Update: 2nd Quarter Ben Davis 28 Archbishop Moeller (OH) 14 At Mt. St. Joseph's University

End of the 1st Quarter Ben Davis 21 Archbishop Moeller (OH) 14 At Mt. St. Joseph's University

Watched the Ben Davis/Westfield scrimmage. The Giants looked pretty good. I think defensively they only gave up one big play over the top and spent a lot of time in Westfield's offensive backfield defensively. On offense, BD moved the ball very easily into Westfield's territory. They bogged down in the red zone, and that's disappointing and something to work on. Unfortunately, the stream cut out and I didn't get to see the Giants scrimmage Carmel.

Penn and Ben Davis have a mutual respect for each other dating back to Dullaghan and Geesman.

Ben Davis has an AD and an assistant AD , but they have two athletic secretaries (One of those secretaries is also an assistant football coach). At different times in the past, the department has had a second assistant AD but not for several years.

That's what I have been told by coaches. Like I said, I'm not aware of financials.

I have not heard of any specific financials on the IMG game. I can certainly ask. I believe BD is anticipating a large gate for the game. Again, as I stated earlier, I really believe the friendship of Jason Simmons and one of the coaches at IMG started the ball rolling on this one.

Football games in weather?

They scored 14 in the second half. That's it.

Either that or just do away with this PHD degree needing level of trying to figure out where the heck you're going to playing the next game. "Home team is the Regional non-host but only if the team came from an even Sectional and played a team that started with the letter B and led after the first quarter but not if they hosted the Regional six years ago...blah blah..."

WC's Mike Kirschner has long advocated for a 1-32 seeding in the 6A tournament by the Sagarins. Home team is the higher seed.

It was 49-7 at the half in that game against Penn. If BD had left in Reese and the rest of the guys, it would have been MUCH worse. Should the Giants have benched everyone in the second quarter? I mean it was 28-7 after one. I mean, what do you want them to do? That team was one of the best ALL TIME in Indiana. Same for the Warren teams under Kevin Wright and Steve Tutsie that embarrassed everyone (including Ben Davis, 76-7, in '06). As the 76-7 game and BD football history pre-1977 shows, the Giants have taken plenty of embarrassments...some fairly recently. The 2018 season wasn't fun at all.

It's my understanding that the previous BD HC, Jason Simmons, has a relationship with someone on the IMG staff. I believe that's what got the ball rolling. Listen, I don't know what's going to happen that night or if Ben Davis has any shot, but I think it speaks well for the program and for Indiana High School Football that IMG wanted to come and play here. I also know there has been tremendous interest in the game from not only BD folks. If the Giants get shellacked, it will be what many expect. If they are competitive, it will really show the team where they are against one of the country's best.

That's correct, but he just became the AD last year.

I'm glad you're here. I'll say it straight to your face.

DONE!

Possible. Admin changes.

I mean, you remember all the MIC drama, right?

I was told Warren "had to" drop Center Grove.

Ron Sexton (aka Donnie Baker, Floyd the Trucker, Kenny Tarmac and so many others) was so amazingly talented. I met him early in my teaching career when I was the GM of WRFT at Franklin Central. He was a big time believer in the power of high school radio, which gave him his start. Many also don't realize that he was a talented sports anchor back in the Mark Patrick days at WISH-TV in Indy. He served on IHSAA broadcasts as well when WNDY had the rights to the state tourney. To say I knew him well would be an overstatement, but enough people who I know have nothing but high praise for him as a man. He'll be missed. Linked is one of my favorite Bob & Tom bits where two of Ron's characters met up in the Ronaverse. That guy was so talented. The degree of difficulty of this as a voice actor is ridiculous.

I mean, it's one spot different. It's not like five spots.

Any reason for LN over LC? LC has a lot coming back. Will Patterson has done a phenomenal job there.

No.

Solid number on BD. I could see the Giants winning up to 8 games though if things fall right. Lots of good experience coming back, but I think 6.5 is a reasonable guess.
