HHPatriots

STC, you will want to go to Ron's Place. They have excellent pizza also.

Good grief. I was afraid you were so devastated after we destroyed you in 2019 that you would never return.... Just kidding....glad to see you are alive!

This is so confusing...I see Spencer, Patriots and now "Welcome to the Jungle"....

the funniest part about it is that he is on the coaching staff!

I have nothing but compliments for that team. Kids, coaching staff, the entire machine...even that traitor Sam Collins...just kidding love Sam. True, bigger doesn't always mean stronger, speed is key and SR has it.

I haven't seen Lawrenceburg play. I have seen Southridge play twice. What I can tell you is that we (Heritage Hills) are a decent team and they absolutely man handled us. We were bigger and stronger than them at virtually every position and they still torched us--twice. Players to watch? 11 of them. They are all fast, very well coached and extremely disciplined. Excellent team. I am rooting for them to roll this all the way to Lucas Oil to have their opportunity to get beat by Chatard (I wish it would work out the other way, but it won't). Now that we are out, GO RAIDERS!

Indeed, STC ought to be making an appearance. Anyway, congrats to the Raiders. They have got an excellent team. Now, go represent the PAC and southwest IN well! Somebody needs to, between HH and GS we have only won 2 sectionals between us both in the last 5 years (1 a piece).

this is the first time in school history that Pike Central has been in the final. My guess is that they lose by a bunch, but you never know. Probably a running clock.....however, I would love to see them win.

Nobody said that it was--there was nothing assumed.

I totally feel this. It seems like the 3 of us do a pretty good job of upending each others hopes and dreams.

I will add that while it will take a miracle for OV to lose Friday against Pike Central, I think they will have some trouble with a (likely) Danville team. I would love to see Pike Central win...it would be their first sectional in history. They have NEVER played this many games in a season in school history.

I hope we find out, but that will be semi state. The winner of our game will play the winner of Lawrenceburg/Batesville.

The "For the Record" stuff. This is a very appropriate game for these 2 to meet in the sectional final. The oldest rivals in the PAC and historically speaking, the top 2 teams in the PAC. Our record against Southridge is 38 - 16 which makes them our closest competition over the last 50 years. It has been a bit more even over the last 10 years. None of that matters this Friday....this should be a slobberknocker and look a little different than the first one earlier in the season. Southridge is an extremely well coached, disciplined team that is crazy fast at virtually every position. Heritage Hills has improved since the last time they played, the question is, how much have they improved?? Should be a great environment in the jungle Friday night.

I too expect this to be a close game. With that said, Southridge is scary good. After seeing Southridge and Gibson Southern both play, I was surprised that that game wasn't much closer. Southridge is fast at seemingly every spot and very disciplined. We played better on the line against Charlestown than we had all year. We will need to play even better this week....Charlestown was a good team, Southridge is excellent.

Pike Central had a good run in 1986 (I think), and they actually won the PAC--this is the only thing they have ever won any kind of anything in football and I believe they have only been in the semifinal twice in school history. Being in the final is a first. In 1986 they lost to us in the first round, I believe it was 20-0 or something like that.

Indeed. It doesn't seem like it has been 7 years since we last played. I am looking forward to what I'm hoping will be an excellent game. It appears you all have a solid team this year.

The one loss we had against them in 2015 was unfortunate. We were up pretty big, controversial call.....blah, blah..... The bigger problem was that Kenton Crews was sick in that game and hacking his guts up in the huddle. Dude was not well. All in the past, need to focus on Friday and getting the W. I want a rematch against Southridge in the Jungle.

Isn't he at Kentucky now? I believe he graduated last year. Indeed, I saw that and also found it a bit odd.

How would the OV offense compare to Southridge, in your opinion?

That is what most think will do the trick against GS, but it won't work. GS needs about 45 seconds to score, I'll say it again, they are fine with you burning the clock between punts. Against GS it is defense and bringing pressure on Boyd. If you can't win at the line, you won't win. D-Line has to be 110% and your DBs have to be good--not necessarily fast, but they need to spent some time watching film. GS routes are excellent--you don't have to be crazy fast if you are a great route runner.

At the half I believe it will be close. At the end, this could be 3 or 4 scores. OV is a good team. BUT, good and elite are two vastly different things. Coach Hart will man handle these guys by the end.

Controlling the clock would be great if GS didn't force you to punt and then they take all of 45 seconds to score. I believe they are totally fine with you running clock off before you punt.

Yeah, it could mean that or it could be a despicable act that is intended to be degrading. 🤷‍♂️ I always have to ask my son what these things mean....in context, I got a pretty good idea on this one. I thought this game would be close, after this, it may be a blow out. Pun intended?

Yeah, I have talked to my wife about trying to build one to travel....
