What a great league the Mid-State has become!

Gotcha. Sorry. It flew over my head. I withdrew my comment. My apologies.

Detroit King is a four-time State Champ (last time in 2018) and played in the title game in 2019. Sounds like they have a stellar athletic program. I'm not saying that Carmel should not have been the favorite, but this idea you seem to be implicating that... 1) Inner city schools are somehow deficient at athletics or... 2) That King is somehow a bad athletic program... is ridiculous.

You should look up four-time Michigan champion Detroit King.

Don't think so

I agree with your picks. We'll see exactly how good Center Grove is this week. Personally, I think Carmel will give them a game for a while. In the end, CG wins somewhere in the neighborhood of the score you have. Give me 31-14. Warren Central continues to improve under Mike Kirschner this week. Not sure how good North Central is, but I hear they are young. Warren 35-14. Incidentally, Kirsch has never lost as a head coach to North Central. He was a perfect 11-0 at BD. Pike plenty of times has come into Ben Davis in the last 15 years or so looking like a dud and left with a win or an inspiring performance. If the Giants play to their potential, this shouldn't be a game... I'll take BD 45-14. LN finally got over the hump against LC, and I think they do it again. LN 31, LC 14

I'll always respect the heck out of the Penn program, and it's hard to follow Chris Geesman and everything he did up there. Cory Yeoman is a good football coach. Still miss playing Penn every year. BD and the Kingsmen had some good battles. That said, after what the Irish are about to do to the Kingsmen, I think it will be a long ride back to Mishawaka. Health to both teams.

WELCOME BACK!

Oh, I know. I was just being funny (or trying to).

I don't want to cut down Avon as my father was a former head football coach there and played with Coach Bless' father at UIndy, but the Orioles had a very tough night defensively. Started out as a chippy shootout, but I was very impressed at how Ben Davis adjusted. Crishon McCray is the real deal Holyfield though. If they can get the defense figured out, they're going to be a tough team to beat. They're going to score 30 in a lot of games. If they can keep the other team under that, they're going to be much better. Also, Banks and Reese Taylor get a lot of attention as great BD quarterbacks, but Castner is probably #3 on that all-time list at BD. Kyle was smart, accurate, and had an arsenal of weapons to throw to.

I'm just shocked that team ended up on ESPN. It's not like they clearly didn't know if the announcers were saying it in the game.

Thumbs Up Ben Davis's J'uan Swanson who went 22 for 27 and 423 yards with 4 TDs and 1 INT in this game. His 423 broke Kyle Castner's 2014 school record of 377 yards passing in a game.

Time for contraction.🤣 Seriously though, what a run for Coach Ralph and the Dragons.

Not sure that was necessary. As far as this, I read the article yesterday. What an embarrassment by ESPN! All the great high school football, and they broadcast that. As an aside, if an Indiana school were to play on a Sunday, it would need a waiver from the IHSAA, correct?

Early for homecoming! Warren wins.

Tix are $8 here at BD. Likely a MIC-wide thing.

Knowing Mike Kirschner, there was some technical or logistical reason for this issue. Likely, as others have said, the game film would have been from last year since they didn't scrimmage. Mike's a first-class guy and doesn't play petty games.

Sure hope we get to play on Friday. I think both teams need it. Of course, safety first.

LN I think.

Well, I should have taken my victory. Guess I'm shell shocked from the debacle at the Big Oil Can🤣.

Brownsburg physically dominated Ben Davis. Congrats to Coach Hart and the Bulldogs. Same. Coach Simmons mentioned it on Inside Ben Davis Football it was a concern, so it was on their minds. Oh well. On to Avon.
