Michiana football reported that Elkhart will be getting 2 high impact transfers from Mishawaka next season.

After watching the Northridge/Northwood game I definitely think New Prairie will be able to do what they do best which is run the ball. The big question is whether NP can stop or slow down the panthers passing game. Looking forward the a very entertaining game. Doesn’t look like the weather will be a factor at all for the game.

Word on the “streets” is a certain picture or pictures have been released of certain players from Northwood doing something that is illegal in the state of Indiana. Hope it’s not true as I don’t want the game to be tainted in any way.

Early forecast does not look good for Friday, could play a role in the outcome of some games

I give all the credit to the Penn D. Talking to him before the game you could see how pale he was, and not up to his normal self. Penn’s D is certainly elite but think the offense could hold them back come tournament time

Hell of a performance by Penn’s D. After talking to a few people and his Parents I don’t think Kmiecik should have been playing tonight. He was very sick all week and in the hospital hooked up to IV’s. Gotta give credit to the young man for playing but you could tell he wasn’t the same.

New Prairie’s field will probably be a mud pit Friday night after all the rain we’re going to get.

Riley over Bremen- wildcats run defense is legit, QB a little inaccurate but good enough to take care of business. St Joe over CMA- don’t know much about CMA but the Indians are a decent football team. Elkhart over Marian- think the lions win this one fairly easy. Jimtown over Adams- the Jimmies JV will probably get plenty of reps in the 2nd half. Penn over NP- the Cougars would have to play flawless to have a chance. Penn D shuts em down in a low scoring game. TV over Glenn- I’ve heard a lot of people high on TV this year and think they’re to much for Glenn to handle.

I think it’s time to break the conference up and everyone find a new home.

Congrats to Clay on their first victory in 34 games.

If the ball goes off a receiving players hands and in the end zone on a kickoff is it still a touchback?

Definitely one of the smallest lines NP has had in a long time. The strength coach does an excellent job at the school not only with the football team but all sports. The line does a great job of pulling, trapping and getting to their assignments. I think the only way Riley has a chance in this game is if they come out and do what St Joe did to the cougars with the short to mid range passes. I’m probably in the minority here but I look for the cougars to win this game fairly comfortably.

Poor Clay. Lost to the Jimmies JV today.

TV over Jimtown- I’ve heard some good things about Valley this year and think they’ll be way to much for the Jimmies. Glenn over Bremen- Barron seems to have this group heading in the right direction. NP over Adams- should be a relatively easy game for the cougars who’ve yet to play their best ball. Penn over Marian- not much to say. Penn By whatever they choose. Elkhart over St Joe- the Indians are much improved over the last few years but I think the Lions squeak this one out. Riley over Washington- I think the best thing the wildcats can do is rest the starters as much as possible to come in next week healthy against NP

Bremen vs Triton- don’t know much about either team but I’ll take the lions by 6 Elkhart vs Massillon Washington- I haven’t been impressed with the lions the past couple of years. Penn vs Morton- the kingsmen bounce back and win by 28+ Glenn vs Jimtown- Jimmies take care of business by 17 Marian vs New Prairie- the Cougars will continue to improve each week and should have no problems in this one. Np by 21 Riley vs Clay- Riley’s JV should get some good field time. 35+ St Joe vs Adams- I haven’t heard much about the Indians yet but they seem to be improving over the last few years. St Joe by 14 Washington vs Calumet- by 35+
