Bloomington South 63 Terre Haute North 0 (9:03, 3rd) South received the opening kickoff to start the 3rd and quickly scored on a drive with the running clock.

Bloomington South 56 Terre Haute North 0 (half) Obviously, it will be a running clock to start the 2nd half and South will be receiving the ball to start the 3rd. I expect almost nothing but backups to play the last half which should end quickly. The backups already saw a lot of playing time in the 2nd qtr.

Bloomington South 56 Terre Haute North 0 (1:39, 2nd) South scored on a 40-yard drive. The Panthers have been alternating their starters and backup units during the 2nd on each possession.

Bloomington South 49 Terre Haute North 0 (5:39, 2nd) South scored on a 60-yard pass play.

Bloomington South 42 Terre Haute North 0 (11:52, 2nd) South scored on the first play of the 2nd qtr on a punt return.

Bloomington South 35 Terre Haute North 0 (0:54, 1st) South got another pick and scored on the first play after the INT.

Bloomington South 28 Terre Haute North 0 (1:18, 1st) South recovered the kickoff and scored on a very short field.

Bloomington South 21 Terre Haute North 0 (2:46, 1st) South scored on a pick-6.

Bloomington South 14 Terre Haute North 0 (4:41, 1st) THN went for it on 4th down on their side of the field and were stuffed, setting the Panthers up for a short field score. The two-point conversion was good.

Bloomington South 6 Terre Haute North 0 (7:56, 1st) South scored on their first possession of the game. PAT was blocked.

It appears most games have been pushed back.

Pick'em selections BNL @ Jeffersonville The Stars will be smarting after blowing a 20-point lead in their loss to Bloom. North, while Jeff is just not a good football program right now. The Stars by 2-3 TDs. Seymour @ Columbus East Both teams are looking for their first win. The Olympians have played the better schedule in their first two games and are at home. Look for the Olympians to finally put four good quarters together in a win. Floyd Central @ Silver Creek Silver Creek lost by 19 to a Charlestown squad while barely beating Salem by four points. FC will be too much for the Dragons. New Albany @ Brownstown Central New Albany fooled us all with their season opening win, but they have shown they are who we thought they were since then.

Not sure about your point since East Central is 4A.

I really thought that South would take over the No. 1 spot, but then I remembered we are located in the 812 area code, and that by itself works against you.

As far as 5A goes, Cathedral is off to a slow start this season and is 0-2 out of the gate. Interestingly, the Irish are playing an eight-game regular season schedule this season and five of their opponents are out-of-state teams. They will probably be a formidable foe come playoff time. New Pal was decimated by graduation losses this season and may struggle at times early in the season, but I wouldn't bet the farm they will continue to do so as the season wears on. South looks like they should be favorites for the rest of their schedule with the exception of their regular season ending game at Center Grove. South's game against Ironton (OH) H.S. is a real puzzle mark. They are a small school football power of between 400 and 500 students and are located in coal country. They are currently on probation over recruiting violations and were kicked out of last season's postseason playoffs over the violations. They play an independent schedule and play schools like Big Walnut this season. Ironton is a town of between 10,000 and 11,000, yet their high school team averages 10,000 in attendance to their games, so the whole town pretty much shows up for their games. South will make the almost 300-mile trip there on the same day (Saturday) as the game, and will play the game mid-afternoon, so who knows how sharp they will be going into the game. Like last season, it looks like it could possibly be another matchup of South and Floyd Central for this season's regional title.

Look for Bloomington South to take over the No. 1 spot in 5A as New Pal loses to East Central, 14-6, unless they bump Cathedral over South or even East Central. Whoops, my bad. East Central is 4A.

East Central 14 New Pal 6 (final)

Bloomington North trailed BNL 34-14 at one point but now lead the Stars 41-40 with under 3 minutes to play. They scored the go-ahead TD on a 4th down play. I see that Frozen Tundra says it's a final.

Floyd Central 37 Whiteland 0 (final) Columbus North 42 Columbus East 14 (final)

Bloomington South 48 Martinsville 14 (final) The Arties scored on the South backups in the last minute of the game.

Bloomington South 48 Martinsville 7 (8:04, 4th) South scored on a 40-yard run to kick in a running clock for the rest of the 4th.

Bloomington South 41 Martinsville 7 (start of 4th)

Bloomington South 41 Martinsville 7 (4:14, 3rd) South scored on a pick six.

Bloomington South 34 Martinsville 7 (5:13, 3rd) Crazy start to the second half as there were three turnovers in a matter of seconds. The Arties threw a pick that South returned to the Arties 18 yard line. South threw a pick on the very next play. The Arties then fumbled the ball away on the very next play. South eventually kicked a 42-yard FG after another holding call.

I was called crazy for picking FC big by 3+ TDs providing FC didn't shoot themselves in the foot. The second half could be the opposite, but I'm looking good on my prediction right now.
