  1. Dragons are very young but have come a long way since the first two weeks. Both their losses come to 5A and 6A semistate teams.
  2. I think we are in the race with a little better injury luck. Losing your RB in sectional semifinals would have drastically effected all three of these teams. It just happened to be us. Had a bad injury to starting CB in sectional championship. Best DL was battling a knee injury, but played through it. Starting guard hurt in practice for regional but he played too. Not sure it would have mattered, and everyone is battling injuries at this point, but it sure didn’t help. Kinda crazy we play guys two ways for years and avoid the injury bug, and this is our deepest ever team with very few two way guys and have all the injuries at the end.
  3. I was at this game. Irish RB #3 needed 40+ carries to win. Didn't get them. CG took away first read outside the hash and result was a lot of sacks. Irish scored first 10 points running the ball and stopping the run, but neither of those things lasted. I thought CG threw the ball too much in first quarter.
  4. can somebody name the OL/DL for East Central? Because that had to be an impressive performance from what I saw last week.
  5. A lot of people around here thought NP would go to state. Losing our starting RB hurt. But I knew that beating Roncalli did not equal state. Best RB was probably at East Central. What a game.
  6. thanks for clarifying that a foot isn't down 🙄 from the sideline video you can see his lower body, and from the end zone cam you can see his upper body 🤷‍♂️
  7. They are not down until a body part besides the hand touches the ground. The NP RB rolled off a tackle and went to the end zone in the first game vs Mt. Vernon this year.
  8. Really? It's not just knees? 🙄 Did you read any of the rest of my posts? It's a still photo taken the moment a body part hits the ground and the ball is already out. It is pretty clear on the two videos when you piece them together...I'm not going by a still photo...if you'd like to see them, shoot me a pm
  9. We will definitely agree to disagree on that. Sideline view shows RB feet 4’ in the air, so his knees are clearly not down. End zone view shows his head, shoulders and elbows are not down either. He is on top of a player as ball comes out. Sideline judge just missed it. And it’s ok to say that.
  10. I have now sent you the sideline view as well. No part of the RB is ever down. this is true!
  11. I'm sure it will be shared by the appropriate people. His knees are on top of a player. It was a fumble.
  12. It sure looks like this was a fumble. Not sure it makes a difference, at 14-7…but should have had the opportunity.
  13. Not so sure, they lose a very strong senior class, including four starters on the OL and all three starting LB. I think NP probably takes a step back next year. They have a really good freshman class. NP lost starting RB two weeks ago, starting CB last week, and had an OL go down in practice this week and played on a bad leg. But honestly, I'm not sure it would have made a difference.
  14. 57! However, if you would have told me we would hold them to 20 points, I'd probably have been ok with that. The Dragons couldn't get anything sustained vs their defense.
  15. this game was dominated on both lines of scrimmage by the Rebels. period. Congrats to Roncalli.
  16. Grayson will miss the rest of the season. Get well soon kid.
  17. Ok, I gotta chime in here. #1 NP is never gonna join the MIC. I agree with the OP, it is a dying conference. Carmel and Center Grove leaving accelerated it. #2 NP enrollment just topped 1200 for the first time this year, which puts them nowhere close. #3 NP has 2 guys that play both ways full time. There are maybe 5 more that do so situationally. Probably the deepest NP team in that regard. #4 The most likely candidates are Tech and Cathedral (very unlikely, more likely to end up where Carmel and CG go), IMO.
  18. While I might regret wallowing out in this thread... Mt. Vernon is a very good football team, and I would challenge anyone that says differently. When you have two guys like they do in Bridenthal and Burhenn, it makes them very hard to defend. They have great schemes on defense. Their freshman QB has come a long way this season. And playing your cross-county rival and defending state champ two times at their place is difficult. I would have taken an ugly one point win and been ecstatic. Knew all week that was gonna be a tough one. I have no idea how good Roncalli, East Central, and Northwood are. I do not think NP will roll through 4A. But that alone doesn't mean the winner of 4A couldn't compete in the higher classes. I do think 4A is tougher than 5A this year. We will never know. Hell, I still think the 2018 and 2019 NP teams would have won any class those two years. Who cares what we think? It does make the message boards fun though.
  19. Yeah, both teams were undefeated. Two very talented teams. middle LB and safety for the Irish were very good players.
  20. In one of the craziest, hard-hitting, exciting, and just plain nuts freshman games I've ever seen, the Dragons knock off the Irish 12-10. Cathedral misses a FG as time expires. What a game!
  21. That is impressive. I didn't realize until this week the games didn't count towards the conference. I'd hand a banner anyway.
