Adams Central @ LCC Hobart @ East Noble

6A: None 5A: FW Bishop Dwenger Saints 4A: East Noble Knights 3A: None 2A: Eastbrook Panthers 1A: Adams Central Flying Jets

I'd kick out Maryland and Rutgers to add Notre Dame and Iowa State. I would then add Pitt and WVU to expand to 16. Bring rivalries back to the sport as that is why it grew in the first place!

AC is also in a "rebuilding" year this year. Believe 26 seniors were lost from last years' semi state team. South Adams was the team that was going to state this year and I'm still in disbelief that our Jets beat them. South Adams will be back next year though so watch out again. However, AC will have some good glasses to come in the future. The Jets have a good 6th grade class, some good 7th grade athletes who fight like this team does, and a very talented 8th grade team. The Freshmen have shown some talent and Cook is a speedster. The sophomore class is a big key to this years team (Heyerly & Currie) as are a few Juniors like Collier. Kudos to this senior class from learning from their predecessors and carrying on the AC football tradition. I'd think LCC would be the favorite at home and based on the historical matchups. Much like Pioneer, this is another team we have to get the monkey of our back. In fact we have to get the semi state curse off our back. We had only broke it once in the 2000 state championship season against North White. Like I said in another thread, everyone is ecstatic we get to play another week of football for a shot to go to LOS. Especially in a rebuilding year. GO JETS!!!!

Well you could stop by and see the Jets battle LCC since you're heading up to the region from Bloomington. LCC has to be favored, but us Jet fans are just ecstatic to be playing this week!

Adams Central upsets county rivals South Adams 19 to 7 to avenge their only loss and to give South Adams their only loss.

Boy, the coaches must have said what I've posted on here as I wasn't expecting that upset. Completely different ball game this time around. Though I believe Stutzman was out for SA which was key. Great season to the Starfires, and way to go Jets!!!!!

Yep exactly. Like the '16 Pioneer @ AC Semi State game. Definitely prefer an AC win but I have a hard time seeing it. Going to be weird when I have family playing for South Adams in some years and have to root for them.

Need to have the weather conditions South Adams faced against Woodlan. That was their lowest output of the year and probably the best shot AC would have.

NCAA should have mandated the two games he'd have to sit out. Penn State and Michigan (not that we will win against the evil anyway). Make the one volunteered game not count so it would have been a 3 game suspension.

Time to do the rain dance in Central Adams County!

Never been to LOS on Thanksgiving weekend. Would have been cool to watch my youth league teammates win the title for Bellmont, but had family gatherings. Plus I don't want to go unless one of the few local teams make it (may not if South Adams makes it this year but would like to see it). Definitely will go if the alma mater (Adams Central) makes it. I guess in short I only go if one of the few teams earns a spot.

This year they are. Normally the Central part takes care of business, but the junior and senior classes are loaded for the Starfires. I wish I could say my beloved Jets would have a better shot, but it seems they've played worse defensively as the tournament has gone on. Maybe it's kids playing hurt, but it hasn't been pretty. The first match up the Jets gave way too much cushion and South Adams methodically ripped them apart throwing 10 yd outs to #15 Miller. The big blow was when the Starfires connected on the deep shot and AC was playing deep. AC is going to have to find creative ways to move the ball on offense as well. It seems other teams have found a good game plan in slowing down the running game. Northfield did a fantastic job of that. Luckily the passing game was good enough even with a couple of turnovers to pull the Jets through last week.

I stay home and watch The Berne Witness nowadays. I do miss going to games for the atmosphere of a close game. My feeling is waiting a few years until either one of my much younger cousins or my closer in age cousins' kids and my step kids and kids are involved. Sometimes my parents come over and watch with us or vice versa. Like mentioned, not going out in the adverse weather, no waiting in line for concessions, and using your own facilities is much nicer.

Let's make it popular to use the numbers!

We have 48 Sectionals, thus we have 24 total regionals. Why not number these as well? I get not needing numbering after regionals. Just would make it easier to track from a fan's standpoint.

What is the method or reasoning of when presale tickets are made available or are not made available? Just curious if there was anything concrete by the IHSAA or is it up to each school? I know the OHSAA has angered some fans by only allowing presale purchases in person for the first round and championship games. The other rounds have be bought online now it seems. I know I've bought presale tickets as a kid for family and friends, but see that there are no presale tickets available for the sectional final game for my alma mater.

Adams Central vs Northfield in sectional 44. This was supposed to be #3 vs #4 but Northfield upset #3 Southwood. They've won 7 or 8 straight now it seems. They gave the Jets a good game last year in the opening round. That Jets team was better than this years team.

Only know most of NE Indiana this year and that knowledge hasn't really worked. I'm pretty clueless on SW Indiana & parts of SE Indiana. I'm going to keep dropping thanks to a couple of schools I won't name.

Yes working is the reason I am considering the WGU route. My fear is that WGU's program would not be looked at in the same regards as others. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet due to this reason. I love working with children as I coach different youth sports in mostly the elementary to middle school ages currently. It may sound odd, but I loved going to school as a child. I love helping my step children with their school work as well. I hear the complaints from some teaching parents about state testing and such and acknowledge that frustration. I don't want to be naïve and think that teaching and schools are like they were when I graduated 10 going on 11 years ago.

They have me concerned for this Friday. I just hope it's not a 2015 regional game deja vu. The Jets didn't look as sharp as I personally had hoped Friday against North Miami. They will have to play much better to win this Friday. Last years Norse team gave a talented Jet team all they could handle in round one. If that happens again, the Norse may come away with the upset.
