HHPatriots

If nothing else, I want this tournament played out of shameless selfishness. I want Bishop Chatard out of 3A. I am tired of that nonsense. It is likely that they will dominate 4A just as 3A....they certainly would have won 4A last year. I know...no excuses, you have to find a way to win until the rules are changed.....but at least we can have them exit 3A. It does look like whoever comes out of our 32 will have the privilege of getting destroyed by Chatard though. I'm not totally discounting Lawerenceburg and Danville against 32....I just believe their are 2 teams in 32 that could likely have that opportunity.

Yeah, 400+ yards on the ground....I'd like to see a run offense from them as well. 🙄

Totally different indeed....we have played much of this season with a junior and 3 sophomores in the backfield. That isn't to take anything away from them, they have done the best they can, and they are good. It is just difficult when you are 15 years old going against a man. I have heard that these kids have learned their lesson with this stupid covid tracing and many of them are sitting in the floor in the corner of the classrooms so they don't breach 6 foot of anyone for 15 minutes or whatever it is that the CDC is saying today. I think the team that will be different is GS. Defense has improved exponentially.

@MoonshinersI'd say that is all reasonable. Gibson Southern might pull off a surprise. GS is better than a 20 point loss to SR (first game). We were even within 20 points of Southridge. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that GS will win this sectional. I watched Southridge beat the snot out of us last week and what I came away with is that they are crazy fast. Impressive speed. If Colson Montgomery was still playing they would likely be contenders to get themselves crushed by the DII college of Bishop Chatard at Lucas.

This nonsense of COVID changes every 15 minutes so who knows. I am sick of this and there is no foreseeable end to it. If we are still dealing with this ridiculousness next year I think I will lose my mind. Game will be at the Jungle.

I wasn't glad because I knew they wouldn't get any non conference games. Jasper has killed it in the SIAC. Playing in the SIAC, is like playing in the SEC, you get beat on week after week, not like playing in the PAC or Big 8. Jasper has exceeded everybody's expectations and this should really prepare them for sectionals year after year.

It was all good fun...we loved to beat Jasper. For a game that didn't matter at the end of the season, it always seemed to be the game that mattered the most. The last game we played last year was a must win, we couldn't have that coach being the one Jasper football coach with a winning record against HH. Seriously, I am going to miss playing you guys.

I wish Southridge was playing Jasper this year. I always love to see Jasper get beat, especially when it is by us or Southridge! Sadly, no more....

And yet again, the folks in the central time zone don't matter.

I wish it could have worked out that they played Tell City. They will blow out Princeton. That is weird when you say it out loud.

Indeed....can't be. That was to be their homecoming and senior night. It will have to be normal time.

Indeed. I don't think any of us thought we would be here in the season or even be in school. It is great.

We run wishbone and flexbone and occasionally a pro set, but our main offense is technically an option offense.

I mean nothing against the Marksmen here. They have a great team, probably the best team they have had in 30 years. BUT, Southridge is playing at a level far higher. Tell City has yet to play a point producing team, Southridge is battle proven. Again, I'm not downplaying TC when I say that they probably won't score more than once. With that said, I do think it will be the only game that Tell City looses and I think they will give Mater Dei a game in sectional, at least I hope they do.

Mockville HH (I can't go against the Patriots, this game may be closer than people think) SR--this may go to a running clock early in the 4th quarter FP NK NP Flip a coin...Washington?

SR--DBs will pass the test, maybe--this will be close HH--we are getting in the groove Boonvegas--Mockaboys running wild MV by 800 Wash SS in a close one TC by a bunch--Go Marksmen! Got friends and family in TC, they are loving this...they need to enjoy it, because it may not last long. I am loving it for them.

I spoke to a Southridge coach that I work with and he said that capacity is right around 4000....indeed....50%. Why not just go to capacity. I am actually thinking of going to the SR/GS game. We are only getting 250 tickets from NP and I don't want to take one from football/cheer family....mine graduated last year.

Mockabee is likely the best athelete in Southern Indiana, and now the leading rusher in the NATION...at least for now. BUT, I can't help but to think that the real story from last night is the fact that he did that but Brady and company still found a way to win. That is impressive. I wish they were both going to Purdue.

MV offense is mediocre. Their defense is pretty good. Watch #78.

Indeed. Having a bunch of family/friends in Tell City that is what I hear all the time. Tell City wants to go back to the success of years past--of course, who wouldn't, but they think they can get it in one year. It takes time. My father in law (who is 83) is always surprised to hear when Tell City is beat at anything, he always says, "Back in my day, nobody beat Tell City. If you beat them, you have done something" A little context--he played basketball for Chrisney High School. I'm happy for Tell City, I hope they keep this going. Great win Friday night, congrats. By the way Eric Hendrickson (TC OC Coach) was mowing his grass this past weekend with his Marksman shirt on and a big smile on his face--he lives in Christmas lake village--gotta love that.

Well, as you know it doesn't work like that, but yeah....more or less. We have a real mess to clean up if we are going to come out of this season with more than 3 wins. Graduation happens every year and can't be the excuse. 'Rona can't be the excuse. We lost a veteran coach can't be the excuse. Excuses have to stop--find a way to win.

Just a guess, and I may revise this in a couple weeks, but if I were guessing, SR beats TC by 4 scores. Maybe more.

This is an excellent point, but at the end, I still say play the game. Run what you brung and find a way to win.

Yeah, but graduation happens every year. Everyone got the same ridiculous offseason. This is Patriot football, the expectation is higher than losing at the Jungle in your home opener and then getting blanked by TC. I'm not a casual observer--I have poured quite a bit of time, blood, sweat and tears into this program over the years. We need to do better.

Yes, we were down at least 4. Stupid thing is, I don't think any of them actually had it, but were exposed. I am tired of this nonsense. As for HH football, that can't matter. Suck it up, and find a way to win. Don't hang your head. I am not sure they ever had an intention to win. Attitude is terrible right now. This team needs a leader.
