Floyd Central won that game the exact way they lost the Seymour game last season. Nonetheless, it’s a win our program needed BADLY. Floyd Central has a pretty good offense with some good weapons but their pass defense is struggling. I’m not sure why because there are experience DBs in that secondary. If they don’t get that solved the game against Seymour in a few weeks could be a game in the 40s.

Floyd Central up 27-13 over Terre Haute South in the 4th Qtr. FCs offense has been really solid.

FC and THS is tied at 13 at Half. FCs offense looks good. But their pass defense has some issues. They’ve given up some long TD passes.

Brown County might be the worst team in Southern Indiana.

Bad deal for Floyd Central. Lost a home game where it looked like they’d have a pretty good crowd on hand. Now at BNL, it’s a crapshoot. I felt confident that Floyd would win tonight. It’s obvious that BNL is close.

It looks like FC and THS will be cancelled. I’m sure there won’t be any make up either.

FC stands are evactuated for lightning.

Yep. Not an easy place to win. I have some family attending the school and athletics can be a struggle there. I agree with that! Ok, let’s call it, the “Northern South.” 😆

Bloomington North. BNL has a good team though. JC. Panthers by a lot. CAL. They’ll name their score against NA. Columbus North. They’ll win the battle of Columbus. Seymour. The Owls will win big. They have a really good team. FC. I think my Highlanders will get it done at home. THS is nothing to write home about and Floyd Central had moments of competitiveness against one of the best teams in the Midwest.

I see where Salem and Brian Glesing lost 35-7 to North Harrison this past Friday. Leaving Floyd Central hasn’t been a successful move yet.

I actually watched highlights of that game because I’m always pulling for th HHC teams in non conference. Shrake from Martinsville reminds me a lot of our RB Mitch Bernardi.

I can definitely see that. I think FC having home games against Seymour, BNL, and Jennings County is a big advantage. But as always, that trip to East is worrisome. Honestly, the way this conference is, we could beat Seymour and then go up to Jeffersonville the next week and get beat. That kind of stuff happens all the time around here.

Floyd Centrals Freshman team beat St Xs Freshman team 34-20. That seems rather significant. St X had 80 freshman. Floyd Centrals Middle School teams have been dominant the past few years. This team blewout every team they played last season.

I have no idea how good South Dearborn is, but Jennings County scoring 41 points seems significant.

I didn’t get my picks in on time. I’ll try to do better next week. I did however make the trip to Louisville St Xavier. I tell you what. St X is a legit football experience. They run their show like a championship football program. Just so impressed seeing their facilities, their organization, their huge stadium, the people tailgating. I mean it’s a big deal in Louisville. Way more impressive than what I’ve seen over at Male. St X was the dominant force I figured they’d be. But I came away pretty damn encouraged by what Floyd Central did over there. They could’ve easily made this game a lot closer. They were able to run the ball pretty effectively against a pretty stout defense. Their O-Line is pretty big and having Bernardi back is a godsend. He showed off his speed and power several times including a couple long kick returns. Way too many drops by their WRs on some pretty well schemed passing plays. A couple of turnovers inside the 20. Some pretty bad punts that gave St X great field position. All in all, I think FC can play a whole lot better than they did tonight and if they do they’re going to win a lot of games.

Louisville St X is ranked #1 in 6A in the coaches poll.

I’ll do it this year

Well they have some good skill guys. They should be a pretty good team this season.

Do you think Loudon will throw the ball more or will they run more of an Spread option attack?

Is there anything better than Pizza and Beer? Besides football?

I watched Floyd Central vs Charlestown. It’s always so hard to tell from these scrimmages because nobody really gameplans for each other. But if I were just throwing something at the wall, I’d say that our offense looked substantially better than it has been the past few seasons and defensively we have some things to work out with run defense. We have 4 starters back on the OL and it showed. They pretty much mowed down Charlestown and Robertson had all day to throw the ball. He threw some beautiful passes. Everything was right on the money. His go to guy Kaiser is 6”4 and has a lot of speed. He’s one of our basketball studs. They missed Bernardi last season but he looked like a machine running the ball against a 3A team. I thought we did well and had a lot of guys sitting out because of practice eligibility.

Saw the Floyd Central-Charlestown scrimmage. Both teams look like they’ll have a good season.

He said on the radio that he thinks there are 5 teams in the conference that are loaded. I’m not sure what his definition of that is? He also said he has the best freshman class that he’s had in years, and I’ll point out that they lost the Clark/Floyd Championship last year to Highland Hills(Floyd Central Feeder.)

Pretty good quote from coach Bragg in the Tribune today about the HHC. “I think it’s awesome because every week — week-in and week-out — in the HHC, somebody could win. Everybody’s improved. Everybody has good coaching staffs. We’re younger coaching staffs and sometimes they get overlooked. But every single one of our coaches in our conference makes adjustments at halftime, makes adjustments during the game and keeps you thinking during the week, and that’s huge. I don’t know who’s going to win the conference. Of course we want to win it, but every week we’ve got to show up. You can’t take anybody lightly in this conference because they could always come back to haunt you.”
