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.

Like I said, you do you. Middle schoolish. Y'all are so cool.🙄

Enjoy the games.

This is an interesting Sectional, especially with Lawrence Central playing better.

LOL, gotta love folks who blindly follow and don't question things..."pranksters"...

I talked to the people who chased down the pranksters. It's what it was. But, you know...you do you.

• Brownsburg vs. Ben Davis: Is this a true road game for the 'Dogs? I would imagine they'll outdraw the Giants in fan attendance. I'm taking Brownsburg to solidify they now own the West Side and take 4 straight against Ben Davis by 6 points.

Tell me you have not been to a Ben Davis game this year without telling me you have not been to a Ben Davis game this year.

Also, BD leads the series 7-5 vs Brownsburg and is 5-1 in the playoffs vs the Bulldogs. Brownsburg has won the last two vs. BD. It's 5/6 overall, but the 1 for the Giants is pretty big. 

I think this one is a coinflip game. Should be a real war.

I'm picking the purple team!

Let's hope the weather is clear and there are no loud 'pops' in the area.

Well, first of all, your pick is solid.

Secondly, if you're referring to the WC/BD game, those were pranksters outside the stadium in the woods with fireworks and that loophole has now been closed by Wayne Twp. School Police. If you're coming in to the game, arrive early. There will be delays at the gate for the security lines. If you arrive at 6:45 pm for the 7:00 pm game, you may miss action. Gates open at 6 pm.

Who ya got?

Coin flip. I'll take the Giants with a late score. Ben Davis 35, Brownsburg 28

Early on I was going to Avon's football games to enjoy the band.  Then it happened.  Went to the band show and a football game broke out. They looked like a deserving team against Franklin Central...... losing in the last seconds.  Followed it up with a one score loss to Fishers.  Ended the season with 2 wins.  

Avon's history against Pike in the playoffs is very good.  I believe Pike has but one win out of 6 in the last 15 years.  O's will win this one and host the sectional championship!

The learning curve is getting shorter. That Avon team played BD closer than the final score indicated earlier this year. They scored a lot of points on the burg too.

So now who has a contact at the IHSAA and can share this with them? Outstanding work, btw

They'll get right on that after the Sectionals are seeded.

Carmel has always dominated the country club sports, that is a surprise to no one.  

Their football and basketball teams are in decline.

Next...

If you start talking contraction, I'll think maybe another person has taken over your account 🤣

You can only put 11 varsity football players on the field at once.  Same with basketball.  Two sports in which Carmel is not among the state's elite currently.  Not a coincidence.

You're trying really hard though.  Its cute.

Yep.  Moore is one hell of a coach.  The exception, not the rule.

Eric Moores don't grow on trees.

I would argue that Carmel is still pretty darn elite in basketball. They certainly came the closest margin-wise to beating BD last year. Coach Osborn is a heck of a basketball coach and so was Scott Heady before him.

Your point on the 11 on the field is very valid. I remember having a discussion with Mike Kirschner one time where he talked about the "You have 4000 kids in your school" argument. He said that everyone that everyone that could help the team was pretty much out. I think they had 150 kids out around that time.

2016: Drubbing to eventual 6A champion Ben Davis in the regional who went 15-0 and arguably one of the best 6A teams ever

That was not the 2017 BD team that went 14-0 and won state. In 2016, the Giants lost to Center Grove in the Semi-State. The 2016 team went 9-4.

They might have been one of the best teams in the nation that year. So much talent and so fun to watch.

The 2017 Giants were special. They had a challenge in the Sectional against Warren that year which became the 14-0 Warren team that won state in 2018. Other than that and a tough first half against LC also in the Sectional, the 2017 Giants were not touched.

Again, using transitive scores, BD literally squeaked by Warren 31-28 and Snider smacked around Warren 42-20 at Warren with 14 of the 20 points being a special teams TD and a pick 6. It just seems like Temptation picks and chooses what he wants to substantiate his argument. We all have differing opinions

CG struggled with LN and Moeller...BD didn't. Well CG smacked LC and BD struggled. Be careful with transitive scores. 

There are a lot of factors that go into games. Matchups, rivalries, injuries, how the day went at school, travel, etc.
