21-21. Carroll's defense is their weakness. Overtime the way this thing is going. Unless one team can get a turnover. Youtube it............Homestead Live

Mason Englert is impressive with how he separates from the defender. He also catches everything thrown his way, even when well defended. One of the better receivers to come out of the area in recent memory.

I will be in utter shock if Carroll only scores 14. I'm going to say 35 minimum. The lowest they scored all year was 21 and that was against Dwenger...........which I keep touting as one of the best defenses in the state. I don't have a lot of confidence in the Charger defense though, so if Warsaw wins, it will have to be a shootout. I'm thinking 42-21.........something like that. Or my original prediction of 48-28.

Becker also has the luxury of throwing to some of the best receivers in the SAC. They separate themselves.

I didn't see the said post, just going by heresay. You're are more than welcome on this thread. Warsaw is engaging with three teams from the SAC for Sectional 3 supremecy. And I'm not counting them out by any stretch. I do, however, feel that they are the underdog of the three based on regular season performance. Good luck to them. Warsaw is a great community.

You might be surprised at who reads these forums. The media reads them. Head coaches read them. Administrators read them. They may not post, but they read them.

Good post. But unfortunately FWCS's main focus is "simplicity." They could open lots of doors for the kids, fans, and athletic budget if they would just open their minds to a new idea. Will it take a little more work? Sure. But the ultimate reward would be worth it.

Carroll's offense is as good as any when it is clicking on all cylinders. I just don't see their defense carrying them into regionals.

I got the year mixed up, I was referring to 2017. The 2018 Carmel team was well above even the Greyhound standard. Great team. Homestead got a taste of that depth last year. The Spartans looked good in the first half, but Carmel's depth was way too much for Homestead in the second. I also agree that Homestead has the best chance against Westfield this year. Defense wins championships, and Homestead has a pretty good one. Carroll's defense has some issues and the offense wont be able to carry them more than two or three games. Snider will also be a player in the sectional. We'll see just how much they've improved right off the bat Friday night? Warsaw? No one is talking about them. Personally, I think they are the 4th best team in that sectional. Maybe that'll light a fire under them.

Snider takes Carmel to the wire every single time. They were on the verge of blowing them out of the water in 18' before self-destructing. Penn took care of business the following week. Homestead outplayed Carmel for a half last year without their best player. Sure, good teams figure it out in the end and that's what Carmel did. My point is this: Sectional 4 is FAR from invincible. The favorite? Yes. Is Westfield a darn good football team? Yes. But Homestead has amped up their level of play since joining the SAC, so don't be surprised if they give the Shamrocks a run...............if they get out of Sectional 3.

Your not alone, many on here would agree with you. I just happen to agree with DT on this one. It's really about the amount of respect I have for Dwenger.

Warsaw's offence needs to bring it. Carroll is probably good for 48.

Don't worry about it..........it'll never happen. FWCS administrators agree with you in terms of finding opponents and traveling. So as a result of something one poster said, you maintain that breaking up the conference is for the sole benefit of Snider? That's not the case at all. Personally, I'm intrigued by ALL teams in the SAC. And like most fans, I root for them all come playoff time. I and many other fans miss, and would like to see again: Snider vs Penn Snider vs Cathedral Dwenger vs Chatard Dwenger vs LaSalle Luers vs Harley Luers vs Whitmer Coldwater (Ohio) vs anyone but Elmhurst Homestead vs Carmel Those are interesting games that you don't see all the time. Playing the same teams from Fort Wayne over and over again gets boring. Many fans would agree. Wouldn't it serve a team like South Side to be able to put New Haven or Columbia City on their schedule? My idea isn't as self-serving as you think it is. You need to look at the ENTIRE picture. Dwenger rumbles quite nicely with schools of that enrollment...............and bigger.

Approximately 1650 with the multiplier.

I can't say that I disagree. Dwenger is a great community. Lot's of hard working successful families.

Clearly you don't know as much about the Penn rivalry as you think you do. It was an annual game in the playoffs for many years. A much much bigger rivalry than Snider/Luers............not even close. Snider held the upper hand in the series until Penn recently won three of the last four. So forgive the Snider contingent to want to continue a rivalry like that versus playing a 2a school like Luers. Much respect to Luers, but Snider is much larger and the victories are extremely lopsided in Snider's favor.

I admire the kids confidence, but there are 6 teams in the SAC that could beat Warsaw. Three for sure and three could go either way. When the season started I though Warsaw might have a team that could or would beat anyone in the SAC. But now that the season is almost over, I don't see that being the case.

Teenagers? Certainly an educated adult didn't say that.

When has another team used South Side's field? Not saying it hasn't happened, it's just news to me if it has.

I agree with Prospect. It just wouldn't make any sense for Dwenger to play in the small division. To be fair though, I believe in the 1.5 multiplier for P/P's. That puts Dwenger in Division l.

Carrol over Warsaw 48-28 Homestead over Snider 24-17 North Side over Northrop 35-28 Dwenger over Anderson 49-0 Marion over South Side 28-21 Delta over Wayne 35-21 Concordia over Oak Hill 35-7 Luers over Fairfield 36-35

Not sure why they scheduled Harrison then. Playing Homestead an hour and forty five minutes away is a better proposition than playing Harrison and hour and ten minutes away.

The fans want better games and competition. So I agree with you there. Finding ways to increase your athletic department's budget has nothing to do with greed. It has everything to do with being financially responsible.

Extra revenue for our athletic departments in Fort Wayne seems "silly"? Better competition equates to better teams and longer runs in the tournament. More games equals more revenue. Better competition equals more revenue. The economic impact of a Homestead/Westfield matchup would be far greater than Homestead/South Side.

Great post...........every word of it. Center Grove and the rest of the HCC slowly rose to the level of the nearby MIC. It didn't happen overnight, but it eventually happened. The same could happen for Snider, Homestead, and Carroll if they can schedule an Indy team or two. Even Penn or Elkhart would benefit them more than one of the "Division ll" teams. Throw Merrillville and Valpo into the mix. There are all sorts of possibilities. I'm sure Coldwater (Ohio), Hartley (Columbus), and Whitmer (Toledo) would all be more than happy to come back to the Fort. You hit the nail on the head regarding ticket sales.
