They are the reincarnation of Southern Wells of the 05 & 06 seasons from watching them.

Our wings didn't have as good of a night, outside Tester having a big gain. That was mostly due to Carroll playing it that way. They (Carroll) wanted & thought they could go toe to toe on the interior of the line. Bluhm stepped up and made them pay. I'm ready for the Jets to play on Friday and would love to see them execute & make a third straight trip to Lucas Oil. Just like watching Bellmont's volleyball team going to 3 straight finals and if the Jets win, a 4th straight trip for Adams County to the 1A football state finals as South Adams started the trend in 2020. Go Jets!

Played great on defense and certain plays on offense. Others on offense we didn't execute very well, but mostly because Carroll was going to make sure they overplayed them.

Possibly so. Why I asked opponents really good part. Just seeing Lutheran hammer Triton Central & others early, it appeared they'd stomp all of 1A & maybe 2A. Just curious if injuries or something happened.

AC is under center probably 92 to 95% of the time.

Just respecting the next opponent and taking it 1 week at a time. Ask SA about 2019 or even us at Semi State in 03.

We aren't falling for that. Have to get past the Blue Jays once again before entertaining that.

So another low scoring 1 score win by Lutheran from what I saw posted. What's the story on the Saints? Sandbagging to keep their guys in shape all 4 quarters? Opponents really good & surviving? Beginning of the year they were hammering great teams. I suspect a lot of saving it up for the big game.

AC 29 Carroll 0 Final

AC 17 Carroll 0 half. Jets settle for the FG to end the half. Carroll gets the ball to start the 2nd half.

AC 49 MG 14 at half after MG took a 14-7 lead in the 1st quarter. Just explosive plays both ways in the 1st. AC got stops that MG didn't in 2nd quarter. Good wake-up call for the Jets that everyone is bringing their best shot at them!

This is how it should be, or at least rank the top 8 teams that feed into a regional and random draw the rest if we have to compromise.

Curious on that myself. They mentioned it around 2021 as possibly doing it and then just went with the prior format then and last year.

Hoping you are right, but I don't like being down a WB/LB that plays with a lot of heart. Especially offensively due to our formation & tendencies.

Like the support but I'm never that confident. Hope we see those 2 in the 1A finals again. AC needs to get healthy & stay healthy.

Speaking of Luers, surprised to see they were in a shootout with a down Busco squad. Could Eastside, Bluffton, Eastbrook, or other upset them?

AC 42 SA 6 at the end of 3. Jets must have got chewed & played really well in that 3rd for a running clock.

AC 21 SA 6 at half. AC gets 2nd half kick as SA will he kicking further back with personal foul penalty. Jets running on the Starfires but have been pedestrian. SA hit big play 3rd play of game & punched it in next play. SA not getting anything else really offensively. AC hasn't attempted a pass in the rain, shocking I know. Jets look to be better team but look really conservative.

Well the commissioner liked that in the interview. Pretty frustrating as that doesn't align with Hoosier values in my opinion. Though my opinion has no weight or value.

Boo the response! Lol 😆

Not trying to be negative, just honest about the experiences. I have higher expectations than most for our team which isn't always a good thing. I'm probably at the practice fields as much as the high school & middle school coaches without being on staff. I love AC football in the good and bad times (like my senior year) as a second generation Jet raising a 3rd generation Jet! As for last Friday, yes they were good defensively, but how did Heritage have so much success compared to our struggles? Heritage runs an offense similar to Bluffton that their defense sees every day. What I thought telling was Kunkel's interview on the webcast after the game as you could tell he was wanting that one pretty badly. Even on Saturday mornings a couple times before the game he was wanting to get that win. Heck the Saturday after the Southern Wells vs AC game he shook Coach Mosser's hand and said "Let's put on a show Friday" after their youth tackle teams had their way against us. I've been blessed to be "around" the AC program in the youth and spoiled to have been around this senior class (plus the last 2 before them a bit) through current freshmen class. They've had success throughout & this game outside the 2 finals was frustrating to watch since the 21 sectional game vs Busco. Credit to all those teams as Bluffton before turnovers was getting defensive stops and running & throwing successfully on our defense. Credit to our kids for hanging tough & making the plays the needed in that slugfest. 24-0 could have easily been only 3-0 or worse a regular season loss if things worked out for Bluffton. Thankfully they did not and it's time to take care of business. We must get healthy as that has been a factor we cannot ignore.

Next few years, Bluffton may be the team to beat in the ACAC as their middle school & youth teams are really good. Bluffton really outplayed AC last Friday but turned the ball over 3x. I like their offensive scheme compared to the first 2 weeks. Really didn't see much of their Heritage game, but you could tell they've been focusing on AC defensively since week 1. AC could have some down years coming up as the MS & youth tackle teams have struggled. Hopefully they will figure it out when they all play together as they have some individual talents. Though we were thinking similar in the 2020 (J Collier), 2021 (B Heyerly), & 2022 (G Cook) grades back then as well and kids stepped up like A Currie & many others.

Say it every year, just COMPROMISE! Seed the top half of each sectional using what ever factors & systems and random draw the rest. Seeded teams host first round and then better seed hosts from there. Regional & semi states be neutral sites. Keep the all in format & no qualifiers.

78 is as he's hardly played all year. 79 has stepped up to lessen the void as well as 2 backups 55 & 63 that have played well beyond what anyone expected. Same as I believe 60 on the OL due to other injuries. OL took a hit as 78 has been out most of the year, 74 in & out a bit injured too, and another SR quit at the scrimmage that was top 3 OL. Others have been in & out with injuries in skill spots but not as long as the linemen.
