He gone!

I agree with you up to 2018 for sure as Penn was the dominant program in the north no questions.  Bad losses last year to Mishawaka(to a great Mishawaka team) and to Valpo in the playoffs (21-0 at home) revealed the problems that really were worse this year (bad losses to 5a Valpo, a 4a NP, and rival Warsaw in the playoffs.  Heck, they struggled to beat a one win Portage team in the playoffs.  Prob will not be a consistently dominant team in the north going forward, like Penn was in the past.  The past two years it has been Valpo (6a semistate 2018, 5a runnerup 2019)  

The original post by DT does raise a very good point about Elkhart and their future.  My bet is Penn will return to be a very strong team, though maybe not as dominant as they were in the past.  They are just too big with too much tradition to not be good .  In a way, I think the rise of a strong Elkhart program and a resurgent Warsaw under BC is the best thing to happen for Penn.  Maybe the regional competition will make all the teams better

BTF review Penns record the past two years and get back to us on the math 

It would be fun to listen to the Penn fans on this conversation as for some reason DT has annointed Penn the king of football in the north.  Have at that Kingsman nation....

I enjoyed this DT effort......this is sort of vintage DT very creative and took some time to craft this in his retirement, well done message board poster (emeritus)

DT an idiot....hates Valpo and region football except for Russ R and Phil Mason(though both of them got run out of tourney) ..probably the only one in the state that thinks Valpo lost because they were too soft....just so foolish not even worth getting worried about...

Valpo had 3 red zone possessions, and came away with 10 points, not 0 points as you state.  The one time in the red zone they got no points was the result of an interception.  certainly could have score more points with 3 trips and only 10 points

BD was not in the red zone once in the game.

Is Jeffs QB going to be back for the playoffs?  I heard he was injured.

This should be a great game as Mville is very talented and is great for region that they are back.  Congrats for Coach Seiss and whole staff.  The region is better when Mville is great.  The hot mess of Valpo has won 17-18 DAC games over the last 2 1/2 years, and beaten Penn 3 times

DT City has not been better then Valpo the past 4 years...stop saying that City has dominated the DAC ...they have not beat Valpo or won the DAC ...and you know it...I dont get why you keep on spewing a false narrative 

I Read the article on possible damage by homestead, what about Carroll??

What were the student sections doing at Homestead and Carroll?

As someone who spends a lot of time dealing with endzone cameras and hi pods your interest in the issue fascinates me.  Talk to me

It was a very entertaining game with a lot of action.  The Region of NWI should be very proud with their athletes and coaches performing very well.  Andreans Zach Merrill was MVP of game and was easily the most exciting player on the field.  It will be interesting how he does with the Hoosiers next year.  Chestertons VanEekern kicked the game winning field goal.  Laporte's Seibert opened up o holes on the Oline, and I thought that Valparaiso's Tyler Bukur, Lowell's Jansky on the DL, and Whiting's Barbosa all stood out defensively for the north.  Also, River Forest's Joe O Connell and Valparaiso's Sam Bernardi were part of the Norths Coaching staff.  

Cathedral might not be attached to one parish, but they are certainly attached to the Archdiocese of Indy, as seen by this link.  Whether or not that makes them parochial or not I dont know, but they certainly operate by different rules then public schools.

The first step is to deciphering ISHAA classification and sectional assignments week by week

Penn 1-3 after first 4 games this year?

Carmel with over 5000 students versus Valpo  with 2000 in 6a 2018 semi state ...score 14-10....is this really a fair system???? At what point does Indiana have to recognize the obvious about the numbers......i dont understand how this is justified by anyone
