The Heritage Hills defense has 24 interceptions in 13 games so both teams might be seeing the best secondary they have faced.

But we had a season high 476 rushing yards on the ground in the first meeting and that was with leading rusher Jacob Wetzel on the sideline most of the game. Sorry couldn't resist. I would imagine that first Gibson game was best we played this season on the offensive side of the ball.

River Classic lineup has been shuffled from 4 games on Friday and 5 games on Saturday to 3 on Friday with North Posey Boonville added, 5 still on Saturday and the two teams playing in Semi state moved to Tuesday December 10th Barr Reeve/ Memorial and Bosse / Heritage Hills are the Tuesday double header. So Now HH will have Big Mark Doyle and Cole Sigler available. https://www.rivercityshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/UBRCHSBSFLYER2019new8.5x11.pdf

I did a google search for distances from Heritage Hills to the high schools we played in 2000 and 2004 because if we win Friday we would have 3 trips to state and only 1 home game each time. Did the high school distances and added Indianapolis distance for the final and used Indy for Chatard 2004 also because believe game was at Pike but cant remember for sure. 2000 @ Washington 93.8 @ Mount Vernon 114.4 Memorial home @ Whiteland 265 @ Roncalli 278.4 State 279.8 total miles round trip 1031.4 2004 @ Sullivan 182.2 @ Princeton 102 Mater Dei home @ Batesville 351.8 @ Chatard 279.8 State 279.8 total miles round trip 1195.6

Didn't notice the smell, only heard the Tiger roar once and after game was started didn't notice the traffic on US 50, Plus HH had so many fans I could hardly hear the Burg fans on other side of field. Nice venue and the PA announcer was one of the very few I noticed that didn't cheerlead, Almost all you can hear a little more excitement in their voice when the home team has a big play but not last night..It seemed like a home game just 180 miles away.

Agreed both teams were even on turnovers via the fumble coming in the big difference was interceptions where HH is +23 now...

Heritage Hills wasn't at full strength either we lost Gavin Vaal in the Gibson Southern game and at the time he was 3rd on the team in Tackles, 3rd in rushing yards, 2nd in kick return yards and 2nd in punt returns... I said going in the biggest difference in these two teams was take away's after tonight the Patriots have a plus 25 Turnover ratio, Lawrenceburg has a -3 . Yes losing the QB was huge and it stinks but when he was in there his numbers weren't exactly Steller 6 of 12 passing for 89 yards and 12 rushes for 28 yards a average of 2.3 yards per carry. Burd was held to 51 yards on 17 carry's a 3.0 average. Great season Lawrenceburg and as far as the Patriots I'm guessing very few teams if any have played 3 straight top 10 teams in the playoffs this season and won all 3...On top of that just like 2000 Heritage Hills will play 1st round of sectional, 2nd round of sectional, regional and semi state all on the road. P.S. Hearing Welcome To The Jingle playing and the huge HH following made it seem like home.i

Saw that tweet by Travis David and figured it was Brady but didn't know for sure.

Here are their titles from John Harrell's a bunch of it is under the old point system and the cluster but still a impressive tradition.

I'm ready !

We have never played Batesville in sectional our sectional losses when we were in 31 were against Indian Creek, Brownstown, Charlestown, Corydon Central and Southridge. 5-0 against Batesville

7th grade and freshman are solid teams, both played tough schedules , 8th is hurting in numbers with only 13 kids. 7th has 4 losses but they were against 4A Jasper, 4A Evansville Harrison, 4A Boonville and Undefeated Evansville Memorial . Freshman lost by 5 points to Evansville Mater Dei, 8 points to Gibson Southern and 16-0 against a Tecumseh JV team that had Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors. It will be major rebuild next year but our Strength coach has the program to the level we should still have winning record but long playoff run is unlikely.

Not that it has anything to do with 2019 PAC and EIAC but Batesville is the only EIAC team the Patriots have faced but we knocked them out of Regional 5 straight years. 2001 HH 23 BV 11 2002 HH 41 BV 0 2003 HH 16 BV 12 2004 HH 3 BV 0 2005 HH 46 BV 12

Not 4 different teams but 4 wins against ranked competition and it's not easy beating good teams twice. Biggest thing about the HH rush attack it's hard to key on 1 or 2 players the Patriots have 4 different players that have rushed for over a 100 yards in a game Wetzel 6 times, Sigler 4 times, Rodgers once and Vaal once. One of those players was injured in round 2 of sectionals but when Wetzel missed most of the Jasper game Vaal picked it up rushing for a 100 plus yards, Same thing against Gibson 1st game. Wetzel missed most of game and Rodgers rushed for 100 plus. We dont pass alot but Sigler has thrown the ball well when needed.

At least Friday Evening we get to watch Simon put on a show in the Slam Dunk contest again at the Blue White, And see if Blake or Murray came up with anything to try to top him. Just imagine if Simon was still playing football ??

Not saying it wont be a fight because it should be a war between two very good teams and Quarterbacks that can run and pass have always scared me but some of these post act like HH shouldn't even show up. And Yes I know Sagarin doesn't include out of state games but funny thing Sagarin has East Central rated higher then HH and CalPreps which includes out of state games has HH higher, go figure. Should be a good game Saturday and team that makes fewest mistakes will probably win..

According to Sagarin computer rating the HH schedule is ranked 143rd in the state and Lawrenceburgs schedule is ranked 184 and that's including East Central which has a overall rating of 38th in the state a few spots ahead of HH.

HH has forced 30 Turnovers 23 Interceptions and 7 fumbles and their opponents have forced 8 ( 1 interception and 7 fumbles ) Giving the Patriots a +22 turnover ratio.

And our 6'4" 305 pound lineman deflected one of the 6'5" Gibson Southern quarterbacks passes in the first game and hauled it in for the interception. Patriots can pass if needed but when most teams stack 7 or 8 in the box against you and you still have 3441 rushing yards in 12 games no need to be pass happy. Sigler has 8 of the Patriots 23 interception on defense. The depth took a bit of a hit after a key injury against Gibson but Rodgers who previously split time with Wetzel at Fullback moved to Wing last Friday and had 103 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Honestly though with teams from different regions and no common opponents it's hard to predict because who really knows how they matchup untill they face off. Going to be a long week.

The Heritage Hills quarterback scores every way possible he has 9 rushing touchdowns, 8 passing touchdowns, 2 interception return touchdowns, 2 punt return touchdowns, 1 kick return touchdown. One advantage for HH has to be take aways Patriots are a +22 and what I saw on MaxPreps through 11 games the Burg was -1 but that doesn't include the Greensburg game. HH has intercepted 23 passes and only thrown 1 for a + 22 fumbles are even 7 for HH and 7 for our opponents. According to MaxPreps through 11 games the burg has thrown 9 interceptions and and intercepted 8 and fumbles were even 6 - 6 for the -1 depending what they did Friday.

I always stand and rarely sit in the bleachers.

I'm pretty sure all of our Semi State games were on Saturday as was the 97 regional vs Chatard and all the regionals vs Batesville.

I have mixed emotions about going to Lawrenceburg, Always love playing new teams and seeing new stadiums but going to Lawrenceburg brings back bad memories from my childhood. My dad was a construction worker on a job and staying in Lburg when he was murdered by a fired co-worker and as a 10yo I spent two weeks there waiting for the end. Anyway back to the game it looks like they have a really nice turf stadium and even read where they call it The Jungle. https://twitter.com/TheMotzGroup/status/836613343557332992?s=19
