BDGiant93

I can't remember if it was in the first half or not, but BD came back to beat Carmel a few years back after being down 24-0 up at Carmel. BD won 28-24 in regulation. Sorry, that game was at BD.

I'll go Ditka 296, Center Grove -3 It'll be a close one there Bob.

From a competitive balance, this is interesting. From a travel perspective, it's not happening.

I doubt the Circle City Conference (a private school Catholic/Jesuit league) would willingly accept teams like Jeff or Harrison (public big outlying schools). Circle City=Indianapolis Conference Indiana is already on life support. I'm not sure how it's still alive, frankly.

Not to my knowledge.

Warren's defense is brutal. Pike won't have an answer, IMO. BD is coming around for sure.

Sorry, I misunderstood. My apologies. I thought you were referring to Brownsburg/Ben Davis for some reason. No room at the inn. It's my understanding (unconfirmed but I've heard) that BD is locked up with Brownsburg and Avon for the forseeable future in non-conference games. It would be fun, though.

May play again in the Regional. Coach Shanley has big school assistant coaching experience too. He was on Mike Kirschner's staff here at Ben Davis.

Great piece by WTHR on Cade Thompson...a Ben Davis sophomore football player who was diagnosed with cancer. Cade is the brother of Brock and Trevor Thompson and the son of former MLB player Ryan Thompson. https://www.wthr.com/article/sports/local-sports/cade-thompson-faces-unexpected-cancer-diagnosis/531-67a3abaf-7131-43f5-adc3-baabc10ea190

North Central, Center Grove, BD, and Warren

Including Ben Davis 76-7.

It would have been a very good spot, I agree.

He needed you as his agent.

So glad I never waded into that sea.

(BD had three defensive Indiana All-Stars including the defensive back Mr. Football in James Banks)

Four seasons, but I really saw a difference in the way the series was played during his time there. It became much more about the game than all the other stuff. Well, maybe you should have been paying more attention.

1991 Ben Davis outscored its opposition 651-125 in 14 games.

I was talking about DT's original statement. I'm not sure this team's even better than '08 CG yet. Long way to go. If I'm ranking them, I think they have the potential to be up there with '18 WC, '17 BD and teams like that. As far as if we're talking '06 WC or '91 BD, the jury's still out.

Credit to Mike Kirschner and John Hart for kind of setting this as the standard that both Coach Simmons and West have continued.

Great football game. Giants scored 14 unanswered in the 4th quarter to get the win. I really like what this rivalry has settled into. Competitive and fun. 5-5 over the last 10 meetings.

They're good. Not going to be that bold, but they are good.

H/T to John Harrell for the schedule.

I agree with you, DT. Trojan Dad is a fantastic guy and a great poster on the site. I will miss his insight. He's a class person.
