Would/should PAC try and add Perry Central to small Divison for an even 14? Curious what you guys think just for a convo.

For how this thread started i was hoping for more action in here. Haha

Gotta say I'm pretty surprised Providence won it all. I guess i got used to seeing a team who seemed head and shoulders better then everyone (LCC, Pioneer, Lutheran, Linton, Covenant Christian) and figured they weren't. Could just be the new 1A where we have alot of equal teams are top and you just gotta bring your A game every week. Providence did. 1 football title in school history. Props to Kempf. Hell of a player

Most played 9....Providence had a bye week 6 I believe. NJ played all 9 weeks. Some teams just can't find opponents certain weeks

Pretty much sums up Providence entire post season run.

They get picks. Was up 28-0 against Valley early 3rd. They did a good job on Hamilton until 2nd half. He had 2 50+ TD runs. Corydon had a KO return, long screen pass for a TD. Putnam had a KR TD. Feels like they give up big plays alot. They just seem to always do enough to win.

Seen them 3 times. They don't turn ball over. Commit few penalties. Well coached. QB is best player by far. Kempf is extremely fast and can throw pretty good. They have good size. Defensively they just seem to make timely plays. They aren't dominate. Hamilton for Springs Valley ran for about 240. Putnam moved the ball pretty good and Corydon threw the ball on them pretty good at times too. Hard to explain. They are good but never really seem dominate which making it to state you would expect. I would say NJ is favored but i also thought SP would win last week.

Watched Providence 3 times this year. It's crazy because everytime i never really thought "team is going to state." QB is really good and they got good size. Defense plays well but has plenty of lapses. But they kept winning. Really thought someone would trip them up. McDonald is a good coach and they are very sound. Think trip down to 1A has played well in thier favor. Not saying right or wrong I don't care for this debate. Only going to help possibly pull more kids for Clark County area as everyone else is really not very good.

Seems like a spicy thread. May hide in bathroom at work when this game is going on to watch how this thread goes
