    We have a similar poll for SW Indiana. It's always difficult comparing successful small schools with large schools. Occasionally, you'll get cases where a 2A/3A team like Mater Dei who plays a closed SIAC schedule against all 4A & 5A teams get beaten in the playoffs by a good Southridge team (floats between 2A/3A). The closed conferences (or lack of diverse non-conference opponents) have compounded ranking teams unfortunately. 

    Does Muncie fall into the category of NE Indiana? If so, why do schools in that area rarely progress in the tournament?

    Depends on how you're breaking the state down if they're NE Indiana or EC Indiana. This is coming from someone who is near the edge of NE/EC Indiana separation area. The IHSAA regionals for football would consider most of them NE but HS basketball (girls especially) have them in the South for tournament (Winchester vs Central Noble).

    North Side lost to Luers after taking a 46-42 lead with 1:30 left.  Luers wins 49-46.  North Side is not good.  And they are getting worse.  
    Hopefully Dwenger wins tomorrow night and I might actually look smart to the board.   That’s going to be a great one to watch.  I predict the Saints win 31-21.  

    Don't fret it. My NE8 picks this week make me look terrible. EN losing to Leo and then Norwell took it to New Haven. Plus CC had to escape DeKalb. Some teams came to play and others didn't. It happens to all of us. Just tells me that NE Indiana shouldn't look for a 4A champion this year at this point. Looks like Mooresville will be the team to beat in that class. Dwenger vs Carroll should be a good one but they're high school kids and the routine has changed so it's a crapshoot.

  3. 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.

    I agree on both points.  If you're thinking P4P then SA is #1... they'll roll through the ACAC and tournament to Semi State (maybe a little bump with Southwood in regional... yes i said Southwood not AC).

    If you're thinking overall then you have to move Eastside and SA out of top 10.  Pioneer will make a deep run at 2A but couldn't hold off New Haven at then end. 

    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.

  5. 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

    Much respect for South Adams, but I'm not sure they could topple a Snider team having  bad year. I would love to see it play out, but I'm not sure a SA win would be realistic. 

    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.

    South Adams, Adams Central, Angola, Norwell, Northrop

     

    Thoughts?

    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).

    Yes... The Cass folks i talked to friday, said SA is pretty close to Pioneer's level this year... So if SA can stay course and the season gets played out. SA should def be a contender. 

    I REALLY liked #2, #3, #7 and #12.  #1 and #15 are men lol. 

    Is #26 ok? 

    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.

    Hope the injury is minor. I think AC is getting far more outta this matchup then SA is.... thou last yr.... vrs the Kings.... wouldve been a much better test for SA.   Advantage AC..... 

    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!

  10. 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. 😔

    I was actually thinking that LCC-AC was semi-state and that would likely put LCC-SA as a semi-state this year if it was different in that AC/SA regional.

    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.

    This was last year's semi-state.  Depending on what happens in Adams County, it could be a repeat if there's a post-season tourney this season.

    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!

    Northrop 25

    Homestead 21

    Final

    North side 47

    Snider 17

    Final 

    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.
