Anyone have the low down on Jimtown? After losing the first 2 games against significantly bigger schools it looks like they took care of business afterwards. Are they as good as their record indicates or playing against lesser competition? Would the Jimmie faithful like to see them bump up to the big school division?

Northwood will have their hands full with New Prairie if that game happens in the regional

Np 35 Elkhart 7 final Np completely dominated this game from the first whistle. I’m not surprised they won but in how dominant they were.

NP 21 Elkhart 7 half

Couldn’t agree more. I’d be very surprised if the Cougars come out and play their “normal “ style tonight

NP has quite a few weapons on offense, it’s whether or not they choose to utilize them. One of my biggest criticisms of this team is that a lot of times they are fine with just using 1 or 2 guys when they have multiple others that are just as effective if not better in some situations.

What happened to all the banter and good natured jabs on this thread? Big conference game this week and nothing.

The NLC went to a “rotating” conference schedule to where they don’t play the same teams the same week every year. I’d like to see the NIC go this route also. Any thoughts?

They are a young team that I assume will only get better. They have some great athletes, and a sophomore QB that can really sling the ball. I think if they would have more of an intermediate passing game instead of going for the deep ball all the time they could have a lethal offense. They had good size and speed and pretty good numbers.

Without a doubt it’s the game of the week, but definitely understand WHME trying to spread the love for teams that haven’t been featured yet.

Another Ho-hum week of games. Angola over Marian by 13 Bremen wins with relative ease by 20 Calumet over Clay Jimmies big over Washington 28+ Laville with little effort dispatches Glenn by 35 NP over Riley 35+ Penn no problems over StJoe 35+ Elkhart huge over Adams 42+ I foresee a lot of running clocks this week.

New Prairie finally puts together a complete 4 qtrs of football against Adams. Although the offensive line has a few key injuries they seem to be gelling and improving every week. The Cougars are poised to come into their week 8 match up with Penn unblemished and hopefully give them a good fight for the conference lead.

Happened at Ames Field in Michigan City

Those fits have become all to common with that young man. I can’t believe the coaches let it go.

Really no intriguing games this week with Bremen and Glenn being the exception. Bremen at Glenn- toss up game for me but I’ll take the Lions by 6 Elkhart at St Joe- Elkhart rolls to an easy victory. Watched the Indians last week and that’s not a good football team. Elkhart by 35+ Marian at Penn- another ho hum game Penn by 28+ Adams at New Prairie- could be an interesting story line developing for NP regarding a player( won’t say anything until it’s found to be true) but the Cougars cruise by 28+ Clay at Jimtown- nothing really needs to be said here Riley at Washington- Riley seems to be the only SB school putting things together. Riley 28+

Seems every time NP plays St Joe they rack up the penalties.

Anyone have the scoop on St Joe, What they do well offensively or not ? Solid defense? Players to keep an eye on?

Indy Washington vs Riley- don’t know anything about Washington but from what their schedule says I’ll take Riley by 20. Jimtown vs Bremen- I’ll take the Jimmies by 19 Knox vs Glenn- Sounds like Russ is starting to get his players to by in to his style. Knox by 14 Marian vs Adams- The Knights didn’t seem to be that bad of a team when I saw them Friday. Haven’t seen Adams yet by I’ll take the Knights QB to have a big night and lead them to victory. Marian by 14 Penn at Elkhart- I think Penn goes in and takes care of business and has the the upper hand to a conference championship. Penn by 13 St Joe at New Prairie- the Cougars are going to have to start playing 4 qtrs of football or eventually it’s going to come back and bite them. I did like what they did in the second half of the Marian game when they rotated the RBs every few plays. Cougars by 27 Washington at Clay- Washington

Is Tritons run game that unstoppable or is there no confidence Bremen can stop it?

Elkhart roars past Washington 35+ Jimmies get by the falcons by 7 Cougars claw past the Knights 21+ St X over the Kingsmen Indians fight for the win over Adams 14 Wildcats pounce all over clay 35+ Lions can’t be tamed by the Trojans 8

I think Marian will be just fine going forward, they lost a lot of talent from last year and will get back on track soon. Its hard to gauge Penn and Elkhart this early. I believe Penn is improved from the last few seasons but not ready to compete with the big boys yet. Elkhart is a big question mark for me, I haven’t been impressed with them since they combined but doesn’t mean they won’t put it together. New Prairie has the skill players to compete but my question is will they use them and not feature just one. They have a lot tougher sectional than last year and could very well not make it out.
