It is a shame what is happening at South Bend Washington. For years they were a power, but not for the last 20 years. What can be done? I do not have the answer, but for Harrell to predict this.
My oh, my!
Second week of conference games.
St. Joe (3-0) @ Marian (1-2) Holy War '26
SB Washington (0-3) @ Penn (3-0)
Elkhart (2-1) @ SB Riley (1-2)
New Prairie (0-3) @ SB Adams (2-1)
Don't believe any of these games will be close.
I agree something needs to change. Having the Penn JV play a varsity schedule isn't going to happen. Penn is tapped by their location. Several years ago, there was talk about them joining the Duneland. This never happened due to the time zone difference and travel for the other sports.

This will be an interesting topic as it moves forward. I too hate what the travel sport teams are doing too the kids. It's never their fault, the ump (official) screwed us, me our team......
Like IO says, adapt to how the game is being called.
This game will be a dog fight. Both defenses are the strengths of both teams. I agree that SJ will need to find a few things on offense but the same can be said for Dwenger. Dwenger has one heck of a kicker, and it may come down to his leg.
SJ will find a way to score once and count on their defense to hold Dwenger to a couple field goals. SJ 7-6.
This should be a very tight game, and the first one to 14 points should win, St. Joe has relied on their defense all season and I expect that to be the case tonight.
17-7 St. Joe.
This should be an interesting game. St. Joe's defense is legit and has to prevent the big runs from Mishawaka. St. Joe's offense needs to not turn the ball over and see what their running game can do.
I think it'll be a one score game.
