Well I watched a little of the game. Hard to gauge their overall strength from the video I watched. I don't have a prediction so far . you can look at sagarin and like opponents etc etc and if you don't know anything about either team you probably lean towards south. knowing the injury situation makes it a bit more difficult . I read on a indiana high school football facebook page that Decatur has just got some injured players back . At any rate should be interesting.

opps didn't mean to click the laughing emoji . it won't let me change it.... anyways I'll check it out thanks for the link.

I asked on the siac thread what radio station was covering for Evansville and I listened there .....

Game went about as I had thought. With our all state db out for the season e north passed the ball a bit . Going to be tough next week at decatur central. With them rolling over Whiteland like they did and our pass defense weakened it will definately be an uphill battle.

If I could retire early from a real job I'd 'think' about it. Was shocked when I was a ref that a lot if the fans really don't know the rules of the game.

Any idea what eville radio will be broadcasting the north bhss game? Maybe ihsaatv?

any idea who will replace the injured db?

@ptr Is Polston a freshman?

So earlier in this thread I said I wasn't convinced in Whiteland or DC. That was before I knew about dc's qb being out earlier in the season. Hmmm changes my perspective knowing now he was being recruited by UM. Should be an interesting couple of weeks before state.

I apologize for criticizing the officiating. I was a ref for one year and one year only for this exact reason. The outcome of the game was indicative of the two teams strengths. Looking back south won 47-0 the first game seymour made some progress in the weeks since and tacked 14 on the board. I too played during the scc era @ bhss. I can still hear our coach singing Lionel Richie's 'all night long' ( in an attempt to make light/ inspire us to play better) after our loss at seymour. He was referring to Michael Batts running all night long. So I have a respect for seymour . Congrats to them on a good season.

Are there any archived games of Evansville north? I hesitated picking bhss since they lost regional last year . Are they a running team? Seems as if the Panthers have difficulty with passing teams. I'm still unsure since I've seen south only once . I favor south at semistate but that's only if they get past e north......

Evansville North @ Bloomington South Whiteland @ Decatur Central

I've read several comments on random threads about the 5a representative from the south bracket at state will not be a bloomington school. And that ultimately whoever comes from the south bracket will not be able to handle snider. I have no idea since I have not seem snider and I'm far removed from the bhss Panthers. been to like 3 or four games in as many years. And with south being prone to injury as they have been in recent years they may not be a threat to win the state title at this point. But looking at the DC Whiteland match-up im not convinced they are at the level bhss is at this season. like opponents include martinsville who defeated DC and gave Whiteland a good game south handled martinsville with ease . My biggest concern is Evansville North at this point. If souths injurred db is able to play with a cast I would pick them to win the semistate if they get past Evansville north. And if we had our kicker still I felt we would have been competitive at state .

Drew Crum-Hieftje was all state last year . Unsure the extent of his injury but he did leave the stadium. If we lose him and the loss of our kicker/punter it cast a little doubt on the shot I felt we had at state. Really miss the 40+ yd range the touch backs and punts. The loss of our center has been filled nicely however thebpkayer who filled it was supposed to be a contributor on defense. This is why it's hard to follow the Panthers these days from my perspective . At any rate best wishes for them moving forward.

The bad calls were all in the first half imo. Personal foul on a roughing passer where the qb didn't even go to turf just hasled the qb a bit. The trick play where seymour got to the redzone hit the turf first , guy next to me was recording game and played it back . Lack of holding calls on seymour oline. Without the refs doubting seymour would have come away with 14 points . I must have missed the play you were speaking of.

how are you getting the updates

@ptrcant believe I'm saying this #4 drew crum-heifte looks to have broke wrist tonite was sutting next to his dad when he weent down . he is probanly our best dB and plays some offensive snaps ..... .

1st game I went to this year. tonight at seymour. this is the worse officiating crew I've seen I years. ridiculously bad.

How does that even happen. top team in your class and our kicker is lifting weights in playoffs and breaks a collar bone..... something ain't right happens way to much.

Just goes to prove 1hat I keep saying. every year key pieces get season ending injuries. I was starting to think South had a good chance this year. he's hit a 40+ yarder this year and always gets a touch back on kickoffs. real disappointing.

@ptr decided to go to game tonite 1st game this year. word in the stands is our kicker broke his collar bone. he is a excellent kicker too .. Imagine that .....

last year we were without our #1 wr DeAndre black our #1 & # 2 rb's Addams and morrison at the regianal final vs castle . it really goes back farther than a few years and I can't remember names but ever since the 2014 team lost at semistate to Cathedral we have lost at least 2 or 3 starters a year some years they were lineman recently were skilled players. I have wondered if it is linked to turf . studies have shown there are more season ending injuries on turf .

Alot has changed since the redistricting in monroe county. In the 1990s you could expect a long tourney run from bhss and they did just that 7 regional titles I believe. But take away those old bhss communities and student body sending them to bhsn has weakend the program. I have the same mentality as you now . Sort of I'll believe it when I see it.

bhsn #1 myth has been busted.
