HHPatriots

HH/Apollo could be a good game this year....the fact that we graduated entire O and D lines along with all our linebackers could expose a weakness, or 10. They went into 2 OT with Murray last week, Murray is always good. Dunno what to think of this game this year.

Heritage Hills (0-0) @ South Spencer (0-0) This is the 56th meeting between Heritage Hills and South Spencer. HISTORY OF THE MATCHUP The Patriots lead the overall series 43-12. The 12 wins that South Spencer has over Heritage Hills is second to Southridge for the most wins of any opponent against the Patriots. South Spencer is one of only three teams that have been on the Patriot football schedule at least once, every year, since their inaugural season in 1972. Like many of the Patriot's opponents, the Rebels dominated the Patriots in the early days of the series winning 5 of the first 7 meetings. The Patriots went on to win 4 of the next 5 games to tie the series up at 6-6. The Rebels would regain the series lead 7-6 with an overtime win in 1984 and the series would remain tightly contested through the first 21 meetings. After a Rebel win in 1991, the Patriots led the series by a slim 11-10 margin. After that loss the Patriots won the next 19 meetings before the Rebels ended the streak with a 14-0 win in 2011. The Patriots have won 13 out of the last 14 games since the loss in 2011.

While I am not Catholic (Southern Baptist here), the overwhelming majority of our community is Catholic. Maybe you are on to something.

While I realize that we have to play them, it is such a waste of a week. It does nobody any good. Our county rivals are anything but rivals. Good news for us is that this is supposedly the last year we are playing ours....but they are no longer in the conference. Princeton should get in a different conference.

Who will be taking snaps for the Titans--Zach have a little brother? Pending us getting our lives together, I do believe we will be very competitive to win the sectional. Reitz will be tougher (I think) and Jasper is an unknown. Putting a running clock on Jasper on their field in sectional was one of the most fun games I have ever watched. They deserved all that beat down. But, there is a ton of football between now and then....if the draw puts us with Jasper, they will be out for blood. Other conference stuff....For Southridge--Luke Messmer will change things for the better being on Coach B's staff. I would bet that they will be bigger, stronger and faster with him on the staff.

Tyce Winchell has been the backup behind Jett. Unless something has changed, I'd say he is the guy, which is no secret. He was as fast as Jett, but doesn't have the size. Tyce is a great kid, humble, quiet, does his job and moves to the next play. He has been a gunslinger, which comes with good and bad. Fact is you can always come up with a skinny kid to run fast--that's never the problem. What is a problem and also no secret is that we graduated 5 veteran offensive lineman who also played DL. With all that said, we do have a secret, and it is kept about as well as the new head coach secret was kept. We are getting close. I don't know if we will have anything for the Titans this year, but I think we will be competitive. Kevin's first year at HC.....it was a rocky one for Todd in his first year, I'd say Kevin may have more to work with but losing generational talent won't help.

He really is, when we played them in sectional last season I'd say he was the fastest kid on the field that night. As a freshman last season he probably didn't weigh 120 lbs, but that didn't matter, he was hard to catch and very slippery. If he sticks with it, he could be very interesting when he puts some weight on.

It pretty much is indeed the worst kept secret. They tried to keep it on the down low, but that typically doesn't work well round here. I think it will be "official" next Monday.

Alex Bettag at Roncalli, who was previously at Southport is an example. But who wants to come back? Who knows?

Ok so since you did say the name....😀 Kevin is the natural choice, but he is the Vice Principle now. There was question when he became VP if he would even be able to continue as an assistant. His VP job could possibly stand in the way of being head coach. They made Alcorn quit as wrestling coach when he became an admin.

There is a likely guy, I'm not going to say that name, most know who that would be. Outside of him there are 2 other possibilities currently on the staff. I would say that this will be opened up to the outside and see what it attracts. Like you said, our new AD really doesn't want to screw this up. A 3 win season? Yeah, that may be success at Princeton but we have only had 3 or 4 losing seasons in 50 years. We all are aware of the expectation. I have my hope for who the next guy will be.....we will see.

You can show out as the best player on the team, but if the coach doesn't put you up for it, it doesn't happen.

Things can always change, but yes Tyce Winchell is the likely QB next year. Who, by the way, I thought did a stellar job for the disaster that he was thrown in the middle of. I agree, option game would make sense and be great. Great season indeed. Roncalli was alot.

I'm not sure that'll be the problem that it would normally be. The typical people that may have no dog in the fight will likely not want to sit in 45 degree rain. If my kid wasn't playing, I'd be watching from the couch.

You know, it seems odd to me that for the supposed #1 game in the state this weekend (according to the below) that there isn't more chatter about it. https://www.newsbreak.com/share/4353856182368-ranking-indiana-s-high-school-football-semistate-games-from-12-to-1?fbclid=IwdGRjcAOMVfhjbGNrA4xV62V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHmFrKbmvV8FdrpGeS07TdrezuDPLw728CoSJPClt1toK2jwYTkHZJYsVb9eW_aem_5smLjHzBkozTcJWUrom20A Nothing to say?

Last time we played, we won state in 2000 with Jay Cutler at the helm. I wonder if there are any parents of these Roncalli kids that played in that game??? There ARE parents of kids on HH team that played in that game in 2000.

THIS. You give coach Hart an extra day to prepare for a game, you may as well not even show up. QB1 or no QB1.

Indeed and correct me if I am wrong but i believe the Toth's own a home on Christmas Lake....seems like my son hung out there with some guys last year.

I know the numbers and the math and somebody told me this morning that Harrell has this as a 2 score game. While this may be where our roster size catches up with us, we certainly aren't going up there to lose. Everybody has counted us out...I'm really wondering how this matches up. We are the lone public school that is left in 4A. These young men will do their best to make the south proud. And hey, you only need 11 guys that want to play!

We have played Roncalli 1 time in semi-state in 2000 when we won state. They were the Rebels back then and they were 3A--they are a tad bigger now. I'll put up the graphic when I get it.

I think GS wins this one. Zach being out is an obvious problem, but personnel isn't a issue for Hart....dude can flat out coach--might be the best in the tri-state at his craft.

Is there nobody on here that is from Martinsville?

First time ever playing Martinsville...I know very little about them. Stay focused on the week and don't overlook. The Jungle should be pretty live Friday night. Weather will be spectacular. REGIONAL Championship HH vs Martinsville Friday, November 14th 7:00 pm CST @ Heritage Hills - The Jungle History Of The Matchup Martinsville (6-6) @ Heritage Hills (11-1) Heritage Hills - The Jungle Friday, November 14, 2025 7:00 pm CST Kickoff Patriot fans, get ready — The Jungle will be the place to be this Friday night as Heritage Hills hosts Martinsville in the 2025 Class 4A Regional Championship. The Patriots are averaging 50.08 ppg on offense and have allowed 9.67 ppg defensively, while the Artesians have scored 28.91 ppg and give up 33.33 ppg. It’s been a special season for the Patriots, filled with strong performances, a balanced offense, and a defense that’s stepped up when it mattered most. Now, with a regional title on the line, Heritage Hills faces a new challenge — the Martinsville Artesians, a program the Patriots have never played before. That unfamiliarity adds some extra excitement to an already big game. Our Patriots have been outstanding at home this year, and The Jungle has become a tough place for visiting teams to play, thanks to the energy and pride of the fans. Martinsville has proven itself as a resilient, battle-tested team capable of handling high-pressure situations. With both teams coming in strong, this first-ever meeting should make for a great matchup. For the Patriots, the key will be to stay grounded — focus on execution, stay disciplined, and keep doing the little things that have made this season so successful. If they continue to play with the same unity and effort that’s carried them all year, they’ll be right where they want to be. So come out, fill the stands, and help make The Jungle come alive for what promises to be an exciting night of playoff football. PACK THE JUNGLE this Friday to cheer for the RED, WHITE, & BLUE!

Depth. We keep hearing that and I would agree that there is a very good chance it will catch up with us at some point. If we win this Friday and I think we do, we will show up at SS with our 35ish guys against the 100+ of Roncalli. As for the Gibson Southern game....we would all like to have that one back. They were not where they needed to be mentally. The lead of that game changed 4 times in the last 8 minutes and down by 4 with literally 1.6 on the clock we had a chance and failed. Again...everyone wants that one back. With that said, GS will likely win 3A and frankly I hope that they do.
