Solid picks and rationale. I flip Ben Davis and Center Grove...you know...the huge homer thing (BD 31, CG 28). As long as one doesn't get completely doors blown off by the other, there's no shame in losing to the other team. If Center Grove beats the Giants, I will tip my cap. BD and CG (and Brownsburg) are some of the best teams we've seen around in a while. It just happens they all have/had the unfortunate luck to play in the same year/same class/same geographic area with each other.

There are no free streams...at least live. The IHSAA hires out the Semi-State round and charges $12 or $20 (for all) to pay for it. The IHSAA has exclusive rights to all their tournament games, so there's no broadcast unless it's approved. Approved broadcasters below: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSzG2aGkgcfTsaj3F43ZayN410HvYnV_Dl64LVgOG58aic_eiu8taErApPltau2WiR9V06dPJIV0d2a/pubhtml

I think it was on cassette. We've been recording digitally for the last 15 years or so at WBDG.

BD coach records vs CG: Dullaghan 7-2 Allen 3-0 Kirschner 5-9 Simmons 0-8 Mann 0-0

4-3 was a game where Center Grove scored all the points. A field goal, a safety for holding in the end zone, and a safety for the punter stepping out of bounds. Here's the broadcast on WBDG. https://audioboom.com/posts/8152957-the-4-3-game-center-grove-ben-davis-football-2006

Well played.

That's not true. They'd win by a much bigger margin than that. 🤣 🤥

Dick Dullaghan, Chris Geesman, Bud Wright, Eric Moore

When the Great Temptation speaks it from the basement where he stations himself, it's law.

I could be wrong, but I see this as a coin flip game. I think there's a good chance that this could come down to a last possession-type finish. Still riding with the Giants, though.

Yes, that's accurate.

I'm from Ben Davis and a "huge homer"...but I don't disagree. Brownsburg, Ben Davis and Center Grove all three are some of the best teams we've seen in Indiana in the 6A class. It's a shame they all are in the same geographic area.

Eric Moore and the Trojans roll into the Westside to face Russ Mann and the Giants. Should be another classic! Giants win it by 3, 31-28. It's a coin flip game.

Great football game. Cathedral is a first-class program. Glad this game will become a yearly thing in the regular season the next few seasons.

Final Ben Davis 27, Cathedral 24 Alvin Contreras picks off a pass in the end zone. Giants able to go to the victory formation to win Regional #21.

Ben Rudolph good on a 40 yard FG to give the Giants a 27-24 lead over Cathedral with 2:38 to play.

Both defenses feasting now. Neither offense can do much. Someone's going to have to make a play as Ben Davis gets the ball back with 4:38 to play at the Cathedral 47

Danny O'Neil is tough as nails. Guy's been banged up all night. He's still makin' plays. Coach Prime can pick 'em. Still tied. Giants defense has held. Giants ball back at their own 30. Tied at 24.

Giants go for an inexplicable fake punt and give the Irish the ball at the Cathedral 49 in a tie game with 9:12 to play.

Final Center Grove 14, Warren Central 0

Touchdown Irish 10:21 to play... Ben Davis and Cathedral tied at 24. Gonna be a classic finish.

Ben Davis 24, Cathedral 17 End 3rd Irish driving

Still 14-0 Center Grove leading Warren with 3:33 to go.

Touchdown Giants on a 48-yd run by Alijah Price. Ben Davis leads 24-17 over Cathedral 2:51 to play in the 3rd.

Tied up. Irish with 10 unanswered. Ben Davis 17, Cathedral 17 with 8:01 to play in the 3rd.
