Boilernation

I was reading Yappi this morning and it sounds like Moe looked awful as well in their scrimmage against Springfield last week. Still, it's impressive for a smaller (male vs. male enrollment) Cathedral to shut out a GCL-South team.

A little fun fact regarding H-F. Their coach, Craig Buzea, has never beaten Penn. he racked up a lot of L’s against the Kingsmen while coaching Portage.

Valpo is too low. Their D is too good to keep them out of the top 10.

Well, if that’s not a stereotypical “Purdue loss,” I don’t know what. It’s year 3 and the honeymoon is over. Brohm is making too much cash to be blowing 31-14 lead midway through the 2nd half. I would not be surprised if Sindelar eventually loses QB1 to one of the younger guys. He’s a complete liability. I would expect a 1st year starter to throw that ridiculous pick with 1 minute left.

Cincinnati St. X 38 Brownsburg 17 4 min left in 4th. St. X ball. Brownsburg led 17-16 at the half. Agree. He definitely doesn’t play like a Soph.

Not only that, seemed like Carroll QB might have been down before the fumble. Both the fumble and recovery looked like 50/50 calls live.

Crucial missed PAT. Saw it live on Summit City Sports.

Brownsburg offense has died in the 2nd half. 31-17 St. X. Early 4th quarter.

I knew Valpo was big on the lines with 2 or 3 D1 recruits scattered across both lines, but they looked huge on film. You can catch their game against Penn on ihsaatv.org. Their O-Line was pushing Penn around with ease. The big Jr. DE, Cooper Jones, will likely follow in his dads footsteps and play at ND if offered. Supposedly, Ohio State has already offered.

Highland, Indiana, the town that spawned the greatest troll in gridiron digest history and the GM who ruined Andrew Luck’s career.

From the limited action I saw, NC doesn’t have a QB who can throw the balk at this point. The starter had 3 INT’s in the 1st half.

Any correlation to the arrival of certain ex players?

I had a gut feeling Carmel would lose, but 42-14 to a team they beat last year? Didn’t see that coming with all of the talent Carmel has. Great opening week for the HCC! Franklin Central throttling Decatur Central was a eye opening to the depth in the HCC.

Cathedral’s lines are very big. Completely controlled the game on both sides. D line created a lot of opportunities for the LB’s and S to come up and make clean hits.

Any SW Indiana fans know the meaning behind Alices for Vincennes? I'm a big fan of nicknames that hold meaning to an area. Speedway Sparkplugs (Pretty Obvious) Whiting Oilers (massive Oil Refinery on Lake Michigan in Whiting) Hobart Brickies (I've heard there used to be a large brickyard in Hobart) Floyd Central Highlanders (I'm guessing it has to do with being on high ground overlooking the Ohio River and Kentucky Noblesville Millers (Old Mill plant in Noblesville) LaPorte Slicers (Meat Slicing Manufacturer)

For Morton, 5'11 JR WR JoJo Johnson and 6'2 JR DE Dierre Kelly both have multiple MAC offers. 6'2 SR Credell Prather is the QB. He should get picked up by someone. I know he visited Marian early in August. I definitely agree with your comments regarding Coach Kinsey bringing exposure to the Gov program.

@Gipper Why is Chesterton Second City? Is that in reference to Valpo being the 1st Porter County city? I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're not a big Russ Radtke fan. No offense to an outstanding Mishawaka program, but it's going to be a long season for the Red Indians if the Cavemen beat them that badly.

Very true. Can the young Pettit sling the ball around? Ha! Lafayette Jeff has to be licking their chops at the prospect of seeing 3 Duneland teams and not Carmel in their Sectional.

I’ll give the nod to Valpo as Top Dog. Curious to see how City bounces back after losing some solid offensive production. Valpo’s D is going to strangle the conference. Speaking of D, Crown Point’s supposedly looked really good against Penn. They have really good size on the D-Line. I agree about Merrillville. This could be a breakout year for them. That large OT going to Minnesota is going to open up a lot of running room. I think Portage will have a average at best season. Lost all of their offensive output and a lot of defensive starters. LaPorte is a wildcard with the new coach. LC and Cheesetown will bring up the rear. Week 1: Merrillville over Andrean by 10 Hobart over Chesterton by 13 Crown Point over Lowell by 6 City over Griffith by 31 Munster over LC by 3 NP over LaPorte by 7 Valpo over Penn by 7 Mishawaka over Portage by 15

Is Rodney a New Pal fan in disguise trying to “Lou Holtz” the Dragons?

I’m assuming he’s from Lake Central as I don’t recognize him as a Portage Indian. Did he start for LC? LC wouldn’t lose players to Andrean and Chicago Mt. Carmel if they could figure out how to replicate the success they had with Elmer. IMO, of course.
