Bellmont at Huntington North-Huntington North ends up by 21+; Braves will stay close for a quarter maybe 2 and then the 2nd half slips away from them like last week. Columbia City at Dekalb- Columbia City pulls away as DeKalb just hasn't played as much East Noble at Leo- Taking East Noble in a close one if healthy enough. Think they'll be a little more battle tested if it is tight. New Haven at Norwell- I'm taking New Haven by 7 to 10. I've watched Norwell the past two weeks against inferior opponents and there are some weak areas on the defense. The offense just isn't consistent enough yet either. That Pioneer win going back and forth gives me more faith in the Bulldogs. In 2 weeks though I could see this going the other way.

Might be a little hard if AC runs the play clock down on each snap and runs the ball non stop.

Right now that is fair, but I think that is whom AC needs to strive to beat. I don't see a repeat of last years Regional outcome, but would like to see it be a rematch at least. Curious if Southwood is the same as 2017 or if they were like the last couple of years.

1. Carroll 2. Dwenger T3. Homestead T3. East Noble T5. North Side T5. Leo 7. New Haven (Pioneer win puts them ahead of SA & Eastside for now) 8. South Adams 9. Eastside (Week 6 SA vs AC could vault Blazers up, but think SA will have better victory over common opponent) 10. Coumbia City (Would have been nice to compare Bellmont result against SA & AC's cancelled games vs Bellmont) In the mix.. Northrop, Concordia, Snider, Norwell, Adams Central, Southwood, & Angola

I guess I'm basing my top 10 different then the rest of you. I wasn't factoring head to head comparisons, but who will have the better season in their respective schedule. I'm only positioning based off class and schedule, giving the respect for the bigger classes as a tie-breaker so to speak.

I'm not sure I'd have Snider (odd to say that) in the top 10 currently. I'd move South Adams up to 8 and put Snider in at 11 (in the mix).

Looking forward to seeing the Norwell @ Bellmont game on the witness. I will have to add it to my Friday night lineup on the laptop.

Keep it! The more exposure the better imo. Could you link the TGD twitter to auto share with IST? I see most of the local media referencing IST more than TGD.

I'm not sure. I was half paying attention to the SA game as I had 5 games on at once (4 in Indiana & 1 in Ohio). I thought the webcast said a minor ankle problem that they thought was just precautionary in a game that had been decided. #15 & #26 are men for sure and I'm wondering what ways they're going to start putting them together to balance out the offense a little more that they haven't shown yet. At this point they will put a whipping on AC as the Flying Jets are just young at a couple of key positions this year. I'm not sure SA will have any test this year unless AC progresses like they did last year.

They're on a mission this year. For South Adams it's state title or bust if the season is able to play out. They have the talent to do it as long as they stay disciplined.

Finals Eastside 28 Adams Central 14 South Adams 55 Cass 7 Norwell 35 Heritage 7 Bluffton 22 Manchester 0

Hope so as well but that was a very long delay and that's not a good sign from experience. Prayers to him that it is minor and a quick recovery!

Well it would be SA at this point to contend in our area. AC is not looking good at all and getting handled by 14 to Eastside. The 2 key losses from graduation are the glaring holes so far. SA is just steamrolling Cass at this point. Hoping the AC injured player is going to be ok. He's been down for quite a while which is scary. Thought he was holding his helmet when he was first down. 😔

Yeah I knew what you meant. Hoping the result is different either way if it is SA or AC. Would be good for our area to try and strengthen back up to the 90's & 00's for the conference.

It was the Regional game. They used to be sectional opponents until the realignment. Hoping it is an exact repeat of last season but a different semi state outcome!

This will be a good week to see how much has changed from the 1st week of the season. See if the AC defense does a better job of wrapping up and if the offense can continue to look good. They'll have a major test in Eastside and quite frankly were lucky to beat them last year. This will be a good barometer of what to expect come week 6 or so.

This is probably more beneficial for them to be honest. I'm sure it allows Coach Hall to catch up on things he wasn't able to since he got it at the last minute.

Snider was somewhat expected with the talent North has, but didn't think Northrop was going to pull it off. Thought they'd hang tough but be just a bit short. I was wrong. Congrats to both.

Final SA 41 Winchester 8

Final AC 43 Fremont 12 Start of 4th SA 41 Winchester 8

South Adams leads Winchester 21 to 8

59 yd TD pass from Black to Neuenschwander and AC leads Fremont 22 to 6.

1st play of the 2nd quarter AC with a 13 yard run by Heyerly. He also adds the 2pt conversion 15 to 6.

AC 7 Fremont 6 at the end of 1. Fremont struck first after AC had been sloppy on defense and allowed 4th down conversions. AC scored on their 1st offense play on a long run by Currie. Jets are driving towards the goal line with 3rd & 3 to start quarter 2.

Sad to see it happening. I really hope they can get some larger classes to start coming up. I was hoping some of the Pennville area kids were going to head north after their dispute about the elementary school. Jay County is pretty large, so it wouldn't hurt them to lose some of those kids (maybe drop them down a class to help compete in more sports). I'm wondering if a similar announcement is going to happen at Blackford since that is the reason South Adams had to change it to Eastbrook. Maybe some Muncie/Anderson folks can move to the NW and help these schools out a bit? Southern Wells should probably be a 2x back to back state champion instead of just a 2001 State Champ. Now they're playing JV only 19 years later.
