    Can anyone give me a breakdown of what they teams run? Spread? wing-t? Ect. 

     

    Will they play in the sectional?

    Who are the studs on both teams? 

    What makes both teams so tough?

     

     

     

    MAYBE I SHOULDNT HAVE SKIPPED OVER THE FIRST POST, it answers 90% of my questions. Lol 

    Would play in the regional, but had been sectional opponents for the last few years since SA dropped down to 1A. South Adams will have to get by Monroe Central again, while the Jets would have to get by Busco and Southwood. Both Busco and Southwood are tough matchups for the Jets.

    I always though the mascot name "Flying Jets" a bit strange.  Don't Jets already fly because, well, that is what they are built to do?

    And what the heck is a "Starfire"?  Sounds like a superhero name to me.

      

    Yes the Flying part of Flying Jets seemed a bit redundant. I'd have personally went with Fighting or Fighter Jets. The Starfire is a car from Oldsmobile, though I'm not sure that was the intended naming.

    This one is going to be a dandy.  

    I'm hoping it will be closer than what I expect it will be. If South Adams gets any chance to put big numbers on the board, they will do so after the last 3 years or so.

    1A Game of the Week: South Adams @ Adams Central

    Alright, let's get some chatter about this one started. There's a whole lot to this one as it is a rivalry with bragging rights. Bragging right #1: winner is the county champion of the regular season as both squads handled Bellmont. Bragging right #2: winner is in the driver's seat for the ACAC crown. Adams Central is the 2x defending conference champion currently. 

    Disclaimer: I'm a Flying Jet graduate and former player (not a good one 😂). Looking to this matchup from the beginning of the season, I believed South Adams would be the favorite and most likely winner. After watching the first 5 weeks, nothing has changed in that regard. However, the Flying Jets are a lot better than I expected them to be this year. Looking at SA, the offense runs through the QB Arnold. This team is a high flying offense as he throws it all over the field to numerous weapons. WR Stutzman is a favorite target, as is Wanner and Bixler. Do not forget about the H-Back Miller either. South Adams also has two physical RBs in Stuber and Summersett behind a big physical OL. The Flying Jets defense is going to have their hands full to say the least. I'd look for Arnold to take advantage of some size differential between his receivers and the AC defensive backs. As for the Flying Jets offense, not much has changed other than the names. Still a ground and pound Double Wing T offense (splits instead of tight ends though). However, they have thrown in more play action passing that has been very effective this season. Blake Heyerly has been the workhorse on the ground, while Schwaller has hit Neuenschwander, Mosser, and Green to name a few receivers.

    All of the news crews will be their for this ACAC showdown. It is the Highlight Zone game of the week. (Could be The Score's as well). I'm sure WZBD has it covered for the local radio, and ESPN 1380 is covering it as well. Thinking I may watch the webcast from The Berne Witness as I may not be able to get to the stadium in time for a good seat. The Airstrip in Monroe will be packed as the Starfires & Flying Jets will battle on the Landing Strip at Rich Minnich Field. For a few hours families will be rooting against one another and showing their school colors of either black and yellow or red, white,  & gray. My family will be no different as I have a mixture of Flying Jets and Starfires making up the majority of my family.

    Here's to a great game on Friday and may the best team win!

    Big Games 1A/2A Week 5

    Monroe Central is a solid team that lost to Adams Central a couple of week ago. South Adams however has been on another level. I look for the Starfires to take that one and set up the big showdown next week against Adams Central (which I favor the Starfires due to the SR&JR class success in the past against the Jets). It'd be nice if the Starfires and Bears met in the sectional finals again. Also be nice if either AC, 'Busco, or Southwood meet in their section finals. The regional between Sectional 43 & 44 champs will be a dandy.

    Thanks for thinking of me, just been a busy week so far in real life. If I miss, I know it's my fault. I'm already jumpy about enough stuff without doing it over a pick 'em, lol.

    That's how last week was for me so I understand!

     

    Looks like just 2 games are going to separate us. Bonecrusher is on his own with Leo and we are split about DeKalb and Columbia City which should be a good matchup.

    And your 2019 state champions are

    I just made new predictions in the post above yours.  The predictions you quoted were my preseason predictions I made before week 1.  I do agree with you about North Vermillion now after seeing their result against Linton-Stockton.  I think North Vermillion’s conference and sectional is a toss-up between them and Parke Heritage.  I now have South Adams winning class 1A.  I still think Western Boone is the best team in class 2A.  They took their foot off the gas pedal and blew a big lead against a good class 4A Western team and only lost by 1 point.  I think that’s the only time Western Boone loses this season.

    I would agree with this as well. It pains this Flying Jet to say it, but Starfires are the team to beat. It sucks because we have had 2 or 3 similar teams recently and ran into Pioneer's dominance. Before that we ran into Sheridan's run. Looks like the Starfires found the right year or two.

    Guy is or was a Rival's Main Board member. The main board there was just goofy. However, there are great people throughout the country I converse with that were/are on the free board before things went crazy.

    1A Schools Adams Central, Busco, and South Adams are currently 10-1 vs 2A,  3A, and 4A schools in NE Indiana. 

    Note before last Friday 5 of the top 8 in 1A were in the same regional (NE). SA, AC, Southwood, Monroe Central, and Busco.

    Would Luers Consider Leaving The SAC?

    I'd say no that they wouldn't consider it. They have been competitive in the league recently and it prepares them well for post season play (especially when they are 2A). As mentioned above by Frozen Tundra, Northrop, Wayne, North Side, and South Side usually get beat by them so that is 4 of the 9 opponents that can be W's. They upset one of the bigger 4 and they're over .500 and that is really respectable for their size.
