You’re still talking about this… ?

Hyperbole? Umm no. Postseason success carries much more weight. The upper half of the SEC has carried the conference name for 2+ decades, no different here. No one denies that the HCC has closed the gap, but until one of its members breaks through and wins a state title, they’re going to be judged as such. Not a hard concept really.

Teams that typically have “off nights” don’t seem to advance in November. Seems to be a theme with Brownsburg.

Heard this the last 4-5 years. A legitimate HCC team isn’t losing to a 4-5 Ben Davis team that hasn’t beaten a team with a winning record. Talk up the HCC all you want, wins in November count for more than August.

What else needs to be said? Where’s HSE? Where’s Brownsburg? The HCC is going to be judged in November not August. We’re all waiting… Westfield the great hope

Ben Davis played phenomenally well tonight. No questions asked. But if Brownsburg can’t beat a 4-5 BD team they handled earlier this year…then when?

I’m here most nights if you haven’t caught on. I’ll start charging soon.

Westfield doesn’t play a soul until they get to LOS. If they play the Trojans within two TD’s they’ll get my stamp of approval. Brownsburg flat choked this year. You can only be the undefeated national champions of August so many times before people start to take notice. Their time has come and gone.

That’s why I said it’s more of an indictment on Brownsburg and the HCC. Ben Davis isn’t special.

Ben Davis hadn’t beat a soul until tonight. Simply put, this is a below average Ben Davis team. There is no sugarcoating it. If Brownsburg was ever going to break through, this was their night. They didn’t bother to show up. Center Grove will beat this BD team by 30 points next week.

A win next week would change that. They play in arguably the weakest pound for pound sectional in the state. Tonight was their first win against a team with a winning record all year.

An indictment on the HCC. This 4-5 Ben Davis team isn’t very good. But alas, per @temptation the HCC is bound to take over the world.

Still waiting on the HCC….

Roncalli hasn’t beaten their rival they’ve ducked in 15 years and lost in a watered down 4A. Sucks to suck @StatQueen See ya in 3 years when you’re relevant again. Good win Irish.

Over/Under number of games played in the renewed Cathedral/Roncalli series before Roncalli bails? I'll put it at 2.5.

To be fair, it was another troll on this board who started the thread titled, "Game of the Century", not anybody from Cathedral.

Based on the post from the other thread, sounds like there was a Cathedral player who played multiple non-special team plays in the varsity game (it was stated 6 out of 53 plays) and played in the JV game the following morning.

I totally get the reason for the rule, it is all about safety. The spirit of the rule is to prevent an underclassmen from playing 20-30 snaps as a rotation player and then turning around and playing a full 50-60 snaps in a JV game the next morning. That's why the rule is implemented and in place. However, the letter of the law really contradicts the point of emphasis on player safety. By rule, you could have a sophomore appear on every special teams unit (kick-off/kick-off return/punt/punt return/Extra Point) and potentially play 25 plays a game. If said player doesn't appear on any regular down aside from special teams, said player is theoretically available to play an entire JV game the next morning. By the same letter of the rule, your back up QB (who serves as the regular JV QB) could be forced to play a down in the 2nd quarter because the starting QB has an equipment malfunction and then later on in the game with his team up 56-0, comes in and kneels the ball three times. The letter of rule theoretically states the JV QB is now only eligible to play in 2 JV quarters the following day. Common sense tells you the point of emphasis on player safety is completely disregarded. How is it acceptable for a kid that plays 25 special teams down be available for an entire JV game while another kid who handed the ball off one time in one quarter and kneeled three consecutive times in another quarter can only play two quarters? It makes no sense. I don't know specifically what happened in the CG/Cathedral JV game, but seems that common sense was lost and had left the building.

A Cathedral JV player played 5 varsity (non-special teams) snaps in the Friday night game against Center Grove spanning more than one quarter and then played in the JV game the following Saturday morning, which was also the last game of the JV season. By rule it's not allowed and Center Grove addressed the issue. As to why he's upset? Who knows, dude likely just needs a better hobby.

Me either. You wouldn't catch me dead running up and down a court blowing a whistle.

This ^^^ Sun will still come up the next day. God knows it did two years ago.

I think they took over on downs with a little over two minutes left, and Cathedral was calling TO's to try and stop them.

I don't fault CG for scoring there. They mathematically couldn't have run out the clock and it was still only a one score game. Don't like it, stop them.

Because Brebeuf scored 2 garbage TD's late against the 3rd team and Brebeuf is significantly better than New Pal. 41-7 Cathedral.

Gotta score 3 TD's to win by 3 TD's. Think they'd need to play this game 2-3 times for that to happen
