HHPatriots

I appreciate the words. Everyone on this end understands the buzzsaw we are running into.....the speech has already been given to shut out all the media and frankly those in the community that see it as an impossible feat. In 2019 the boys were being congratulated on a great season before the game in Indy was even played. They were defeated mentally before they got there. I'll steal one from the Gibson Southern playbook here...."IB".

We pulled a 7th grader up to play QB. Prepare accordingly.

Also a good possibility.

This is a totally different look, as BC coaches will clearly see, we have jettisoned the flexbone. That offense was put together for Cole Sigler, who was a special athlete that couldn't throw well. We dumped that offense. Jett is a dual threat 1000+ passer, 1000+ runner. Dangerous when you flush him. This is a different look than 2019. We still run the wishbone every now and then....some of old guys get a tear in the eye when they do. BUT THEY DON'T RUN IT AS WELL AS 25 YEARS AGO DADGUMIT! 🙂

Yeah, the fact that they went undefeated in the regular season isn't lost on anybody in Lincoln City. Yeah, we have a different look offensively than the old days.

Some would argue that if you put the 2000 team against the 2004 team, the 04 team would come out on top.

Some history between these 2, some one score heartbreakers with just one win by HH and before this digresses into another "this football game carries the stench of Rome" thread, lets look at the history: Heritage Hills 13-1 VS. Indianapolis Chatard 14-0 This is the 9th meeting between Heritage Hills and Chatard and the Trojans lead the series 7-1. The first meeting between these 2 schools was in the 1997 Regional, The next 6 meetings were in the South Semi State and this will be the 2nd meeting in the state finals. Heritage Hills lone victory in the series came in 2004, The Trojans came into that game as a heavy favorite and were the 3 time defending 3A state champs winning the title the previous 3 seasons. In that game Chatard led 10-0 after the first quarter, Heritage Hills added a Jace Morrison field goal in the 2nd quarter and trailed 10-3 at halftime. The Patriots had a long clock killing drive in the 3rd quarter and tied it up with 2:29 remaining in the 3rd on a Bryce Pund 2-yard touchdown run. Neither team was able to muster much offense in the 4th quarter before Jace Morrison kicked a 38-yard field goal with 8.3 sceonds left to seal the victory.

2014, Semi state vs Tri-West. Lost 14-6, TW won state that year. Of 11 Semi-state games, we have only hosted 4. Congrats to Gibson Southern on another great year. I am proud of these Patriots.....they are young and very hungry. On to Chatard....

So who knows if this will happen, but my son just sent me a text that a coach told him that they are expecting 10 - 12,000 tonight.

So I was just at the high school. All the grass is roped off. That is going to be a serious parking problem. T32--I guess they told all your people to park in the soccer lot????

I have heard "Welcome to the Jungle" twice today at work. Don't think I've heard the last of it today.....

First of all, this is what I said when I heard this. Secondly, your response is gold. See, this is the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

When the thought of the game itself is unbelievably boring, this is the thread you get.

Come on man! This is good stuff.

Ok, so this gets even better with this turf/grass issue.....I'm betting DeYoung's mom is concerned about mud on those pretty whites. It's ok, after all, DeYoung is the new guy.

First of all, we are supposed to be on the same side. Secondly, are you my mother? I used to get this crap all the time, as she was an English teacher....long since retired and still corrects me. I think I am actually more dumber after reading this. ******dragging knuckles and walking away********

Whomever has the ball last.....

As 32 said, we too are healthy enough that we have no excuse. Calling for rain Friday....are we in for a mud bowl?

South Spencer.....many don't know they played at that level consistently every year. They were one of the "Big 4" in the PAC back in those days.

Agreed! I'd love to watch him and Delong's dad go at it!

Indeed!!! If only we could imagine!

To go along with the recruiting talk, I guess GS is recruiting in the playoffs...that Deyoung kid is a good late season pick up. I mean, he is good enough to sit Delong on the bench.

And that is a wrap! Congrats to GS on a solid win. And that is 3 PAC teams in the semi state! Looking forward to next Friday in the Jungle!

Congrats to Heritage Hills on a Regional--#9 I believe. Also, congrats to Batesville on a great season. This was a game that didn't disappoint. Batesville is an excellent team. Line play was some of the best we have seen and that QB is an absolute menace. Batesville were great hosts, provided a great environment and obviously has great fans and support from the community. Thankful for a field goal kicker that can perform under pressure. By the way, that facility has changed a tad in the last 20 years--very nice!
