No offense, but I watched Winamac play and I don't think they would have done any better against our Jets.

Turkey weekend in Indy! Go Jets Go!

This is what has me on edge as a Jets fan as well as the bus trip. We have a 1-12 semi state record. This may be the 3rd time (since I've been alive) we weren't the underdog at semi state. We are 1-1 in those other 2 games and the last one we lost in 03 still haunts me. Up 21-0 at half losing 22-21 while missing a game winning FG attempt. As I said before, Allen is an awesome football player. #11 is decent as well. The Judson defense did well setting the edges and stringing plays out sideline to sideline. The only game they struggled with that was Tippy Valley. #75 The Bear has made some big stops in the middle of the defense as well.

Coaches are equipped to coach against it, but the few teams that ran it were so poor on the offensive line they didn't get to see it in action as well as NJ. Southern Wells when they were good, ran it all the time and those were fun practices.

How about the 12 Semi States this week? For the game I'm personally invested in, AC vs NJ, I'd say Logansport would have been a good neutral site.

84/86 was before I was born. My dad graduated in 82 so played on the first sectional championship team in fall of 81 and lost to Woodlan 7-6 due to a bad snap. Woodlan was runner up that year. I remember 97-99 as a heartbroken young boy. 03 I was a 7th grader. I think most thought we were getting another state title that year. Up 21-0 @ half and lost 22-21 after missing the go ahead FG at the end. I was a freshman on our 05 team that Sheridan throttled. Beating West Central that year was an accomplishment in regional.

#40 Allen for North Judson is a stud. He's impressive the more games I watch of North Judson.

It would have been a running clock after the first half on a good playing surface. My next weekly worry is our semi state record of 1-12. I think we should win, but bus lag to NJ is concerning. Also the memories of 03 always haunt me.

Blitz isn't invited anymore if we beat SA tonight.

Yes on seeding, but just the sectionals. Maybe I could be convinced on regionals, but rather see the regionals rotate which sectional winners play each other every year. Semi states as well. This is why I'd like to see neutral site regionals and semi state venues.

Having fun watching everyone guessing the neutral sites for the OHSAA playoffs this upcoming weekend. I believe the first 2 playoff games had been hosted by higher seeds until this point if possible. That has been a change as all or all but the first round were neutral sites until they expanded to 16 teams in the 4 regions for all 7 divisions (what we call classes). How would it look for the regionals in Indiana this year? Looking to expand this to semi states after this weekend.

They like to run RB/FB Dax Holman (sp) & QB Laban Davis out of spread or tight. Also can throw it a bit when needed. In the old days it was Eastside spread to then set up the run. Now it feels like the opposite. Their defense is strong as the Luers game showed.

I believe the SA/AC winner will beat either NJ or Carroll from watching both their sectional final games. SA offense would give both fits. It would come down to their defense. Both would really struggle with AC's run game. #9 for Carroll is very quick though so he could make a few plays against both. NJ throwing the ball could make a game against SA a shoot out possibly. NJ line would have to stop AC's D-Line to get their passing game going.

Know South Adams won't do it, but the game would be better off at Bluffton. Regional and Semi State should be neutral sites anyway.

Why I said probation at minimum. If your team is even accused by 2 consecutive opponents of using racial slurs, that's enough. If proven true, then even more. One accusation would not warrant anything but an investigation. Hard to believe there isn't anything after 2 consecutive weeks though.

This is interesting. I've heard Wayne has had issues with fighting at events. I've heard Ole Miss has been using racial slurs the last 2 weeks. See in the thread from a reliable source that Ole Miss #62 has had issues since summer. Hopefully #62 gets some help for issues he's having. He doesn't need to finish the season though. Both teams and programs should be on probation at minimum. Wayne having another incident and Ole Miss again acused of racial slurs. Hopefully Northridge takes care of business.

Watching both games last night/this morning, I think Carroll could run the ball on NJ. Culver was running quite well on them, but their defense couldn't stop NJ and NJ won the special teams. Clinton Prairie was having success running on Carroll and stopped. They were trying with no success to get their passing game going. Carroll secondary looked good against CP. Carroll definitely has offensive tendencies that are easy to spot. Keep #9 from getting past the edge and the QB rolls out right 95% of the time.

They did struggle with the big FB, but yes they tackled much better. Once again, fall break needs to be a week or two sooner. Believe that took place of the Busco game. This week you can't help think about the 2019 AC vs SA regional game. No way that field is going to be in good condition. It wasn't yesterday in Berne. AC should win, but after AC upset a heavy favorite SA 2019 you need to be cognizant.

Weird that the NW regional isn't LCC vs Pioneer but North Judson vs Carroll (Flora). NJ favored I assume? Watching both, Carroll's run game could give NJ some problems.

They are playing well no doubt tonight. Negative a bit but more cautious. I want them to get to Indy like everyone else. Already thinking how they need to keep Wanner off balance and watch for the screens. Not thrilled about playing on the crap field in Berne.

Another good 2A North game in the NE/ EC region of the state. Winner of this gets the Eastside/Luers winner?

Hope so! Love the avatar! Go 49ers!

They better tackle Triton's QB & RB better than what they did against Busco. Those 2 are physical runners watching highlights. Hoping the AC lines are better than Triton's or it could be interesting.

Yeah probably right on 17, but going in with Schultz & Macklin I thought the outcome would be different. Should have also said 2019 greatly over achieved by upsetting SA at regional too.

2015 I saw an AC team lose a week before they should. 2016 almost lost 2 weeks before they should have (luckily they got to SS). 2017 saw Southwood not just upset but dominate them. 2018 & 2019 did what they were supposed. 2020 they lost a week before they should as well. I want this team to get to LOS, but I just listed why I want to take it one week at a time.
