Tipton 1st score marched it right down the field

If anyone is coming I will be down on the Tipton fence line by the bleachers.

Not saying you’re wrong, we will find out tonight but what is your reasoning behind Eastbrook making a 38 point turn around from last year?

I know I just feel per what Tipton lost from last year and just believe Eastbrook will not make the same mistakes as last year. I just feel Eastbrook is bigger and stronger than this years Tipton  team. Again I could be wrong just going off what I have seen and what I have coached against in my past. I hope it is a great game! Good luck to both teams!

I still feel that depending on mistakes or lack there of Eastbrook is the better team. I am going to change my score to 35-14.

This game has the potential to be a high scoring affair. This could end up being a 52-49 final score with the final play being a tipped ball for an interception in the end zone.

Man I just don't see Tipton putting up that many points against Eastbrook.  Maybe I am wrong but with each teams best playing 4 quarters I believe Eastbrook is better across the board. Maybe I am wrong but we will see.

It is funny/comical how people get on here and blame refs for a loss! I am not saying a call can influence that part of the game but when there are typically 80-100 plays it doesn't change the game especially when you have 2 well coached teams that believe in their coaches. There is a reason these teams are making deep runs year in and year out!

Can we get this topic back where it belongs lol.. to many keyboard hero's lol

Hopefully for the one's who show up we can all meet in person!

Didn’t know AC was at Bluffton.  Heritage wouldn’t been the closest.

To bad they could not of used somewhere like Eastbrook while they where on the road. Give home team 75% and give 25% to Eastbrook for hosting and cleanup!

35-0 after 1. Definitely could have been really ugly. Freshman played whole second half so got the starters well rested. As far as if Tipton is as good as last year, I am not sure. I do think the defense is better this year. Eastbrook was probably the best team Tipton played last year too up to that point. I’m expecting another great game. Hoping it stays dry!

Absolutely definitely will be coming over to see it and anything can happen! Good luck to you guys the rest of the way!

From what it sounded like both games had the same outcome very early on! Tipton looked real good but not as good as last years team! Problem is when you play someone like Alexandria going into a game like Eastbrook I do not think it helps you. By the way Tipton could have won by 65+

Eastbrook is on a level that I believe this Tipton team has not seen. I know they lost to western. I do believe Eastbrook is that much better than western. Time will tell and we will see.

Eastbrook over Lapel by 35 if rb1 plays. If not this game could get ugly quick. Remember both of Lapels loses where not even close. This is a big step up in talent for Lapel!

Tipton over Alexandria by running clock in 2nd half! Alex's defense still cannot tackle. Alex's offense better put up 40+ to be competitive in this game. Tipton speed will be overwhelming and the strength of their kids will also show as the game goes on. If you do not live in the weight room in off-season it will show!

Good luck to all the teams and stay healthy!

Will be interesting to see how banged up Lapel rb is. He is a majority of their offense. I know they struggled early with frankton. Could get ugly quick with Eastbrook.  I hope not but Eastbrook is a machine! 

Heard Lapel rb may have got dinged up? If so Eastbrook will tear into them. Lapel relies on him for a majority of their offense. 

I understand where you may think I am out to lunch on the Eastbrook vs Tipton game being 31. I just believe it may be a trap game where Tipton plays 2 of the weekest cic teams to be in the final. Eastbrook plays 2 solid non conference teams to get in the post season mode! We will see and maybe I am wrong on total win spread but who knows good luck to all!  😉

Damn outside of Oak Hill letting Belmont put up 42 most of us where spot on on the rest of the scores wow!

It will be Eastbrook vs Tipton unless some how Lapel can cause some Tipton Mistakes!

Eastbrook wins over Tipton by 31.

Mississinewa by 35. Jayco is improvingbut need to give zugunda time.. Ole Miss is coming into their own again but can be scored upon with a good game plan.

Alexandria by a td! Alexandria has to find the face of their school! Who can lead them on the field! Numbers are down and need addressed! Need best 11 on the field! Elwood is playing hard just not much talent! Will put a scare into Alexandria. 

South Adam's by 14. Madison-Grant is improving but tough task here. South adams is down a little bit but still to much talent! I believe this will come down to turnovers!

Lapel wins by 42! Frankton won the rivalry last week easily but will have let down this week. Lapel will rest players by the late 3rd early 4th. Frankto headed in right direction! 

Eastbrook by 42! Eastern is a little weaker than last couple years. Eastbrook to prove they are not the typical 1 dimensional team. Going to make a statement! 

Oak Hill wins this by 49. Belmont is down and have not been competitive in 1 of their losses. Oak hill will be prepared and ready to strike.

Good luck to all the CIC teams! Stay healthy! 

You are right and I switched my info. At one time I was a coach. Now just a fan. Alexandria is not the only one that gets my positive/ negative comments. Go back and look. I attend different games within the CIC. 

There are teams that succeed or fail because of their plan. I wish more CIC teams had better plans so they can be successful! 

Here are some ideas that successful teams uses:

1.Weight condition program: Not just during school but before and after.

2. Player retention: What are you doing to keep players? Are you checking grades or following up with kids atleast once a week to see what is going on in their life.

3. Daily practices: Are you just going through the motions or are you working on deficiency to strengthen your team.

4. Accountability: As a whole what are you doing. Is everybody giving 100%. Does everyone buy in. What are you doing to fix it?

5. How is your youth program ran. As a community does your youth teams stay with your philosophies or do they do their own things. All high school programs that excel at the youth level will excel at the high school level if they buy in.

I am a passionate former coach who is just a fan now. I would love the opportunity to put my philosophies to work. Problem is when your are a lay coach it is almost impossible to get those opportunities in the CIC. 

In ending I will say one last thing. It is so frustrating to watch talent wasted or not reach its potential at schools because as a whole that school does not go above and beyond to get everything out of all their kids.

This isn't just a Alexandria thing. It happens at alot of other schools everywhere!

The only time this game will be close is before Eastbrook gets the ball. 0-0 is as close as MG will get.

I agree I just meant early 1st quarter if mg gets ball 1st and can get a score. Outside of that you are right.

Frankton vs Alexandria- Frankton will pull out the win! Teams are young but Alexandria is sliding down and Frankton is trending up! Frankton by 14.

Elwood vs Mississinewa- Ole Miss is just to much for Elwood. This game will end up ugly. I see Ole Miss winning by 42.

Blackford vs Oak Hill- Oak Hill is a mediocre team with great coaches. I  believe this game will be a 26-28 point game.

Madison grant vs eastbrook- Game will be close early due to Eastbrook nursing players.. but Eastbrook will tear up a much improved MG squad! Eastbrook by 54.

Going into sectionals

1. Eastbrook 

2. Ole Miss

3. Oak hill

4. Madison Grant

5. Frankton

6. Blackford

7. Alexandria 

8. Elwood

Wow what a night!

MG vs Frankton was one hell of a game! Both these teams are on the up and up. Young and motivated! Frankton is putting up a fight for this 2nd half of the year!

Oak Hill provides an ass whipping to Alexandria tonight. Oak hill again scored at will against maybe the worst defense in the cic! Alex and Elwood! Oak Hill is an average team but will depend on sectional draw on how far they go. Alex has an all state wrestler that could help their defense but he doesn't see the field.

Eastbrook obviously did what they where meant to do! Nothing against Elwood but pretty tough task to stop that machine! Eastbrook has a chance to make a dent in 2a If they stay healthy and on track.

Ole Miss continuing there 2nd half dominance! Although Blackford had enough and mostly played iron man! I think Ole Miss is a different team than they where at the beginning of the year!

1. Eastbrook 

2. Ole Miss 

3. Oak Hill 

4. Madison-Grant 

5. Frankton

6. Blackford 

7. Alexandria 

8. Elwood

MG over Frankton 28-25 

Great win for MG! 

Oak Hill vs Alexandria- Oak Hill by 21. Alexandria cannot stop the run and Oak Hill will expose that.

Eastbrook vs Elwood- Eastbrook by 56. Elwood is improving but Eastbrook is a machine. Will have the 56 by half.

Ole Miss vs Blackford- Ole Miss by 50. If Blackford can field a team they are very short handed. Ole Miss to much fire power.

Frankton vs MG- Frankton by 7. I believe these 2 teams are pretty equal. Will depend on who makes the least amount of mistakes.

Eastbrook, 2nd string playing in the 2nd Quarter.  Running clock streak continues.

Elwood at Madison-Grant ©, 7 pm

M-G big. Hopefully a barn burner like last season, but don't see that happening.

Mississinewa at Alexandria ©, 7 pm

Ole Miss backfield may break records this game.

Oak Hill at Frankton ©, 7 pm

Oak Hill by a lot.  OH fans, wear hats and sunglasses, if the suns out you can't see the field until halftime.

 

Looks like everything is pretty much coming to fruition as to what was being forecasted in the preseason.  Hope all teams are healthy and injury free this week!

Pretty damn close!

First half wasn't much to write home about either.  Will be interesting to see if it costs them in the playoffs.  Some years it hasn't hurt them but I'd argue no way they make it to state in 2019 had they not learned some early lessons against Marion and Delta.  But in years prior they ended up in the state finals anyway with a lackluster regular season schedule.

Yes I agree with you!
