Regional scores and updates
BDGiant93 replied to Mod22's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Ben Davis 32, Brownsburg 14 Giants advance to take on Center Grove in the Semi-State. Great win for the program and Coach Simmons. That's now his third Regional putting him behind Dick Dullaghan (13) and Mike Kirschner (4) in the BD history books in just his fourth season as head coach. -

Favorite Tournament Moments
BDGiant93 replied to MICFan34's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
That Evans run was electrifying. What a football game. 1990, My first high school State Championship game witnessed as a fan as the Ben Davis Giants defeat the Marion Giants. 1991, As a high school junior, witnessing the Ben Davis Giants win the National Championship. I was the statistician for WBDG and went through many pencils. Got to see the state game from the sidelines. 1992, Got to call the 5A Championship Game on WBDG where Seth Ziegel kicked a field goal late to win the game for Fort Wayne Snider. 1999, Damon Fine nails a 56-yard field goal to defeat Arlington in Regional 2000, James Banks leads a late drive with no timeouts and scores to defeat Decatur Central in Sectional. 2001, James Banks takes a poorly snapped ball on 4th down deep in Warren Central territory and weaves his way for a touchdown. 2002, Playing on a soupy field at Warren Central, Ben Davis stuffs Warren on 4th down to preserve a 35-28 OT win in Regional. 2008, Ben Davis goes across town and thumps Warren, 45-28, in Regional to advance to Semi-State. 2011, Ben Davis overcomes a 28-7 deficit in the second half to beat Brownsburg in Sectional, 38-31, in 2OT. 2014, BD beats WC in a shootout at home. Then they defeat CG in the Semi-State. They get down 17-0 to Carmel before scoring the next 42 points to win State, 42-24, over the Hounds who had beaten them 37-7 in the regular season. The 2014 Giants remain my favorite Ben Davis Football Team. I cried happy tears for my friend Mike Kirschner. 2017, BD leaves no doubt in a 63-14 win over Penn that wasn't that close. The Giants set all sorts of records in that one. 2018, After allowing 70 points in the regular season, the Giants worry the heck out of Warren Central before falling to the Warriors 49-28 in the Sectional. Yeah, it was a blowout, but after the 3-6 regular season, the Giants played hard and left it all on the field. 2019, After finishing the regular season 5-4, BD nearly stuns the Center Grove Trojans and nearly advances to the State Championship game. A late drive was thwarted by a fumble. 2020, Ben Davis upsets the Carmel Greyhounds in Regional. -
New Pal @ Cathedral
BDGiant93 replied to Olympian06's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
It would be up to the opposing school to bring this to the attention of the IHSAA. I know Ben Davis had a situation where they played a varsity game a few years back where a basketball player played too many quarters, and it was not pushed so the game is still a win for that team (which shall remain nameless) even though it was known it happened. For clarity, the team was not Cathedral, Center Grove, or New Pal. -
Best Program in Southern Part of State
BDGiant93 replied to fenderbender's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I know, and you explained it well, but I didn't read the post well enough before commenting which was clearly stupid on my part.🤪 -
New Pal @ Cathedral
BDGiant93 replied to Olympian06's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Not sure when you played, but most places use assigners now. I've occasionally seen a BD grad work a BD game, but the Athletic Dept. just pays the refs that get assigned here. -

What are we considering southern? UPDATE: Never mind. Reading is fundamental. -
Hoosier Highschool Football Interview with Bobref

Don't take this as gospel because I don't know what Coach Simmons does. I do know that for years, BD's Sectional included Northwest, Tech, Perry, Southport, Decatur, Pike, and a rotating team that at times included Manual and Franklin Central. Back in those days, they would spend most of their time on their prospective Regional opponent. That was in the Dullaghan/Allen days. So, back then, they'd get three weeks of prep for Warren. In more recent times, the Sectional has included the Hendricks County powerhouses or Derek Moyers' Pike outfit. One year, BD had to play through Moyers and Pike, Avon, Warren, Center Grove, and Carmel to win State. The last three years, they've gotten a better draw. I don't expect that will continue into next year. I would fully expect the Giants to be moved around. Zionsville and Carmel will have to go somewhere. Since the IHSAA won't split same district schools into different Sectionals, Perry/Southport, LN/LC, HSE/Fishers are all a package deal. Then you have the singletons like Tech who is the only 6A in IPS, BD, Warren, Pike, NC, and FC. Should be interesting to see where BD gets shuffled when the committees get together.

Center Grove @ Lawrence North
BDGiant93 replied to Grover's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I have not seen much Wing T from LN the last few years we've played them. As far as the game goes, LN is maybe the best defensive team not named Center Grove in the MIC. I think they're underappreciated on that side of the football. Offensively, it comes down to Omar Cooper and Ali Richardson and what they can do. This likely won't be a running clock game, but CG definitely should have the advantage in the end. Center Grove 35, Lawrence North 14 -
The Bulldogs make the 15 minute trek through Clermont on Crawfordsville Road, and up Girls School Road to face the Giants of Ben Davis. The Bulldogs look awfully mighty right now flexing their muscles with a 31-7 win over the Carmel Greyhounds, but they're catching a Ben Davis team that has used a favorable schedule and Sectional to get much healthier and better. The Giants are 6-5 but woulda coulda shoulda been 9-3 right now. Of course, one of those bigger losses was to Brownsburg in week one in a game where BD looked flat in the second half. This one likely comes down to the fourth quarter. You know who I'm picking. I have the Giants winning Regional #20 in a squeaker. What say you?

Ben Davis was up 49-14 at the half last night at Tech. There was an altercation in the home stands that spilled into the parking lot, and that resulted in the Tech administration clearing the stands of all fans. Tech apparently tried to forfeit the game, but they were not allowed to do so by, I'm told, the IHSAA. Is there some clause in the rules that governs this? The second half was played without fans and the Giants won 49-20.

MIC Sectional Finals
BDGiant93 replied to MICFan34's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
We have a full weekly 30-minute show with Coach Simmons on WBDG. https://audioboom.com/playlists/4632315-inside-ben-davis-football Carmel looked pretty average. Tough night for the 'Hounds. Brownsburg was definitely more fired up and ready to go! -
Running clock in the playoffs

Yes. 100 percent for it. BD and Tech was 42-0 after the first quarter. Giants were subbing out in the second quarter up 49-0. -

MIC Sectional Finals

Everyone always says this, but 32 Sectionals in what 48 years of the tourney is impressive.
