My only quarrel with John is that he doesn't recognize forfeits. If he's the official arbiter of history and stats, I think that's a weakness. I've had debates with him on this. He believes that it's what happened on the field/floor. In the rare case of the double forfeit...he just says the game never happened. His work though...underappreciated and revolutionary. I have no idea how we operated before (even though we did).

Good calls.

I imagine John having this basement bunker with 15 screens following 15 Twitter accounts and 15 more screens with every broadcast he can find. Then still frantically Google searching for a score of a game that's not being reported.

They'd better be ready. Shark's in the water. Ben Davis, Warren Central, Center Grove, Carmel be like...

6A did not disappoint. #1, #3, #6, and #9 (AP Poll) are gone. #2 went to OT with a 1-9 team. Warren, Ben Davis, Center Grove, and Carmel are swimming around like Jaws in Amity Island. LN finally tosses LC to the side after 12 years and 15 games.

I was surprised by Merrillville's big win. Congrats to the Pirates.

That would make sense.

Some bad teacher will be made to look very good by his students at WBDG as they broadcast the Ben Davis vs. Perry Meridian game tonight. http://nap.casthost.net:2199/start/WBDG/ It's audio only. I can't believe no one wanted to do this one on TV.

On Bless vs. Hart...both are transformational coaches. My father was coached by Coach Bless' father at Indiana Central. Both are parts of great Indiana coaching families. You can see what both have done for the programs they are in charge of now. On this game, I'll take Avon with a late score. Maybe 35-31 or something.

2014 Ben Davis... Pike @ Avon (Snow Game) Warren Center Grove Carmel The Giants had gotten shellacked by Carmel in the regular season and got down 17-0 then came back to win, 42-24. Needed late rallies to be Warren and Center Grove. Tight snow game in Sectional vs. Avon.

I think the current system is fine.

To be the champs, you got to beat the champs. Warren's still the champs. Late TD pushes the Warriors to the victory. Warren 14, NC 10

'06 per Almanac Sports.

I didn't mean any disrespect to LC. The Giants thought they had it bagged in the first quarter, but LC didn't quit.

They have to get over the LC block first.

I believe the Mid-State's been around since the 40's. 1942 per Almanac Sports. Decatur left & came back too. http://www.almanacsports.com/football/conference.php?conf_id=midstate

I give Jeff credit for putting a MIC team on their schedule. We didn't think LC was going to struggle this mightily this year. Seemed like a nice win early in the year.

Yeah, but it doesn't work that way. The middle school AD's formed the MIIC and have tiebreakers, but the MIC so far hasn't budged on this.

In the MIC Invite (Sectional 7) the likely Sectional Championship game comes first as Warren Central (6-3) travels to the northside to face the North Central Panthers (6-3). Both teams are co-MIC Champions and WC beat NC, 28-7 the first time out. Will the "Fighting O'Sheas" defeat the defending State Champs and draw some retribution for the Regional loss last season? I call Warren in a slobberknocker, 14-7. That means everyone should congratulate North Central on winning the game.

First conference championship in football EVER at North Central, and it's the first team out of the MIC "Big Four" to win a conference title, too. Very rarely have NC, LN, LC, or Pike (or THN and THS for that matter) flirted with the conference title. Even though it was shared with BD, Warren, and Carmel, it's significant. Really proud of Ben Davis. Wish they had not stubbed their toe against LC. I think the Giants are still playing their best football, and I'll be honest...I never saw them beating Warren, Carmel, and NC after the way they played against Avon and Center Grove. That's why they play the games, though. Jason Simmons should get some credit for keeping his team focused. When they're on, they'll be a tough out in the tournament.

@DT has never respected Mike Kirschner. Never.

You railed against Tom Allen, Mike Kirschner and now Jason Simmons...so carry on.

Perry joined the Mid-State because they didn't want to travel to Terre Haute and Bloomington. I don't believe Southport was interested in joining the Mid-State from my conversations with Perry Township folks. Brand new stadium facility. Would seem like someone would want to coach there if the current coach moves on. If he stays, I wish them luck. It's a proud program. Steve Purichia did a great job down there. You're spot on about the Mid-State though. It's a stellar conference.

Congratulations to Coach Shanley. A really good guy who's done a great job.
