North Knox by 2-3 scores

Disagree

Yes. Winners win & MD did just that at Linton last year. Guessing however, even MD fans would tell you they were fortunate to leave town with a victory. That was a 50/50 game and a couple self inflicted mistakes/missed opportunities by the Miners was the difference. As is nearly every season, until someone beats them MD tops the list of candidates from the south. Linton - lost some really good players. Eslinger (RB/LB) was a stud. Several other holes to fill. But we return some dynamic talent including possibly the best player in 2A south, Hunter Gennicks. Logan Webb is a tall, strong, athletic WR who should be a difference maker. Multiple all-state type players on the lines. By seasons end, the Miners will be a major threat in 2A. Just hope our anemic schedule this season doesn't come back to bite us. Can't give you as much detail on Sullivan, but from everything I've heard they'll be one of the better southern 2A teams. This summer I ran into Sullivan's HC from the past several seasons (now HC for St Mary of the Wood's new program). He told me the Arrows are loaded this season.

You have to layoff the sauce. Have you seen our schedule? What's great about it? We're traveling all over Southern Indiana to play the weakest schedule we've had in years. Five 1A teams, two 2A, one 3A, and one 4A. Oh, and our five road games average 125 miles round trip. No clue why we're traveling 430 miles to play four 1A teams on the road (other road game is at Boonville).

Others can give you more insight than I, but the one thing that stands out to me is fast, fast, fast. Not a big team, but very lean. Great conditioning. Above average speed everwhere, fly to the ball, light but quick up front on both sides. For a small, rural school (being politically correct here) they're pretty unique in the speed/quickness department.

This one has me interested. Should be an absolute dandy! #4 vs #7 squaring off at an iconic venue to decide who is 2020's best 3A team south of Indy. Two tradition rich programs, with nearly identical records and sagarin numbers across the board. I have a soft spot for SR, so I'll take them by 7 but feel this is a true toss-up game! Hope it's live streamed?!!?

False. I said Miners by 10. After further analysis, I'm leaning Miners by 13.

I'll take the Miners by 10.

Here are my homer picks. Linton-Stockton 34 North Posey 7 North Knox 24 Mater Dei 20

I'll take Linton by 4-5 scores

NK was superb last night. Like other's have said, they were clearly the better team. Congratulations! Not Linton's best night. Certainly weren't as sharp as the Warriors. Even had we been as tuned as NK, I'm convinced it wouldn't have made a difference. Likewise, should these two meet in a few weeks, expect a better game from the Miners. P.S. Any Linton football fan "embarrassed" by the performance of the 15-18 year olds they proclaim to support are the ones who should be embarrassed. Miner fans have been spoiled with an abundance of riches over the last several years. Surely, as adults you can handle a questionable performance or two by these young men without being embarrassed???

Talk of any team OP didn't mentioned in the week 5 SOS will put his/her panties in a wad.

I read your post. Now go back and read mine. Nothing I said was negative about your post, nor sagarin. In fact I didn't even mention your post. I also didn't say their current SOS was wrong. Honestly, I have no clue wtf you're so butt hurt about...you're a little sensitive for me hoss.

Andrean is #171. They've played 2 6A's (including sagarin #8 Merrillville) and 3 4A's so far. In the final 4 weeks they have three more 4A schools (Sagarin #21, 63, 71) and 5A school. They easily have a top 5, if not higher, 2A schedule. 6A (2) 5A (1) 4A (5)

This didn't age well. At all. Stay Classy....

Your predictions have been pretty bad this post season. Consider this a good sign for NP.

Notice the 😉 ?

This will be a much, much closer game than most expect. Mater Dei is going to have their hands full. Just my uneducated & uninformed opinion of course 😉

We aren't playing those bums until they upgrade their endzone cameras.

Cass has some biggins up front. Their backs are athletic & extremely physical. They refused to be tackled vs Pioneer. Pneumatic sledgehammers

That's ballsy. I see no reason why WeBo isn't the south favorite. Defending champs. I haven't checked Calpreps, Sagarin has them #1 in the south...on a neutral field they would be favored by 2 points over L-S & 4 over MD. Personally, I believe Triton Central will be a tough out as well

Really? If we beat MD by multiple scores I would be estatic and leave the Bowl with a huge smile on my face. Not my expectation however.

Donoven McKinney (Sullivan #8) and his family need everyone's prayers. Donoven suffered a movement/spinal cord injury during last night's game. Lot's of concern locally for this kid. The more prayers, the better.

Linton 35 Providence 0 Late 2Q

Yes. It's not even close. They've held everyone below their average, held many to their season low, and allowed >14 only once. Mater Dei is 2nd in the SIAC conference in points allowed and 1st in points scored. That includes games against 4A's #6 & #7 teams. Per Sagarin, MD's played 5 teams ranked 125 or better; 3 of those in the top 80. They finish the regular season vs Reitz (#129).
