Kind of a side topic that shows you how big the Mt Vernon upset was last year. It applies because some of the players are still on the team. Last years team: QB who holds every single Roncalli passing record WR who hold every singe Roncalli receiving record RB who at the end of this year will own every single Roncalli rushing record 4 division 1 lineman and another who is playing at U of I. (three this year) 2 Mr. Football position award winners. (My money is on Lauk for OL and Hanesn for RB this year) Team that holds the all time Roncalli consecutive winning streak. If Lockard is not concussed in Sectional final vs Chatard, Roncalli is in 5A and headed for a three-peat.

I thought there were a lot of holding penalties called on both sides. Roncalli had their second drive stall out that resulted in a missed FG because of a holding call. Also had a TD called back because of a hold later in the game, though they ended up scoring on that drive. It was a big contrast to the New Pal game that had very few called on both sides.

Just for reference, the kid in the middle is 6’7” and 290lbs.

Was he able to walk off the field? Hope everything is OK.

Looks like the kid was knocked out cold on that one TD run.

Would be a game with a lot of playmakers. I still can’t figure out how Reitz lost to Boontucky.

True, they just seem to have a lot of talent on O and decent size on their lines. That’s why my comment is that they have to figure out who they are and how to win.

Roncalli takes a huge step back next year as does Brebeuf (according to one of their fans I talked to here ) . I think next year is all East Central unless Evansville Reitz figures it out.

I am kind of stunned how one sided it was on the line of scrimmage The NP QB and his scrambling and passing to Thacker kept NP in the game when the running game was not working. NP should be very strong next year when the RB comes back from injury.

Their D is good. They held Mr. Football to his lowest total of the season so far.

Hey, hey, hey, be careful with the R word……

I ran out of allowed likes on posts, so my like does not show up on this one. the kid from Andrean is a star, but what the heck does Hansen have to do to win it? If he manages to carry Roncalli over EC next weekend, he willl run for 400 yards against whoever comes out of the north

He’s back!

Someone just made their statement.

I think North was definately a bad loss for EM. Different team at that time, but those factors are not measureable data.

Is the closed SIAC hurting EM's Sagarin? Showing 0 games against top 25 and only 1 against top 64 (Reitz)

Interesting Sagarin ratings. Throw in to Roncalli's 5 top 25 games are Male and Elder.

It will be interesting to see what Roncalli can do through the air. The one thing I thought they have missed in the Regional loss last year and most of this season was the big play through the pass to keep the D honest. Lockard provided that last year at WR and he did not play against Mt Vernon. They have seemed to find something with the TE the last few games.

Technically both games against the IPS schools were away games that they hosts chose to play at Roncallinbecasue of seating capacity.

This matchup has been looming in the distance since the sectional alignments were released. Now it is finally here. I don’t think Roncalli can win a shoot out. They show a remarkable commitment and level of patience for running the ball.

Kiser had 2 previous state finals runs, including a win to build that early case.

It is the two questions that no one can answer: How much ground did he have to make up? Are voters outside of Central Indiana getting enough exposure to him? This could be one disadvange to being in 6A is that he won't play teams outside of central Indiana in the playoffs until maybe the State Finals.

I like to watch those guys. Enough pulling for EC to let you know they care and are excited, but very complimentary toward their opponents. Is the guy who got tossed in the Boonville game playing this week?

I look forward to seeing Tibbs play in the Old Gold and Black next season. They sure could use him.
