Agreed, the non-conference schedule is awful. It is unfortunate that we couldn't get a 2 year deal with CAL, they are ranked #2 overall in KY this year. We have a new AD, maybe this will improve. Apollo was an improvement but Catholic or Owensboro would have been better if we are going to Owensboro.

I could be wrong but I think his post is thick with sarcasm.

I'll start by saying that Heritage Hills needs some adversity...this is the week for it, Harrell has the Pats losing this game by 4--SEE BOTTOM OF POST. Rankings are IFCA from week 4. I'll post the cool graphic later in the week for our graphically jealous Memorial friends. Heritage Hills 5-0 (3-0 PAC) at Gibson Southern 4-1(2-0 PAC) Heading into week 5 Heritage Hills was ranked 1st in all 3 polls in 4A and Gibson Southern was ranked 2nd in the IFCA and 4th in the USA & AP polls in 3A. History This is the 54th meeting between Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern and the Patriots lead the series 36-17, The Patriots also faced three teams that consolidated into Gibson Southern in the 1972 and 1973 seasons and went 0-2 VS. Fort Branch, 1-1 VS. Haubstadt and 2-0 VS. Owensville. In the first season of Patriot football the Patriots went 9-1 and their only loss was a 15-12 defeat by Fort Branch. The Titans won the first 3 meetings in the series beating Roger Snow’s Patriots in 1974, 75 and 76 and the Patriots didn’t beat them for the first time until 1977 the year Bob Ashworth became the Patriots head coach, that season was hall of famer Bob Claytons only season as Offensive Coordinator at Heritage Hills the following season Ashworth moved onto Evansville Reitz and Clayton took over the Heritage Hills program. The Patriots have won the past 3 meetings, and the Titans have won 13 of the last 22 meetings starting with a win in 2010 that snapped the Patriots streak of 21 straight wins over the Titans. Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern have played 5 overtime games in the series including a 7-0 five overtime affair in 1982. 1974 Gibson Southern 27 HH 6 1975 Gibson Southern 16 HH 0 1976 Gibson Southern 26 HH 0 1977 HH 16 Gibson Southern 0 1978 HH 28 Gibson Southern 8 1979 HH 20 Gibson Southern 0 1980 HH 21 Gibson Southern 15 OT 1981 HH 14 Gibson southern 12 1982 HH 7 Gibson Southern 0 in 5 overtimes 1983 Gibson Southern 22 HH 21 (OT) 1984 HH 7 Gibson Southern 0 1986 Sectional HH 13 Gibson Southern 7 1989 Sectional HH 34 Gibson Southern 13 1993 HH 32 Gibson Southern 7 1994 HH 33 Gibson Southern 19 1995 HH 54 Gibson Southern 14 1996 HH 20 Gibson Southern 3 1997 HH 42 Gibson Southern 6 1998 HH 32 Gibson Southern 12 1999 HH 54 Gibson Southern 0 2000 HH 63 Gibson Southern 0 2001 HH 40 Gibson Southern 23 2001 Sectional HH 28 Gibson Southern 7 2002 Heritage Hills 63 Gibson Southern 6 2003 Heritage Hills 42 Gibson Southern 0 2004 Heritage Hills 48 Gibson Southern 7 2005 Heritage Hills 19 Gibson Southern 7 2006 Heritage Hills 14 Gibson Southern 13 overtime 2007 Heritage Hills 27 Gibson Southern 10 2008 Heritage Hills 49 Gibson Southern 21 2009 Heritage Hills 41 Gibson Southern 0 2010 Gibson Southern 35 Heritage Hills 34 (1OT) 2011 Heritage Hills 27 Gibson Southern 0 2012 Gibson Southern 14 Heritage Hills 10 2013 Gibson Southern 50 Heritage Hills 26 2014 Heritage Hills 38 Gibson Southern 33 2014 sectional H Hills 14 Gibson Southern 13 2015 Gibson Southern 42 Heritage Hills 13 2016 Gibson Southern 38 Heritage Hills 10 2017 Gibson Southern 48 Heritage Hills 7 2018 Heritage Hills 31 Gibson Southern 7 2018 sectional Gibson Southern 24 Heritage Hills 14 2019 Heritage Hills 49 Gibson Southern 14 2019 sectional Heritage Hills 21 Gibson Southern 20 2020 Gibson Southern 38 Heritage Hills 0 2020 Gibson Southern 21 Heritage Hills 10 2021 Gibson Southern 42 Heritage Hills 3 2021 sectional Gibson Southern 42 Heritage Hills 7 2022 Gibson Southern 32 Heritage Hills 14 2023 Gibson Southern 31 Heritage Hills 28 2023 semi state Heritage Hills 23 Gibson Southern 20 2024 Heritage Hills 28 Gibson Southern 0 2024 sectional Heritage Hills 35 Gibson Southern 18 Pre-consolidation 1972 Heritage Hills 27 Haubstadt 6 1972 Fort Branch 15 Heritage Hills 12 1972 Heritage Hills 34 Owensville 6 1973 Haubstadt 7 Heritage Hills 6 1973 Fort Branch 14 Heritage Hills 0 1973 Heritage Hills 12 Owensville 0

who will Memorial pick up for their non-conference game?

It means "Catholic" in the sense that the kids that go there are actually catholic kids from catholic families--like Memorial. Unlike other P/P schools. It isn't a shot at anyone local. Again, as I said, if I woke up tomorrow in metro Evansville, I'd likely send my kid to one of those P/P and they are not Catholic kids from Catholic families, and I'd even hope my (current) senior could find a place on the football team. Originally it was just a comment that to call MD the Catholic Cats is not saying much when the overwhelming majority of Jasper is Catholic. That's all, again, no shot at anyone local.

"Catholic Cats"---I'm not sure which one you mean. It is Dubois County after all. With that said, I've always felt that Mater Dei is legitimately Catholic. But I digress. If I lived in the middle of Evansville right now, my kids would either go to Memorial or MD. I'm Baptist. 🙂

If I was a betting man, I'd say there was a discussion about Washington, what to do, what to not do, and that we have moved to prepping for next Friday against GS. Honestly, these boys need some adversity in their lives.....

Indeed, huge gain for them. He was great for us but Southridge is home for him, nobody blames him for going back. Mount Vernon did well with him for the short time they had him as well.

I'll stick up for Southridge as there are many people that are very dear to me in Huntingburg....I root for them every week but week 4. My son is even close friends with the QB (Justin Leathers), at least until Friday. They have a very young team, they lack size and as stated by jets, numbers. Experienced talent is there, but that number is just a few. Give them a couple years, Coach B will get them back on track. With that said, they may suck in the regular season and may even have a very out of character losing season, but I don't think I would sleep on them in the sectional. 9 weeks may be just what Coach B needs to right the ship. But for now, the next 2 Friday nights are likely going to suck for them. Go Raiders! Except for 9/12....

And here I thought you guys were the literate ones.

What's up with Reitz? Barely squeezes by VL and beat by a Jasper team that is certainly not their best. I thought Reitz was really going to be something this year.

Indeed. What is the purpose? This is an excellent question. Nobody that I know thinks it is smart. A friend at South Spencer told me that they find this utterly ridiculous as well...."how many times do we have to hear that stupid train horn Friday night?" I heard thru the grapevine that this is the last year. I hope so. Most of us would rather lose a game having our weaknesses exposed so we can learn rather than beating a team like SS 56-0. As you said, it helps nobody. With all that said, 20 - 25 years ago this was a great rivalry. Now it is just awful. Hopefully the rumors are true and this is the last year. With that said: HH vs SOUTH SPENCER Friday, August 22nd 7:00 pm CDT Kickoff @ Heritage Hills - The Jungle History Of The Matchup South Spencer (0-0) @ Heritage Hills (0-0) Heritage Hills High School - The Jungle Friday, August 22, 2025 7:00 pm CDT Kickoff This is the 55th meeting between Heritage Hills and South Spencer. The Patriots lead the overall series 42-12. 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 12 out of the last 13 games since the loss in 2011.  PACK THE JUNGLE this Friday to cheer for the RED, WHITE, & BLUE!

Yes. That is Varsity Roster, includes Sophomore - Senior. Not a terribly uncommon number for us.

I did not--I was at work. My wife was there. My son said they were wore out....said FC had well over 100 kids on the roster (we have 38) and they were calling in squads every few plays--fresh guys. I told him it builds character. 🙂 Did you see it?

I'm hoping we can get the Jasper/HH rivalry back. Not sure that is going to happen though.....

There is some truth there, but he supposedly went back to Georgia. It is a convoluted, nonsensical story...it's over now. Thankfully. We are all moving on with life in Lincoln City.

I agree....I think. I was speaking more to numbers on the roster and players having to play both ways. Pending big injuries I think you are right. What you have said we have all said but as always, got to stay healthy.

Additionally, it is hard for many at the big schools to think about the fact that our QB will also likely be one of our top 3 tacklers.

Understand when I say "most of those teams haven't heard of us", I mean the children. I would say that most 17 year olds at Merrilville have no clue who Heritage Hills is. Agreed, any person who claims any knowledge at all about Indiana high school football should know who we are, and likely probably knows who Bob Clayton is. 5A/6A football is a different world when it comes to numbers. The only 3A program I know that gets numbers like that is Chatard. Chatard has been successful for many reasons, one being their 320 lb guard isn't a DT as well....

I understand, but there is a gaping chasm between 3A and 4A....that will be tested this year as we move to 4A. If we can make it out of sectional, and stay healthy, we will see what happens when our 280+ lb two way players play guys that not only have fresh legs but backups to boot. We got a little taste yesterday against a 5A in a scrimmage. They were putting out fresh guys every 5 plays or so, our guys went the distance. We have I think 38 on the varsity roster--they had over 100. I tell my son that it is good for him--builds character.

I would venture a guess that 90% of the teams on that list have never even heard of us.

Heritage Hills, Goldsberry Ole Miss, Ruxer Oklahoma

Of course that is this year while they are still at Heritage Hills....I'm sure they will be watching that game together and it turn into a bit of a thing. 2026 when they will be on campus? Who knows, that isn't released yet...but again, red shirt possibility.
