I know Ben Davis has contracted officials years in advance. Is it possible something like that has fallen through the cracks?

Well I'm the genius who thought BD might have a shot vs Center Grove. 🤦🏻‍♂️

BD is not responding to adversity very well. Had the chance to be in the lead at halftime, but the pick six on the first possession of the second half seemed to devastate the team. Friday night will be a major challenge...hoping we have something for WC.

Oh boy, here we go! As a 1A fan I love the MIC vs. The World discussions. 3,2,1....

Cool.

I think there is a lot of parity in 6A this year, still waiting for that dominant team and there might not be one.  I think each team has earned their current position but would be shocked if anyone ran the table.

6A is wide open. Might be the year for someone outside the MIC to take it.

I might be with you here. Both of these teams need this W big time to get the season on track. Hard to imagine a CG-BD matchup where the teams are a combined 1-5 but here we are. 

 

I'd say Center Grove is the most deceptive 0-3 team I've seen in a while. They're playing good defense, and I think we all know why the offense is struggling a bit.

Penn doesn't strike me as a particularly strong program, given results of the past 5 years, and the lack of higher level talent moving on to the next level.

 

 

57-11 (including the 1-2 start this year) with 4 Sectionals, 4 Regionals, and 2 Semi-State Titles.

Yeah, horrible program. 🙄

Good on you then. Just know that what you heard is not accurate.

Have a great day.

Center Grove 17-14, LN 21-14, Carmel 35-7, Warren 28-14

Avon 35-31, Fishers 17-7, Westfield 24-7, Zionsville 28-21

I flipped that first score around. Give me Ben Davis 17-14.

I don’t vote this year (1st time in a long time) but I’m not convinced Avon is the #1 team in 6A. They have been hard to judge in 2 games because their opponents have played sub-par football. Perhaps Avon’s defense had something to do with that? If they are still spotless after week #4 then I will be onboard. 

I voted them #1 simply because I think they've been the most consistent team thus far. I still think Warren may be the #1 squad, but that will shake itself out later.

There has been plenty of talk here about Penn possibly going independent, and adopting a more regional schedule with additional big names from out of state..

 

 

"There has been plenty of talk here by me about Penn possibly going independent..."

There, I fixed it for you.

And you “might” be biased...

And I won't deny this. You can ask anyone (heck, even DT) about my integrity though. I'll let my 13 years on this board as a member stand for itself.

Center Grove 17-14, LN 21-14, Carmel 35-7, Warren 28-14

Avon 35-31, Fishers 17-7, Westfield 24-7, Zionsville 28-21

Unless things have changed, BDGiant93 and his WBDG crew are in the visitors press box across from the home stands. However, being a Ben Davis teacher I would think he is privy to factual information that those such as I do not know.

We are now in the home press box, and I came out of my perch to help. 

It doesn't matter. People are going to believe what they believe.

I heard a different “report” from those in attendance...

I was in attendance.

Just going by what was reported...

"New security rules for people attending football games at Ben Davis High School are now being enforced after a recent fight between students from different schools during last week’s home football game."

"The MSD Wayne Township Schools superintendent said the fight was between Ben Davis students and students from outside the district, prompting the new security measures to be considered."

The first two paragraphs.

In your estimation, was it more about Pike making serious strides or more of BD having a lot of work to do?

Agree with Temptation.

On 9/7/2019 at 4:40 PM, Temptation said:

Yet the new rules are in response to an altercation ONLY involving BD students, so my point still stands...

That's not accurate.

I think this will be a close game. Warren wins by a late TD.

WC 35, LC 28

BD-Pike was an entertaining game, but I think both teams have a lot of work to do.

Dr. Butts has commented publicly, so I feel as if I can comment. These updated security measures were related to an altercation in the home stands during the Avon/BD game. I witnessed much of it.

Last night, the game, to my knowledge and from what I saw, went off without incident.

From the link "Metal detectors will continue to be in place at every gate." 

Maybe you are taking your child to the wrong place if they need metal detectors at the games. 

This is the reality at most Marion County schools. BD is not the only school with metal detectors. I have been wanded also at most MIC schools. We have the wand detectors at BD.

Being on the visiting side at BD many times, I can say it's my favorite place to travel to for a game. The concessions are 2nd to no one and it isn't that far from the stands. Plus there's usually a lot of room in the visiting stands there because the grandstand is very spacious for an away side. 

BD's away side is the former home side. It seats probably 4K conservatively. There's always plenty of room.

The way I understand it is that you are still free to sit on the Ben Davis side, there is just a certain gate you need to enter through. It says anyone associated with Wayne Township schools or those rooting for BD. As long as you aren't affiliated with the visitor, you should be okay.

Perhaps @BDGiant93 can elaborate further. 

I'm not sure how the practice went down at the gate.

.Ben Davis remains the favorite in sectional 6 (though keep an eye on Southport).

 

Nothing is a given right now.

Coach Willen passes during Homecoming week. It's only appropriate, I guess. 

I did not ever meet the man in person, but I had many many conversations about Warren Central with WC grad, Mike Kirschner. He mentioned Coach Willen often. I know he was the kind of teacher we all hope to be. My condolences to everyone on the Eastside and to all the players and staff. Coach Willen has the best seat in the house now. Sending you all love from the Westside.

I get the image of John sitting in his basement saying, at about 10:30 pm, "WHERE IS THAT GARY LIGHTHOUSE SCORE??"

Thanks John for all you do!

Thanks again for doing this each week WC!
