    exactly.  I am not about to sit here and pretend my Miners would be 8-0 playing Mater Dei's schedule.  We would have trouble with the constant size, speed and depth just as we do with MD every year.  We have hung with them...but then they get up a couple and we fight uphill.  Losses by 19, 24 and 17 last year.  We cannot have the type of start we did at Reitz Bowl lol... and honestly the defense did a decent job in 2019... but down 30-0 in the 1st half... Interception return TD on play 1, punt return TD, blocked Punt Safety... eesh it was a nightmare.  but the total yardage was 255 to 240 MD.  Last year we just could not cover them...and again.. down 37-0.   2018 at least was 7-7 for awhile til the 'Cats ran off 31 straight points and Linton lost 40-21.   Honestly, I don't think in any of the games we have managed to do much positive offensively.  Most all of Linton's points come in the closing minutes against younger players.  I do think this is Linton's best chance....if we can close out Tell City... but I also understand MD was young last year, and most of the same cast is back this year and better.   

    Again, honestly... schedule wise.. who would Mater Dei expect to lose to on our Schedule?  Indeed Southridge has been neck n neck with the Wildcats... and NO I haven't seen anyone other than the Raiders beat the Wildcats in Sect 40.. at least as long as MD has been in 2A I think starting 2009 going 33-3 in Sec 40 play.  As for Linton or anyone else in Sect 40 playing MD's schedule?  Well...I think Central, North and Reitz are down compared to normality... but even so these are pretty big tasks for small 2A.   As for Castle, Memorial and Jasper... those would be monumental wins for my Miners to pull off.  We have scrimmaged Bosse for several years, and hold our own but still have trouble with the speed factor, and I assume Harrison would be same issues.  I mean... I know my Miners would not back down from any opponent, and I know they would go in believing they could win on any night.  But i think week in and out against bigger and faster and more depth always catches up to the small school.  And this doesn't just apply to Linton.. same thing with North Posey, Tell City, North Knox.... course I can't say that with Southridge...because they have shown they can beat MD.    

    Not to get into the numbers game... but clearly Mater Dei will field double the players in many cases with the other S40 teams.  When you watch their entire o-line being coached up while the defense is on the field, you can see the advantage of numbers, and one way players.  You know there are guys who could start at any S40 team who are back-ups at MD.  And many times it's just that play makers make the plays.  Ryan Taylor last year made 2 leaping catches that we had defended well...and they were big plays in how the game turned out.  But as has been said a bunch already... We, and anyone, just has to match that talent and play-making.  It's 11 on 11 on any given play.  We've had kids make plays all year, and should we see MD, we would be at home for the 3rd of our 4 meetings...so that excuse can't be used.  You just can't let up for a single play or boom... 7 zip.  and injuries too... that plays a big part come this time of year.

    But again.... Linton cannot be thinking past Tell City.  And honestly right now it's South Putnam on the agenda... and this is going to be a really good challenge from what I see of the Eagles.  

     

    Going back to 1994 Mater Dei has been in 2A sectional 40 22 times. The only sectional team they have lost to is Southridge 6 times.

    Per the IHSAA from an email I read about another crew. You do not have to have a 90% to get a first round sectional if you meet all other qualifications. You just won't have that member if you advance to second round. I was surprised by that from the IHSAA.

    On the voting, I think coaches should have three days to vote on their recent crew following the game they did. With all the technology that could easily be done. When they submit their film they do a quick vote. Too many coaches either don't vote or forget. Some schools the ADs vote and get no input from the coach others, the coach just doesn't vote. There should be a penalty for coaches who do not vote for anyone good or bad.

     

    My question it says you must get 10 school votes. I have been told a "1" is not good. But is a "1" better than a no vote when counting towards the ten?

    All schools that play in the sectional have voted, it is called the coaches vote, and it should be the coaches but some AD's vote instead.  This is from the IHSAA winter Bulletin:

    IX Entry List A. A school must certify all players on the sectional entry list but dress only 75 eligible players at each level of tourney. B. Member schools entering the football tournament series shall submit their entries to the IHSAA electronically at www.myihsaa.net. The entry is due no later than 4:00 p.m. Friday, October 11, 2019, without penalty. Member schools eligible to participate in the football tournament series may enter their team only after successful completion of the contest officials’ rating process. Failure to rate officials shall result in a $100 penalty to the school prior to their entry list being accepted.

    I wasn’t at the game so I have no context.  If it was 77-0 at half then maybe there is some shred of dignity which could be preserved.  But this score is 9 points from national news and LB coach and AD both being in hot water… and they probably should be. No excuse for this imo.  Take a knee.  I’m now the biggest Gibson Southern fan in the state.  Hope the throttle LB by 50.

            Fil
    Lawrenceburg 70 14 0 7 91
    Rushville 0 0 0 12 12

     

    How bout 70 in the first quarter and another 14 in the 2nd?
