Not big on predictions (for good reason) but I think GS got their “scare” against a tough-minded and talented Lawrenceburg squad. As an aside, as much as people in various corners of the state like to claim they’re “disrespected” NOBODY gets less respect than Southeast Indiana and, generally, when Lawrenceburg and East Central come boiling out of that corner of the state they don’t go down easy and if they do go down they generally leave a Helluva “mark”. Personally, I think Gibson Southern wins this Semi-State game going away. I can’t see them looking past Tri-West at this point and I think they are simply supremely talented as a team. I think that this game, from their perspective, is not so much a “survive and move on game” as it is a “statement game”. A lot of us who have watched 3A South the last decade understand that GS is a perennial contender but they are oft overlooked by the rest of the State when they only see Memorial or Heritage Hills coming out that part of the State in 3A. It’s perhaps been too long coming but GS has something to prove and I think they aren’t going to miss this opportunity to prove it.

It’s over. Memorial fans can safely start making Thanksgiving weekend reservations in Indy.

Interesting thing that year (if I recall correctly) was that Tri-West fought hard just to clear their Sectional and was facing the defending champ Andrean at Lucas Oil. I think everyone expected Andrean to cruise to the second championship in a row but instead Tri-West was clearly dominant in that game. Wasn’t there another Hendershot (sp?) on that team as well?

Tom Helfrich (owner of TriState) was quite the late model dirt racer in his day as well.

I haven’t…..I remain confused about what is happening next year.

Some alumni of note from Tri-West: racer Jeff Gordon (4 time NASCAR champ and cross-country runner at Tri-West); gymnast Bridget Sloan (Olympic medalist and World Champion) and writer (and Wabash grad) Dan Simmons (one of the most renown writers in the country…if you saw the miniseries “The Terror”, you’ve seen a bit of his work).

Not only have they competed in 4A, they’ve thrived.

2 SIAC AND 1 PAC Team in Semi-State. Congrats to SW Indiana!

GS wins 31-29.

Scratch that. Got it on 89.1.

I’m listening to 89.1. All I’m hearing is hippie music. Can’t believe there’s no video.
