Sectional Week 2 Lawrenceburg at Scottsburg North Harrison at Salem Mitchell at Providence Triton Central at Paoli North Central at Perry Central Tecumseh at West Washington I think Salem is on a mission and will when the second time around against North. It should be a great game though. I think the other picks are all pretty straightforward.

Sectional Week 2 (1 for 5a) Columbus East at Franklin Central Seymour at Whiteland Jeffersonville at Floyd Central I doubt there will be much debate on the picks this week!

Thanks. I just copied and pasted from Harrell's site.

Sectionals Week 1 East Central at Silver Creek, 7 pm Brownstown at Lawrenceburg, 7 pm Rushville at Scottsburg, 7 pm Greensburg at Charlestown, 7 pm Bosse at North Harrison, 7:30 pm Corydon at Salem, 7 pm Mitchell at Eastern, 7 pm Paoli at Clarksville, 7 pm North Posey at Crawford County, 7:30 pm Perry Central at Springs Valley, 7:30 pm West Washington at North Daviess, 7 pm There will be some great games on tap this Friday. There are definitely some coin tosses here.

Sectionals Week 1 Jennings County at Martinsville Mooresville at Madison Slim pickins this week! Pretty straightforward, too.

Those are all definitely some good stories.. I have to throw Silver Creek into that mix. They were a brand new program 8 years ago. They just completed their first undefeated season and conference title in school history. Naturally, they get rewarded with a 7-2 East Central visit for the first round of sectionals, but that is for another thread 😆. Congrats to Coach Papenhaus and co.

It seems as though we've lost a lot. We've been very fortunate to have a reasonably normal season in the midst of all the craziness this year. It's been very interesting for all. Salem/WW is always interesting. Both teams are having a great year. Good luck to both this week!

This thread is not very active! Plenty of interesting happenings this year. Congrats to Silver Creek on their first ever MSC championship! Week 9 Clarksville at North Harrison Eastern at Charlestown Salem at West Washington Scottsburg at Brownstown Silver Creek at Corydon Washington at Paoli North Daviess at Springs Valley Perry Central at Mitchell Tecumseh at Crawford County

Week 9 Columbus East at Madison Jeffersonville at Bedford NL New Albany at Jennings County Seymour at Floyd Central Only toss up this week looks to be Jeff/BNL.

LOL I don't know about all that. This stuff can be a real crap shoot. I just don't have an allegiance to a particular team so I can be neutral in my picks. You all have to make the homer call sometimes and I get that!

Week 8 Brownstown at Silver Creek Charlestown at Salem Corydon at Clarksville Eastern at Scottsburg North Harrison at Crawford County Game of the year - Brownstown at SC. Can SC get over the hump and beat Brownstown? I am going with the "upset" pick there. The question I have is, if Brownstown wins and both win their last game, does SC still win the conference since they'd be 7-1 and Brownstown would only be 6-1? Mitchell at Paoli Springs Valley at Perry Central West Washington at Washington

Week 8 Floyd Central at Bedford NL Jeffersonville at Jennings County Madison at New Albany Seymour at Columbus East Madison/NA is tough to pick as well as Madison seems to be playing. It should be a good game. Jeff should get on track at JC. The others seem like no contest.

Congrats to Madison on their victory against Jeff. That is the first time in history they have defeated them.

I like this as a whole, but SC to the HHC isn't happening and it really shouldn't. They are just emerging in football as competitive and are buoyed by a strong senior class. They will come back to Earth a bit next season. Their enrollment is just above 900. That is roughly the same size school as Madison, which is now leaving the HHC due to being so small. The next smallest school in the HHC is Jennings County, with an enrollment of over 1200. In football, SC would struggle against schools that are nearly twice their size. Right now, they could compete in basketball because they have some outstanding talent, but that too will pass. I am always for more non-conference games so that it provides some flexibility in scheduling. A small school/big school format conference would allow for that.

There is no one way to frame this... In some smaller communities there just aren't many qualified coaches. Sometimes a dad may be the most qualified guy. I can say I've coached with several dads over the years, and I've never had an issue at all. It needs to be laid out there the expectation of team above kid, but if you go in with that, I think you've done what you can. Like I said, I've had no bad experience with it at the high school level. Some weren't terribly qualified, but it was all we had and they did what they could and weren't a pain. Others were highly qualified and were some of the best coaches we had. Now you want to talk MS and youth level? I've seen plenty of problems there with how dad coaches are.

Week 7 Clarksville at Brownstown Corydon at Charlestown North Harrison at Silver Creek Rock Creek at Scottsburg Salem at Eastern Crawford County at Paoli Perry Central at West Washington Providence at Mitchell Springs Valley at Tecumseh

Week 7 Bedford NL at Columbus East Jennings County at Floyd Central Madison at Jeffersonville New Albany at Seymour I think Madison/Jeff and NA/Seymour are both tough calls this week. Madison has found their offense and Seymour has improved as well, with both Jeff and NA riding losing streaks.

Defense? What defense? 😁

Week 6 Charlestown at Scottsburg Eastern at North Harrison Salem at Corydon Seymour at Brownstown Silver Creek at Clarksville Shortridge at Paoli Mitchell at Madison Perry Central at Eastern West Washington at North Central Salem/Corydon looks like the game of the week. It's a tough call. Both are playing well. I'll give Salem the nod after a nice streak beating Brownstown then hammering Clarksville.

Week 6 Bedford NL at Terre Haute South Columbus East at Floyd Central Connersville at Jennings County Mitchell at Madison New Albany at Bloomington North Seymour at Brownstown @Fkfootball You got ahead of the schedule for Jeff and Madison. Jeff has a bye this week since they couldn't fill week 6. Madison plays Mitchell. On paper, this should be the closest FC/CE game in years. Maybe even enough for FC to pull it off. I am rooting for the upset to end the streak, but have to go with CE for the pick. NA seems to be sliding after a nice win to start the season against BHSS. BHSS beat BHSN but you know how that works when trying to figure out a winner. Madison is tough to peg, but coming off a nice win versus rival, JC, perhaps they have some momentum to carry them to another W.

Interesting. I did not realize that. I think it would be an interesting matchup. Jeff is struggling right now and Greensburg has been very solid for some time now. Like I said, with no AD in place, I wonder if anything is even being pursued.

Crawford has shutdown for several weeks due to COVID. It is the whole corporation, not just the team. I think that CC was supposed to play SV that week. I would guess Jeff is still trying, but with no AD currently in the fold there, who knows what is getting done. The majority of week 6 open dates are probably too far north for it to be worth it for Jeff. The closest would be Greensburg. I could see that being an interesting one. New Albany went just a bit further north for their matchup with Eastern Hancock.

Yes, not sure how I missed that. Thanks.

Week 5 Brownstown at North Harrison Charlestown at Providence Clarksville at Salem Corydon at Eastern Scottsburg at Silver Creek Paoli at West Washington Tecumseh at Perry Central Tell City at Springs Valley

Week 5 Floyd Central at Jeffersonville Jennings County at Madison New Albany at Columbus East Seymour at Bedford NL A couple of tough calls this week as I could see JC/Madison and Seymour/BNL going either way.
