Yes, Broad Ripple Rockets always, even though BR does not exist anymore. 

My father was an assistant principal at Ripple from 1979-1997, Hank Easter.

Ben Davis game to lose I will go with BD wining 35 - 14. Ben Davis will stop the Iresh run game an bring presser that Irish cannot handle. 

   

Is the BR for the Rockets?

FIFY.

Are you like this at parties too? 

I said what I said. Sometimes you beat each other up. It can drain you at the end of the year. So, you bring in a college example. Cool. 

You win. Got me. Go spike a football in my crushed ego. Geez. 🤣

I could say the sky is blue, and you'd be like..."Is it though?"

How does the SEC dominate the CFP annually then?

I said something. Should have known you'd pick it up.

Some won't get on board with this until they win a 6A title.

Sometimes the competition this is a reason you don't. Those teams do sharpen each other, but it can also be an issue when you beat each other up. There are no weeks off.

My bad.

After you posted, I logged in and saw the thread. I disagree with the premise. The HCC is the best high school conference in Indiana, top to bottom. If BD doesn't make that comeback, things look markedly different for the MIC.

Same way you created an "HCC is overrated thread" on Harrell to brag about Ben Davis, lol...

I'm not even active on Harrell. I haven't been active on Harrell's message boards since the advent of Twitter. I'm there as johnnystir. Besides, I would never post anything like that. That's not who I am. 

I'll pick Penn which probably means that Crown Point will win.

Leave it to Temp to hijack a thread about Ben Davis and Cathedral to cry about his MIC agenda. I remember when temp was the bully and not the vic...

Wonder if MIC slappies will take some sort of credit if CG hoists the trophy again...where are they all at by the way?

Of course you don’t…because it means more trophies in BD’s case, lol.

You asked the question, I answered.

As will the "MIC 6"...when its convenient.

I don't count either Carmel or Center Grove as MIC teams any longer.

I am an advocate of neutral sites to host tournament games after the sectional round, and I think the facilities in Indiana are capable of a format with neutral site hosts for regional and semi-state.  Here are my hypothetical neutral site regional games for this year.  All games would be played at locations with turf fields.  This will reduce travel times and remove field conditions as a variable.   It also gives schools an opportunity to showcase the investment they have made in their facilities.

Neutral Site Regionals - Friday Night

6A

Crown Point/Penn @ Chesterton

HSE/Westfield @ Noblesville

Ben Davis/Cathedral @ Arsenal Tech

Warren Central/Center Grove @ Franklin Central

5A

Merrillville/Valparaiso @ Hobart

Mishawaka/FW Snider @ Warsaw

Decatur Central/Whiteland @ Southport

Bloomington South/Evansville North @ Jasper

4A

New Prairie/NorthWood @ SB St Joe

Leo/Mississinewa @ Huntington North

Mooresville/New Palestine @ Greenwood

East Central/Evansville Memorial @ Silver Creek

3A

West Lafayette/Knox @ Kankakee Valley

Delta/Indianapolis Chatard @ Pendleton Heights

Tri-West/Gibson Southern @ Bloomington North

Batesville/Heritage Hills @ Bedford NL

2A

LaVille/Lafayette Central Catholic @ Logansport

FW Luers/Bluffton @ Norwell

Southmont/Eastern Hancock @ Plainfield

Triton Central/North Posey @ Bedford North Lawrence

1A

North Judson/Park Tudor @ Northwestern

Carroll/Adams Central @ Oak Hill

Sheridan/North Decatur @ Greenfield Central

Indianapolis Lutheran/Providence @ Seymour

Lawrence North, Central or North Central would all be better sites than Howard Longshore Stadium.

Well the HCC does still have 2 teams still alive that are contenders in Westfield and Hamilton Southeastern. Brownsburg did have Ben Davis on the ropes and stumbled.

As for this game Ben Davis presents a lot of major challenges/obstacles for Cathedral both defensively and offensively. Ben Davis has also won the past 14 against Cathedral. The Irish haven't beaten the Giants since 1987, they were close between 2011-2013. They will have to play a terrific game to have a shot.

 

That 2011 game was notable because it went to OT. Coach Streiff went for the win, and the Giants stuffed them at the half yard line. I believe Antonio Allen made the initial hit.

Sounds like the Irish put out the fire well.

This game can be seen live at 7PM on TV station WNDE channel 23 in Indianapolis.

That would be WNDY TV 23 and heard on WNDE 1260 AM as well as ihsaatv.org.

That will buff right out. 

Seriously though, I'm glad no one was injured.

I knew about Bargersville in the 80's and 90's. My dad loved the big flea market down there. Of course, Temp will completely doubt me knowing what my dad did.

Eh, maybe guilty of that last accusation and appreciate that you own your mistakes…you owe me nothing.

That being said, words matter.  You have a history of being wrong (and I’m not talking solely about just picking football games) so I take many of your opinions with a grain of salt.  Nothing personal.

Fine. I'll take my leave then. I'm not wrong about what happened during the Warren/BD game though.

The same person applauding Ben Davis’ home crowd attendance all season when even someone who is blind in one eye can see it’s pretty pathetic, lol.

 

I don't know what else you want from me, Temp. I admitted I was wrong. I guess at this point, you just like to keep agitating. 

Cathedral had better not overlook the Wildcats.

Perplexing. Beautiful fall night for football and 2 powerhouses fighting to get closer to an achievable State Title. I would have went but the Better Half doesn’t like missing Zionsville games. 

It wasn't a small crowd. It just wasn't nearly as big as it could/should have been on the BD side. Brownsburg traveled the short distance and had that side looking impressive. Largest crowd I've seen over there in years.

Congrats on the win...great game and grit by Ben Davis to come back! Zachary is who I thought he is. But, C'mon man, you can't break out the "Tell Me" meme for that crowd. De Facto Sectional Championship with 2 of the top teams in the Midwest that are neighboring school districts in a beautifully renovated statdium and Ben Davis drew at most 40% (being generous) of their home stands. I'm really hoping we get to see a Ben Davis vs. Center Grove matchup. 

Last night's attendance was less than the Homecoming attendance. Don't know why. I was wrong, and I admit it.

It looked on TV that Brownsburg had a larger turnout of fans than BD. I would have thought that BD would have packed their side.

I haven't seen that side of the stands that full since it was the home side. Not sure what happened with our crowd. It was decent, but it was down from even the Homecoming game. I don't know. I was wrong. Not the first time. I'm making it a habit around here. At least I admit it though...others don't.

Harbaugh should have pulled the back to the NFL lever long ago.
