  1. Coach Doyle is an Andrean grad. Played QB there. I think the last time these two played one another was 21 years ago in the State Championship game.
  2. Curious, I know there are some Roncalli and Brebeuf guys floating around here, just how did that Brebeuf/Roncalli game go down? I was pretty surprised by that one….and didn’t even catch it until just this morning. As to Chatard, yeah, there’s a few nicks, bumps and bruises but hopefully everyone will eventually come around come playoff time. BTW, good to see a @Cyoguru post. It’s almost as rare a TW sighting these days.
  3. Nice to meet you. Myself - EIAC Champs in ‘77 via the now defunct Brookville HS Greyhounds (probably never going to fully sign on to a team named Wildcats carrying the blue and white of hated KY). I still cheer for the EIAC teams through playoffs…although I spent a lot of time nursing wounds from Dick Meador teams back in the day. Indianapolis via Butler and Chatard via marrying a Catholic girl from Brookville….add a lot of CYO coaching along the way as well. That said, I do wish the folks back home had a little more tolerance for us “cheatin’ Catholics”.
  4. Kokomo loses to McCutcheon…that’s a bit unexpected.
  5. Might have been early in the second series, but, yes. They’re down QB1. Overtime.
  6. The only 3A team that has, so far, won the 4A State Championship is Evansville Memorial. They have done it once. Unfortunately, 4A is not the pushover for bumped 3A teams that 5A has proven to be for 4A teams that have been bumped up. Every time Chatard has been bumped it’s either ran into a Roncalli team on the rise (since the IHSAA insists on putting all the Catholics in the same sectional if at all possible) or a team like New Pal in Regional when they began their run a few years back…so Chatard continues get get knocked back down to 3A. Now, if the IHSAA just wasn’t so “cute” about those Sectional pairings….
  7. I have a hard time predicting the easy win some seem to think this is going to be for Chatard. I recall hearing similar predictions for the game with Roncalli….from Roncalli folks in some cases. It obviously didn’t turn out that way. I do think @Just a dad has summarized the team fairly well, though. I also agree with @FastpacedO that the defense has been buying time for the offense to gel….hopefully much like they came together over the course of last season. I can’t help but notice @tango’s cautionary remark about what happened the last time Chatard beat Cathedral and Roncalli the same year (and Guerin) - they got absolutely mauled by Memorial in Semistate. Just a few years prior, the last time Chatard beat Cathedral, Roncalli and Guerin they were also beat up badly by Ritter (who lost at State to Luers) led by Jake Purichia and a bevy of great receivers and backs. @Boiler Boog has mentioned some underclassmen for Chatard which, admittedly, do look pretty good but, clearly, this team is going to achieve or fail on the strength of its upperclassmen. I have to admit, though, I’m curious as heck regarding @Boiler Boog’s background in that he can be behind both an Indy Catholic (I’m giving Brebeuf the benefit of the doubt in that reference) and yet have some EIAC in him. Sounds like I path I walk/walked…
  8. Looks pretty legit. Westfield had to be moved up….I am, though, having a little question in my mind about Ben Davis at the moment. I have to admit being a little exasperated at Carmel (who might not even be 13th). I’ve oft considered them to be the public school version of Cathedral (which is not entirely intended as a compliment but, rather, just an observation) and, frankly, just how a school that is literally multiples in size larger than most everyone else they play, having, not just abundant but rather excessive human capital, coaching capital and real life, well, ……..capital - doesn’t find itself most every year comfortably ensconced well within the Top 5 year in and out seems terribly underwhelming on their part. That school has more resources than most D3 colleges…and a Helluva lot more students. Good call on moving up Roncalli in my opinion. Young and improving…I think they are legit in 4A (without being able to unlock the the “riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in an enigma” that is the closed conference 4A SIAC teams until they come boiling out of the South) but, unfortunately, have the potential East Central Mount Everest to overcome.
  9. Yeah…on that crazy Facebook page some Dad was talking about how Northwood was going to take East Central apart at LOS just a couple of weeks ago,
  10. Maybe…..it’s been discussed at more length elsewhere here, though. EC is very much the favorite but besides Reitz and Memorial, Roncalli and New Pal have a potential shot as well. The winner in the South likely takes home all the marbles….like they generally have over the last several years.
  11. Columbus North 3 Chatard 28 Final Kind of a trap game for Chatard what with Saturday and Monday lost for practice to much of the team because of the 2-day Cathedral game and the JV game pushed back to Monday. CN played better than the score seems to show. Seemed to be a pretty young team.
  12. Yep....bust that conference up! Ooops! Actually I meant the SIAC, apologies. Long night at bingo for this athletic supporter...I'm still sweating.
  13. Good to hear from you Coach from one athletic supporter to another. Go Bombers! 2.0! 2.0!
  14. As a dirty, unwashed, stinking athletic supporter I take my opinions very seriously as well as my bourbon. Please leave "she who shall not be named" out of it.....since she's always my designated driver...including to Columbus North tomorrow....and, to my misfortune, picked me up tonight at the KofC (big bingo night for this athletic supporter).
  15. Well, Gonzo, not to make light of the subject...and intellectually, some consider me to be one of the great unwashed as regards my opinions and observations, which they often think stinks. Well, let me say "this about that*", as an unwashed athletic supporter that stinks, and I know we often chafe on some of you, I just want to be given my proper place at the crux of HS athletics. The rest of you can take a powder. *see Richard Milhous Nixon
  16. I daresay that I am an extremely sincere athletic supporter of HS sports, including football, but now find myself troubled by girl's Hot Dog wrestling (and bowling) or Hot Dog girls' wrestling (I get confused about this grammar stuff...you know me) and bowling. With that, based on what I'm seeing, I think we immediately need a 2.0 multiplier for girl's Hot Dog wrestling (or Hot Dog girl's wrestling...whichever Strunk and White call for....I defer). The IHSAA needs to get on this now! End the unfair girl's Hot Dog wrestling domination now! Who's with me? 2.0! 2.0!
  17. Dunno but I’d be interested in hearing from anyone who could inform us……….whoever that might be.
  18. I just thought I’d go long on dead and buried threads today…..since that seems to be the thing. Yeah 2019 Hot Dog Girl’s bowling! You go girls!
  19. Yep, it would be too much for them too consider just who you lost to. Not surprised.
