He didn’t play last week which is gonna hurt his stats. Gonna be tough for him to overcome the weak conference competition since he probably won’t play in most second halves the rest of the season. They would need a deep tourney run for him to have a chance.

Merrillville has a date with HSE or Westfield at semi-state IMO

They were asked to leave. I think the Circle City would be a good spot for them for football. Play all 4 of those schools, 3 local non-conference games with West Lafayette, Harrison and McCutcheon. That leaves them 2 more games to play some other big boys across the state. Duneland would be a trek but still has to be worth not having 6 gimme-wins every year. But have to keep in mind this would affect all sports which would make it more difficult on sports like baseball and basketball to have to find a lot of more opponents to schedule

I agree, but just speaking theoretically where else would they even fit in at? They would at least be another competitive team in the HCC and it’s a 45-60 minute drive to all those schools which isn’t ideal but also not terrible. I know it’s most likely not going to happen but they need to go somewhere Lack of competitiveness had to be the main reason

Really wish Jeff could join a new conference because they need stronger competition badly, but i really just don’t see any options. The past 3 years they would probably fit right in the 4-5 spot in the HCC. They’ve taken down Westfield and Noblesville in sectionals recently and also played Carmel good 2 years ago, were even up 14-0 on them. Would be hard for them to be the only Lafayette school to leave the NCC. Harrison would probably be the the second worst HCC team this year ahead of Franklin Central (could maybe beat Noblesville but i doubt it) and McCutcheon is just a lost cause at this point. Really nowhere for them to go, but they have surely made themselves a reputable opponent in the past 5 years

Cathedral 31 Carmel 24 No hate on Carmel but Irish with a huge statement last week. Can’t wait to watch this one tonight

They’re second to the back to back 5a champs (who Valpo lost to in their last game) by 7 points/votes. Relax.

Still 20-6 LJ heading to 4th. West Side having a lot of trouble moving the ball, not sure they have more than 120 yards. Jeff definitely has left some points on the field, their D-line has been dominant

What’s everyone’s thoughts on this game? Both teams lose some significant players from last year. WL obviously still has the best player on the field in Yanni but lose a D1 D-lineman along with their record breaking QB and best WR. Jeff lost their leading rusher, top 2 leading receivers and starting QB to transfer but bring back two D1 D-lineman. Game was supposed to be played @ WL but switched to Jeff’s field because they have been approved to hold 1500 fans opposed to 500. Cannot see another 74-66 game with these teams breaking in new QB’s. Both defenses will be good, not sure about the offenses. Jeff got to scrimmage Pike last week while WL’s was cancelled with Harrison. I will take Jeff 35-27

I really think West Lafayette is going to face a strong falloff here soon. I think they will still be the best team in the Hoosier conference this year but they will have many close games. Word on the street is their numbers have been way down in 7th and 8th grade recently and may not have some of the top tier talent they’ve had the past 5-10 years. I’ll never doubt Coach Fry and his staff without seeing them perform but I just can’t see them being as good as they’ve been recently even with Yanni. Guess we will see week 1 against Jeff
