MD moving the ball again.

4&9 for MD. Fiver against MD. 4&14 from 20. Int by Vera in EZ. Reitz ball at 20

14-10 Reitz after 3. MD in Reitz territory at the 36 to start MD first and 10 at Reitz 30

MD punt into the EZ in front of a defender trying to stop it. At the 20 for Reitz

Reitz scores on a 19 yard pass Davies to Summers. 14-10 Reitz. MD player jawing after a tackle. It was a big one as it moved the ball to almost midfield.

Reitz moving it quick now. Unsportsmanlike really helps with that.

Reitz receives to start the half Reitz starts at own 20. Here we go.

MD has moved the ball effectively on the ground. Eaten the clock this first half. Adjustments will be coming, most likely on the offensive side for Reitz.

Not expecting a friendly locker room on the home side. 10-7 MD at half.

MD scores a TD with 34 ticks in the half. Reitz ball first and 10 at own 20. MD 10-7

7 yd pass Vera to Summers for the TD. 7-0 Reitz. I won’t lie. I think the ref missed it. Looked from my vantage point in the concrete as the ball bounced.

Glenn with a 35 yard reception over two defenders as time expires in the first quarter. 0-0 Reitz ball at the MD 14 first and 10. MD held the ball for almost 10 minutes in the quarter. Game plan for MD must be milk the clock. Reitz did start their seniors on defense and left them in for several plays

TOD by MD. Reitz at own 21

Fourth and goal from the 21 for MD as a TD was wiped out by their second holding penalty, and a third dow sack. TO Cats

Reitz kicks to MD to open the game. Hopefully the rain is cleared out for good now.

Welcome to the rainiest day of the year. Rivalry Friday. A light rain is starting to fall at the bowl. Hopefully it blows over for the rest of the night since it is actually a nice evening otherwise.

If that’s God’s will…..

1. Carmel @ Lawrence Central- LC 2. Hamilton Southeastern @ Brownsburg-Bburg 3. Portage @ LaPorte- LaPorte 4. Terre Haute South @ Columbus North- CN 5. Northridge @ Warsaw- Northridge 6. Northview @ Indian Creek- Northview 7. Yorktown @ Mount Vernon (Fortville)- MV 8. Hamilton Heights @ West Lafayette- Hamilton Heights 9. Bluffton @ Lakeland- Bluffton 10. Madison-Grant @ Alexandria- MG 11. Seeger @ North Vermillion- NV 12. North White @ West Central - North White

Rivalry week. And then there weee no more weeks of the regular season. Bosse over Harrison North rolls Central Reitz beats MD comfortably Castle beats Memorial as struggles continue Jasper holds on to beat Lincoln This really does a doozy to the standings. Reitz goes 9-0 and wins conference by three games, while five teams (Lincoln, Jasper, Castle, Memorial, North) all tie for second with three losses.

Quite the balanced bracket. A couple of early season rematches, and Reitz may not see a conference opponent until the sectional finals, if they make it there.

Welcome to sectional draw day. I say it will work like this: Reitz, Jasper, BNL (top 3 in Sagarin) plus Boonville will wind up in one half of the bracket. Memorial, Bosse, Harrison, and Central wind up in the other half of the bracket. Bracket prediction: Reitz @ BNL Jasper @ Boonville Bosse @ Harrison Memorial @ Central If bracketed according to Sagarin: Central @ Reitz Boonville @ Memorial Bosse @ BNL Harrison @ Jasper Good luck everyone

This is true, but they already have three losses. And that would be extremely crazy to have five teams at 6-3 in conference, and no one plays a game outside of conference.

Something to think about here. If Reitz, Castle, and Jasper all win Friday, Reitz wins the conference by three games again this season. That is really amazing, and shows the absolute parity of the league.

It sure feels like it. But in the blink of an eye, the regular season is over, and then teams start turning in equipment the following week.

TOD Bosse Reitz ball at Bosse 31. Congrats to B2B SIAC champs. Victory formation. Final score, 52-20 Reitz
