d take those two on any team any level.

Branson Combs had 3 offers. Ball State, Southern Illinois and a D2 school in Missouri. You won’t find a more dominant football player on both sides of the ball. 4 year varsity starter on both sides of the ball. 247 didn’t have a profile or star ranking for him. Finished career #2? all time in receiving yards. Look at his career stats on both sides of the ball if you want a head scratcher. Not to mention back to back trips to state and arguably the best player on the field each finals game. Throw in 1st team all siac in 3 sports. Freak athlete! They don’t care about numbers.

JMO. Mr Football should be a player with multiple years of post season success. If it’s just senior season Allen has got to be 1 or 2.

I think there will be a QB battle in summer camp for Memorial. Fisher looks poised and ready to be QB1. I think if that happens Caleb will move to WR/RB/DB. Memorial staff has proven in the past they don’t need a featured RB to win. RB by committee w good athletes. I expect Memorial to be back in sectional finals again with a chance to make a run. There’s a handful full of athletic kids in that freshmen class that will make a difference right away……of course depending on how dedicated they are to summer football and not travel baseball will help them be ready by August.

GS definitely beefed up schedule this year but still not comparable to CG. Nobody’s schedule in SW is close to CG.

Memorial QB 2018 3858 yards 51 tds 7 int 512 rushing yards 12 TDs 25 post season TDs. 21 passing 4 rushing. Writer for Indy newspaper thought it would take 2 state titles for him to win it. Finished 3rd behind Kizer and Bell Curry and Brady have to be 1 & 2 and not sure what order. Both deserving.

Wait!! Up 20-0 in a game you are clearly going to win by whatever you want and Lidy calls onside kick. Wow

Happened in 18. Memorials QB helmet yanked off by kid from WL going for strip sack. I think it ended up being 2nd to last play of the game he had to sit.

Tango probably a better source but I think in 08 and 09 Hurley/EM traveled to Indy for the team practice. 2017, 18, and 19 they chose not to waste a day practicing at LOS. Tried to keep the week as normal as possible. EM did stay in hotel each of their 5 trips. Not sure there is a right way to do it. I’m sure all coaches have different philosophy’s on how to approach this week. What a nice advantage the teams around Indy have.

Congrats Sir! 2017 probably helped ease the pain of losing in 2018. But all you can do is ask your kids to leave it all on the field and both teams did that night. I think GS ability to run the ball and throw the ball will be the difference. Usually teams can take away one or the other and have an advantage. Just not many weaknesses if any with GS offense. And unlike the past couple of years I think the GS defense is capable of controlling the game. Hope the Tigers can get back to 3A soon. Nothing better than driving down Coal Mine road on a Friday night in late October.

How does Brebeuf compare to 2017? Their defense was stout in 17. Offense was good but nothing great. Never felt like they could take over offensively in 17. Had some dudes up front on D. MLB was an an animal.

From SW Indiana it’s simple. 1. Memorial 2. Mater Dei 3. Heritage Hills 4. GS/Southridge 5. ummm nobody. biggest factor is tournament success. Regular season records are hard to compare because of how incredibly soft some conferences are.

No. I’m enjoying 65 and sunny. Friday weather not for me. And the tigers need rest. Those boys from EC can hit.

And missed two games

Enlow will be rocking Friday night. Had a lot of youth feeder hoops going on during regional Saturday and lots of games on TV. Expect standing room only on home side.
