Edgewood 31 Mitchell 8 (end of 3rd)

Bloomington South 27 New Albany 7 (mid 3rd) South was their worst enemy at the start of the 3rd. After punting the ball on their opening possession of the 3rd, the Bulldogs fumbled the ball away at the 27-yard line of New Albany. But South turned around and was hit with a chop block penalty and then a PF penalty which pushed them way back after getting down around the 10-yard line and they missed a 41-yard FG attempt.

Mooresville 31 Bloomington North 6 (5:31, 3rd)

Bloomington South 27 New Albany 7 (half) South's completely rebuilt O-line looked good in the first half in both run blocking and pass protection. South's defense came up with two picks and a strip sack in the half, although the last pick came on a Hail Mary pass at the end of the half. South will receive the ball to start the 2nd half.

Cathedral 45 New Albany 7 (half) The Irish add both a FG and another TD near the end of the 1st half. I'm over and out for this game.

Cathedral 35 New Albany 7 (5:00, 2nd) I don't know where it stands right now, but the Irish had 158 rushing yards to 3 yards for the Bulldogs at the end of the 1st. I'm kind of glad that it is New Albany and not South taking this beating. With the loss last week by South, at least Coach J.R. Holmes gets the three football-playing basketball players back in time to get enough practices in for the start of the season.

Cathedral 28 New Albany 7 (0:56, 1st) As expected, the Bulldogs are no match for the Irish.

Cathedral 21 New Albany 7 (under 4, 1st) Irish are grinding up some big yardage on the ground.

Cathedral 14 New Albany 7 (late 1st) The Bulldogs score on a 29 yard pass play after picking up a 1st down on a 4th and 10 play.

Yes, Johnson was a load for South to stop, and the Panthers didn't do a very good job of slowing him down, especially in the second half when South couldn't move the ball much offense and the "D" was spending most of the second half on the field.

It's an excuse, but a legitimate excuse when the teeth of your offense all of a sudden is not there and you really are going with a JV backfield. There are probably not too many teams in the playoffs that can survive if the players that guided their offense for the entire season are suddenly not in there. However, that's how it goes in sports and you just deal with it and move on.

Actually it wasn't shocking. South does not have a running back even close to what Che Hogue brings to the table, and I don't know why he didn't dress for the game. Then you add that Zach David is also out and they go with a soph backup QB with a conservative game plan, and you get what happened tonight. South threw three picks with one of those being a pick six. South was unable to move the ball on offense in the second half and the Bulldogs' strength is on their offensive side of the ball. NA spent much of the second half on South's side of the field with the Panthers' defense not getting much of breather. South kept a lid on those two key players not playing right up until just before game time. The beat writer for the Bloomington paper didn't tweet it until about 35 minutes before kickoff. Anyway, congrats to the Bulldogs for their first ever regional title and I assume they will get the unenviable task of trying to take down Cathedral. I haven't seen the Cathedral score, but I assume they will probably win their game.
