The talent level at North Judson in the 7th through 9th classes I hear are pretty good...conference winning good. Hell have two years or so so ball but when these sophomores are seniors theyll be tough.
We talking like Russ Radtke era good?

I was told that we thought we could play Linton In the state tourney if they stayed 1A and didn’t want to play them twice a year(if we can beat falcons in tourney, idk if we can!). Seems silly to me but I don’t think it was Moore’s decision.
That makes a lot of sense to me. I wonder why North Vermillion wasn't concerned with having to potentially play Linton twice in the same season? Although, now that I think about it, the WRC teams face the possibility of having to play twice every year. Are the Wolfs going to drop out of the WRC to avoid that scenario?

There's your Parke county education showing again. Everyone outside of Rockville knows it's Wolfs.

if you had to choose between getting shot in the face with a potato gun or having a staring contest with Brian Moore, what would you choose?
How about wrestling a grizzly bear or having a singing contest with Herb King?
How about smacking a bull on the rear or having a dance off with Greg Barrett?
1. potato gun....Brian Moore uses pepper spray to spice his food
2. grizzly bear....Herb has the voice of an angel
3. spanking the beef....have you ever seen Barrett dance? He is as graceful as Fred Astaire

As far as your question you can let people hit you in the balls all day long if that's what you want ill just keep watching football.
So you're saying you would arm wrestle Brian Moore? Are you insane? Have you no regard for your personal safety?
Brian Moore doesn't chew gum. Brian Moore chews tin foil.

Not taking anything away From Logan I happen to be friends with his dad (and I'm sure Ronnie would agree) but they have 1000 passing yards against a combined win loss record of 1-8 in their first three outings. He is a great athlete and I wish him the very best but if your comment is aimed at trying to prove (that's prove with a V not an F or if it makes you happy ill say trying to proof) the strength of their offense , I would wait until they play some stronger competition.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but passing offenses are different than running offenses. Even if you're playing a bad team, you still have to be able to make the right reads and throw the ball accurately so that your receivers can catch it. That's much more complicated than just handing the ball to a running back.
If you had to choose between getting hit in the balls with a baseball bat or arm wrestling Brian Moore, what would you choose? I'm picking the baseball bat.

Springs Valley at West Washington
Valley has lost 13 straight meetings with the Senators, with the last Blackhawk win a 9-6 win in the opening round of the 2006 Sectional!! This includes two WW wins last season, 26-22 in regular season followed by a 27-20 win in the rematch of sectional 48. The Blackhawks had their first test last and came out a 42-18 loser to 2A Paoli. They had opened with a 30-14 win over Eastern Greene, and followed with a 28-14 win over 2A Mitchell…but both of those teams are 0-3. Valley hasn’t won more than 5 games in a year since 2011 (6-4). For the Senators, that SOS is really against them…299th out of the whole state, and it’s understandable as their 3-0 records comes against three winless teams: 38-8 over Eastern (Pekin), 72-0 over 2A Crawford County, and 50-6 over 2A Mitchell.
That account for a 10.63 SOS, but SV isn’t much better at 19.21 (272). Coach Hammond (9th year) and Coach Bowsman (13th year) know this is a big early season matchup to see where their respective teams are. Obviously WW has a high scoring average (53.3, 2nd in 2A, 4th in state), and a 3rd ranked scoring D in 1A (9th in state) at just 4.67 points allowed. Hard to judge that aganst whom they’ve played. They are getting respect though with a #9 Ranking in both AP and IFCA. WW has knocked on the door a couple times with back to back 11-1 seasons in 2015 and 2016, and 9-3 last year. The seniors have gone 28-9. SAG ratings have the Senators with a big margin- 30.71
Attica at Parke Heritage
Parke Heritage is only in their 2nd year of existence but there is plenty of football history from the days of the Rockville Rox, whom along with Turkey Run form this school district. The Wolves, under long time (22 years) coach Brian Moore are ranked #6 AP/#8 IFCA, sit 3-0 after an 8-3 initial season in 2018. The Red Ramblers under 12 year head coach Ryan Good have won 7 or more games in each of the last 8 years but earned no hardware for it. They did achieve one of the better revenge wins of 2018 by knocking off Parke Heritage in Sectional Semi’s 20-16 after losing 37-2 to the Wolves in week 4. That probably serves a good motivation for PH. Parke Heritage have beaten a collective 1-8 opponent. Certainly that offense is clicking at 54.00 a game... which is #1 in class A and 3rd in the state overall....not to mention the 13th ranked 1A scoring D at 12.33... They have yet to face an opponent that might test them on either side of the ball. Will that be Attica? They put up 50 in each game over 1-2 RIverton Parke and 2-1 Clinton Prairie... They have the 6th highest scoring average in 1A (45.33) and the 15th in D at 13.33. Sagarin sure favors PH by 19+.. Coach Moore's team has the #2 1A Sagarin ranking at 63.35, Attica at #6 54.08. Their Schedule Strengths are about the same... PH 24.99 Att 26.05 both in the 240's of the state. This is a big game for both teams to prove they are are real. As Brian said on WTHI last night...here's where we see where we are at. The one comparison would be the Seeger game... Parke Heritage won big 52-7 in week 1... Coach Good's Ramblers won 36-20 last week.
Linton-Stockton at North Vermillion
Coach Brian Crabtree’s Falcon’s lost just two games in 2018; one in the state final to Pioneer, the other in week 4 to Linton’s Miners 34-7. The Miner’s have bested NV in each of the last 5 meetings by a combined 220-59 points. The Falcon seniors would love to change this tide in their final clash with Coach Brian Oliver’s squad. At 31-9 in their career, 3 of those losses come from Linton. Linton is coming off their worst WL season since 1996 @ 5-6, and wants to restore some luster to the program. After a hard fought error filled 28-20 loss to unbeaten 3A Southridge to open the season, Linton regrouped to beat 1-2 3A Sullivan 35-12, and winless 2A Monrovia 35-0. North Vermillion coasted 43-8 over 4A winless Oven Valley on the road, and last week 35-0 over winless Covington. Squeezed between those two wins was their toughest battle thus far, a 42-38 win over 2-1 3A rival South Vemillion. The Miners have a Sag rating of 62.55, 6th in 2A, 86th in state, while the Falcons sit 9th in 1A (142 overall) at 48.27. This would favor Linton on the road by 14.3 but the Miners have been susceptible to the passing game of which the Falcons could spotlight. Both offenses put up points. NV at 40/game, Linton at 30. SOS is a clear nod to the Miners at 47.54 (14th in 2A, 33rd overall) compared to 21.25 (31/266) for the Falcons. The Miners are slowly getting attention in the 2A polls, jumping to #12 AP/ #11 IFCA, while North Vermillion sits at #3 AP #4 IFCA In the 1A Polls.
Delphi at Sheridan
The renewal of a series that played from 2001 through 2010. The Oracles opened that series with 2 blow out wins (34-0 and 35-7) before the tide turned and the Blackhawks won the last 8. Coach Strasser has the Delphi program coming off their best win season (9-1) since a 9-2 2000 season ended in a sectional title loss. 2018 saw them fall to Rensselaer Central in the opening round. They’ve started off with 2 wins this year (29-0 over winless 3A Benton Central, and 20-9 over 2-1 1A Carroll (Flora), but they lost last week 28-14 to 3-0 unbeaten Eastern (Greentown) . The Blackhawks, under the 54 year tutelage of Larry Bud Wright took a hit in the opening week to a high ranked 2A Western Boone (2-1 #4/#3) 41-6. They have responded to that with back to back wins over 1-2 1A Clinton Central 49-29, then 50-19 over 2-1 1A Tri-Central. Neither team’s SOS is above 20, both in the lower realms of the state rank (276, 294), and their SAG rankings are neither identical. Sheridan seems to have the more potent offense at 35/ppg, while the Oracle D allows just 12.33 per game (11th in 2A). That Western Boone score certainly hurts the numbers for Sheridan. Still the Blackhawks are ranked #12 in both polls, and having played the highly ranked Stars will have given them good game experience. This game being at Sheridan, I have to think the Blackhawks would be favored by more than the 0.64 Sagarin gives them. Perhaps the Oracles can prove people wrong. No votes in either poll says they haven’t earned that respect yet. Here is an opportunity.
Greencastle at South Putnam
South Putnam and their new head coach Chuck Sorrell came out on the losing end of a Putnam county clash falling 42-21 to unbeaten 2A North Putnam last week. They had opened with dominant performances over 2A Cloverdale 33-14 and 4A Owen Valley 32-0. Problem was they were a combined 0-6. The Eagles now face another Putnam County foe in 2-1 3A Greencastle. The TIgercubs also started 2-0, and also against two winless programs. First over 3A Crawfordsville 34-6, and 2A Cloverdale 19-18. That win over the Clovers by a single point is noticeable as South Put won by 19. 10 Year coach Mike Meyer has turned things around from a 1-9 2015 to compile a 24-9 3 year run including last year’s 8-2 mark. That includes a 12-0 win over South Putnam in 2018, amd a 49-7 win in 2017. The Eagles have finished sub 500 three years running, but yet emerged as Sectional 35 champs in 2018, They were 3-6 in the regular season, beat Shortridge, Howe, and Traders Point before falling to Lutheran in the regional tilt. South Put last beat Greencastle in 2015. Both teams have pretty low SOS ranks, 21.41 (264 overall) for GCastle, 16.76 (282) for SP. The Tigercubs hold a slight 32.56 to 30.51 edge in SAG, but with this game at South Put that about equals it out…altho both schools are located technically in Greencastle. The Eagles have the higher scoring O at 28.7 versus 24.5, while the Tigercubs have the slightly lower scoring D at 16.3 versus 18.8. With both schools at 2-1, this game means a lot to both to come out with that 3rd win.
North Judson At Knox
The Bluejays have won 6 of the last 10 meetings with the Redskins, but not the last 3. Knox has won back to back 14-7 victories these last 2 years, as Coach John Hendryx came about in 2015 and has turned the program around to two 9 win seasons in ’17 and ’16 and coming off a 7-4 2018 season. North Judson is under the leadership of 1st year coach Brett Lambert, and the Bluejays reached .500 last year at 6-6. The immediate comparison is that both have played 1-2 1A Culver with both being wins, however Knox dominated with a 42-14 win, and NJ survived a two point 26-24 margin. Knox also beat 2-1 2A Rochester 34-27, and own a 27-0 win over 1-2 1A Winamac. North Judson started 2-0 with the Culver win, and a 46-0 win over winless 1A Caston. However, they surrendered 48 points in a 48-20 loss to 2-1 2A North Newton last week. Knox would appear to have the numbers in their favor. Their seniors have learn to win with a 28-9 career, they are 13th in scoring in 3A with 34.3 (59th overall), allow just 13.7 ppg (9/64) and have a 47.83 SAG rating compared to the Blue Jays 23.45. Neither team has much of a SOS ranking, Knox at 239 NJudson at 269 overall. The Redskins are ranked #10 AP and #16 IFCA in 3a polls. The Bluejays do put up 30.7 ppg, 16th in 1A (87th overall) but allowed 24 ppg ranks 166th Overall. This would be an opportunity for the Bluejays to step up and make a name for themselves , but at Knox it could be an uphill climb. Redskins are favored by SAG by 24.4, more being at home.
North Miami @ Tippecanoe Valley
Denver and Akron. No, not Colorado and Ohio. These are the Indiana homes of the 2-1 1A Warriors and the 2-1 3A Vikings. North Miami, under 3rd year coach Joe Grant suffered a 3-7 2018 campaign after back to back solid seasons (7-4, 8-2). Despite being 1A, the Warriors have played evenly with Tippy Valley, actually winning 6 of the last 10 meetings. The Vikings took a 36-7 win last year ending a 3 game Warrior run over TV. Tippecanoe Valley finished 6-5 last year, their first winning season ending a 4 year sub .500 run. North Miami however fell hard to 3-0 1A top 10 Southwood 45-7 last week. This came after a 2-0 start with wins over 2A’s Manchester (41-27 1-2) and Taylor (42-15 1-2). The Vikings opens with a 24-12 loss to 2-1 4A Culver Academy, but rebounded with a hard fought seven point win over 0-3 1A Northfield (28-21) and putting the first loss of the year 32-18 over 2-1 3A Peru.
Tippy Valley has the better SAG with 43.62 (26th in 3A 162 Overall), while the Warriors are at 23.03 (41 overall).
There is a substantial difference in SOS 39.33 to 16.25 for the Vikings. Coach Stephen Moriarty’s team scores about as much as they allow (24.00/21.00) but the same can be said for NM (30.00/28.67). The SAG rating heavily favors Tippecanoe Valley at 20.59.
Just a couple of things to add Miner Pride.
1. If Attica holds the Wolfs under 50 points, I'll swim the entire length of the Wabash River.....ain't happening. Wolfs 56 Attica 7.
2. Attica is the best Going Out of Business team in Indiana. I agree with the person who made that observation.
3. Brian Moore has more magical powers than Harry Potter and David Copperfield combined.

You also hesitate to spell Wolfs correctly too, Warrior Princess, so...….
They used to spell "Rocks" as "Rox". lol It's no wonder they spell "Wolfs" as "Wolves". He probably spells "Patriots" as "Patriotves".
I can't believe Logan White has over 1,000 (!) yards in only three games. I can't believe how fast the Wolfs play on offense. I CAN believe that Brian Moore has built yet another WRC powerhouse. If I were starting a football program from scratch, and I could pick any coach in the state of Indiana, it would be either Brian Moore or Herb King. It's hard to believe they both coach in the same little conference.

I just hope the falcons don’t get blitz happy against this team. Takes them out of plays. Stay in your 4-4 or do a 5-2 box, bump to TE side. The thing with Linton is.. You know what’s coming, it’s just finding what gap to align in to try and stop it.
When I've watched the Falcons play they seem to be more of a read and react defense over the years. It's kind of a rarity in the blitz happy WRC.

I can't wait to see that full Harvest Moon in the sky on my trip back from Cayuga! I may have to slide in some Neil Young with the windows down... Course my version of God's Country is in Greene County!!!
I just took a look at the Sagarin ratings. I'll be interested to see how much they change over the next 2-3 weeks. Looking at a hypothetical Linton vs Parke Heritage game, the Wolfs are the slightest of favorites on a Neutral field. With the Wolfs juggernaut offense putting up 55 points a game, I don't see their Sagarin rating falling at any point between now and Thanksgiving weekend.

Week 4 WRC Power Rankings:
1. Parke Heritage Wolfs 3-0 (0 state championships, 1 state runner-up Rockville 2007)
162 (!) points in three games? Juggernaut doesn't even begin to describe the Wolfs offensive fire power. There is a reason they are the whopping favorite to win the WRC and state championship.
2. North Vermillion Falcons 3-0 (1 state championship, 1 runner-up)
Are the Falcons the closest team in the WRC to being able to hold the Wolfs under 50 points in a game?
3. Attica Red Ramblers 3-0 (0 state championships, 1 runner-up)
If the Red Ramblers had a little more depth they would be closer to slowing down the juggernaut Wolfs offense.
4. South Vermillion Wildcats 2-1 (0 state championships, 0 runner-up, 1 Band state championship)
The future is bright in Clinton, just ask them. Or don't, because they'll tell you all about it anyway! Best band in the WRC! Greg Barrett would've won Dancing with the Stars if he had auditioned.
5. Seeger Patriots 1-2 (1 state championship, 1 runner-up)
The athletes are back in the lower levels. It's just a matter of time before Herb has the Patriots back near the top. Herb would've won American Idol if he had auditioned.
6. Covington Trojans 0-3 (0 state championships, 0 runner-up)
Look for the Men of Troy to start putting some dubs on the board.
7. Fountain Central Mustangs 0-3 (1 state championship, 3 runner-up)
The most storied football program in the WRC is in for a long season. It's class A football, it happens to everyone at some point. The house that Dale Hummer built won't stay down for long.
8. Riverton Parke Panthers 1-2 (0 state championship, 0 runner-up)
Even though the Panthers have won more games than the Trojans and Mustangs combined, they finish at the bottom of the rankings. Teams who cut block on kick-offs (repeatedly, it's not an accident) deserve to dwell in the cellar. Dirty, classless, ILLEGAL football.

Welcome to God's country. The Wabash River Conference, home to 3 state championships and 7 runner-ups.
Brian Moore has the Wolfs howling right now. I need to release my updated WRC power rankings.

I'm thinking about going to the Attica - Parke Heritage game this week. It's incredibly intriguing. Are the Ramblers for real, or just a sheep in Wolfs clothing?
Will the Parke Heritage Wolfs have yet ANOTHER running clock in the second half? With possibly the best offense in the storied history of the WRC, it's a possibility. The Wolfs could be at the 36 Saloon celebrating by 9:00 Friday night.
If you had to choose between tongue kissing a rattle snake or going toe to toe with Brian Moore, what would you choose? Me personally? Why stare certain death in the face? No, I'm frenching that rattle snake every single time baby. Don't tug on Superman's cape, and don't tangle with Brian Moore.

Wasn't the name of Herb's band Herbie and the Jets?
Believe it or not, when I was in school, Riverton Parke won a yearly sportsmanship award from the IHSAA and Colts a couple times. They would be getting beat 62-0 and still be helping up Seeger players after plays and congratulating them on good plays. Evidently Phil Halsema and Hank Lopez had a better handle on the team than the last few coaches have.
Herbie and the Love Bugs?
I don't remember seeing any dirty play from Riverton Parke with the couple of guys who followed Lopez either. It seems to be a recent trend, like the last couple of years.

PH vs NC
The wolves only ran 35 total plays and scored 50. Would like to see us run the ball a little moore, pun intended! White has over 1000 yards already after 3 games and our receivers seem to score at will. The fastest paced offense I’ve ever seen but also had 3 flags for guys not being set. Looked better defensively with guys making big plays all over. North Central is bad. Real bad so that is what it is. Wolves first game without recovering an onside.
My son said Moore is fired up after losing to them in the sectional and is tired of being a “finesse team.” Can he get a ground attack going?
This week:
PH 56-7......Moore takes out his frustration from last year and establishes a run game. Can #4 be stopped for ramblers?
Linton 28-20......Miners griddy D Stops the falcons passing game.
seeger 22-12........be a boring game lol
Covington 40-7.....brown takes our frustration on the weak mustangs
Sv? Know nothing about Marshall, heard their best player was hurt on cheap shot?
The only thing the Wolfs were missing last year when I saw them play was a consistent running game and ability to stop the run on defense. If they can fix those issues, they will roll everyone they play and go 15-0. I have to think that the Wolfs offense is the best in the history of the WRC. I don't see them being tested until maybe semistate. For sure the favorite to win the WRC and sectional/regional. The collection of athletes and coaching they have is unbeatable. Brian Moore with beat you with his kids, then turn around and take your kids and beat you with them too.
I also heard that it was a cheapshot that blew SV's best player's knee out. Cutting people on a kick-off??? It's been the talk of the WRC fans/players/coaches/athletic directors the last few days. The film is being passed around from player to player, school to school.
I don't know how many people know this, but Herb King is not just a great football coach. He is a talented singer as well. He has Seeger knocking on the door again. Don't be surprised when they win some games as underdogs this year.

Attica at Parke Heritage
I think we'll find out more about Attica than Parke Heritage in this game. I think the difference will be the strength of the pack for the Wolfs. Attica's Rambler pack just isn't as big or deep.
Linton at North Vermillion
I think we'll find out more about North Vermillion than Linton in this game.
Seeger at Riverton Parke
I think we'll find out more about Riverton Parke than Seeger in this game.
Fountain Central at Covington
What is the opposite of undefeated? Defeated? Anyway the two teams combined are 0-6. The teams that beat Covington have a combined record of 8-1. Seems like the Men of Troy are due. Good tradition will have the Mustangs back sooner than later.
Marshall at South Vermillion
A lot of people were surprised at how much of a game the Panthers gave the Wildcats. Hoping the rumor about SV's best player tearing his ACL is just a rumor. That young man is a great football player.

That may very well be the case. He was talking about how much time he had spent on the phone with Hudl over the last few weeks, and still can't get it ironed out. He said the only issue they had with their Hi-Pod was linking in to Hudl sideline, so that would seem to confirm your opinion.

I've received mixed reviews on the Hi-Pod X31. It looks like a great product, but I recently spoke to a coach who purchased one at the start of the season and has had trouble linking it to Hudl Sideline every week. He was very surprised, frustrated and disappointed because Hudl recommends Hi-Pod for use with their products.

When Paul Brown was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1956, two inventors in the state of Ohio brought him a helmet with a radio transmitter in it. He was able to relay his play calls to his quarterback without substituting players to carry the information from the sideline to the huddle. Brown was able to use the technology in four games before the NFL banned radios in helmets. There were times that the quarterback would heard a nearby taxi dispatcher instead of his coach! The full article is linked below.

WRC Week 4
in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Posted · Edited by Tanka Jahari
Is it true that the Wolfs are considering dropping out of the WRC due to potentially playing a regular season opponent again in the tournament?
Brian Moore drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls.
