6A Eliminated (Brownsburg) 5A New Palestine (3) over Merrillville 4A Eliminated (Roncalli) 3A Eliminated (Cascade) 2A Brownstown (30) over Andrean (I have picked both teams, so I think I am technically eliminated) 1A Eliminated (South Putnam)

I felt 66 was the biggest disruptor in the Linton game.

Lots of people want to tell others how to do something that they can’t/won’t do themselves.

Brownstown’s defensive line dominated the game tonight. The fact that Linton was one tipped ball away from being down 8-0 at halftime with negative yardage is crazy to me. Then you have the tipped pass as time expires, a kickoff return for a touchdown, then a counter flea flicker on 3 consecutive plays. From an 8 point game to a 29-0 game in the blink of an eye. Then they recovered and onside kick that was somehow given to Linton. Brownstown has the line to win it all. The only downfall I saw on any game film was that they can give up a lot of passing yards if they do not get pressure on the QB. Good luck to whoever can stop that from happening 😆. Good Luck the rest of the year!

That's our secret way of getting rid of the Sullivan smell. 🤣

He is still around and continues to call the streamed games for Rader Media each week. I think he is like the rest of us and just doesn't have as much time as he used to. I find it surprising that, in the world of social media explosion, these message boards really don't blow up anymore. Damn Facebook! IAlso, my joke about the sprinklers turned into a downpour for a bit this AM. My wife woke me up between 3 and 5 and said, "It's pouring outside, God really must love him some Miner Football". I couldn't even be mad about that 🤣 Once again, safe travels tonight! Hope to see a huge crowd!

I hope your take on this is about as accurate as your Mater Dei vs Gibson Southern Prediction. 🤣 That game had to be great to watch. The only thing I will add is that Linton also has 12 Seniors, including 3 and 4 year starters. If Brownstown can keep their footing and continue to use their speed, it could be a long night. I just have a hard time counting out any Linton team.

I just try to get on an read with there not being a whole lot said on here. I expect a game like last year, close yet could turn bad with a couple of turnovers. Last years game will be remembered by the 2 pt conversion that should not have counted. With that being said, Linton fumbled into the endzone in the second half, and also got a touchdown called back right before half. It could have been Brownstown trying to take the lead in the 4th quarter instead of Linton. Either way, it was a heck of a ball game to watch. Hope everyone has safe travels tomorrow to and from the game. I think they shut the sprinklers off tonight, so it should be dry by game time 🤣

Regional Week! Brownstown @ Linton Bonus Games of the Week Milan @ Providence Indian Creek @ Gibson Southern Martinsville @ Heritage Hills

1A Providence (109) over Milan 2A Andrean (40) over Southmont 3A Fort Wayne Luers (58) over Twin Lakes 4A Eliminated 5A Bloomington South (24) over Floyd Central 6A Penn (12) over Carroll

With all that being said, I do believe Gibson Southern should make it 😄 It is definitely theirs to lose.

I think either Lawrenceburg or Cascade can win those games, especially if they are the hosts. Bus rides can have a strange effect on teenagers. Cascade might have a much weaker schedule, but they are obliterating everyone. Also, they can not overlook Mater Dei this Friday Night. Even without Goebel at the helm, they are still Mater Dei and can play with anyone due to their schedule.

Gibson Southern is quite impressive, but I would not consider them a lock to make it to LOS.
