Carmel announced a 4 game series with Penn starting in 2025

WHME reports that Ben Downey is returning as St Joe coach 

WHME reports that John Barron is the new coach at John Glenn

Add St Joe to the open coaching vacancy, per WHME 

NP is losing most of its o-line but are returning 2 good running backs and QB. Defensively only a few losses and returning some studs. I look for them to replicate the success they had this year.

How’s everyone feel about their teams next year? Who are the impact players coming back and who do you feel could be one.

Congrats to Northridge, they played an outstanding game. Good luck

How is the visitors seating situation?  We usually travel pretty well, trying to decide if I should bring lawn chairs along

Visitor seating is limited although in the past they’ve brought in extra seating for big games

So it appears the star running back for NP has not played much over the past couple of weeks.  Nicked up and keeping him fresh for the final stretch run?

I think a lot of that has to do with field conditions and the defense they’re facing. They’ve been running a lot of triple option lately and the kid they have at the back position seems better suited for that offense. Mungia running style more east and west and Sinka is more North and south. They’ve been getting the QB way more involved in the running game which has been very successful. I’m sure the opponent and situation will dictate which back they decide to use.

Thanks for the food recommendations. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s game, and hope the weather doesn’t impact it to much. I believe whoever wins this game will represent the north down at state. Nothing against the 2 other teams but I just feel these two are a little better.  I’ll take the cougars to win 20-14 but wouldn’t be surprised if it went the other way. 

Any Lowell fans on here have any insight on how Lowell has changed since week 3?. Any must stop places to eat nearby?

The early forecast is calling for a rain/ snow mix with a game time temp in the 30’s. 

These 2 met week in week 3 and it was a great game then as it should be Friday. NP has changed up there offense since then and don’t rely on Mungia as much now. I’m sure Lowell has gotten better as the season has progressed and look forward to another slug fest.

NP 35

St Joe 3

Final

Friday, Nov. 5
Chesterton at Penn, 7:30 pm
St. Joseph at New Prairie, 7:30 pm Rematch NP won 35-0 earlier
Jimtown at Marian, 7 pm

At least 2 NIC teams will win sectional championships and move on

Don’t know why but I’ve got a feeling Penn pulls this one out somehow.

I’ll take Marian by a couple TD’s

NP by a few TD’s. I like what the cougars did last week with both running backs. I’m sure they’ll try and take it to air a little this week.

Is Glenn still “quarantined” or are the good to play.

2 games this weekend will be important to the big school side of the conference:  Penn/New Prairie & Elkhart/Marian

 

Washington over Bowman 

Bremen handles Riley 

Elkhart squeaks by Marian 

Adams takes care of Jimtown 

Glenn breezes over Clay

CMA downs St Joe

Penn over NP- I hope I’m wrong on this one. I think Penn’s early season schedule has helped them discover weaknesses and has helped them coast in the NIC so far.

Bowman at Washington - Panthers gotta win this one right?

Bremen at Riley - Gonna go with the lions by 3 TDs.

Elkhart at Marian - Could be an interesting one, but my head says Marian will win.

Penn at New Prairie - Biggest game this week. Penn is trending in the right direction but if NP plays their best game the Cougs will win. Unfortunately, I could see NP not playing to their potential and losing this one. 

Adams at Jimtown - Eagles with a solid victory. 

Clay at Glenn - Glenn big.

St. Joseph at Culver Academy - CMA takes it to the Indians. 

I believe if NP rotates #2 Mungia and #34 Sinka that gives them the best chance. Keeping fresh running backs is key in that offense. Really looking forward to the game and hope it’s the same atmosphere as 2 years ago
