I'll say south by 4. Supposedly the ihsaa is wecasting it https://twitter.com/BHSS_Athletics/status/1456633336865112074?t=WcR_Ce2du3hJOz-Ur5nQqg&s=19

Looks like a good place to ask when the next school enrollment class and sectional realignment is due to occur?

Defensively south had the upper hand over the castle o. But the castle d was Solid vs. The Panthers. Nah I didn't make it down....listened to the castle radio broadcasters tho. Sounded like a couple geeks , which is OK sports nerds and geeks are knowledgeable. Anyone know when the sectional realignment and class realignment is scheduled to happen next? Be nice if south didn't have to drive to castle high again for a tourney game

Not sure they dominated castle. The knights had a solid chance to win that game at the end. Castle was great defensively in the red zone also had the punt block for a td.

Yeah so if he doesn't return that makes him and wr matthew griffin an athletic 6 ft. 180 sr. (scored a long td reception Vs. bhsn in week four) that played in the first meeting that won't be playing in the sectional final rematch. Hard to say but I would think bhsn may have improved slightly more than bhss but that's hard to prove. Winning at castle was a mild surprise for South in my opinion. I didn't know what to expect. Unsure if south has any more injuries to note . But those receivers have been key to their offensive production this season. Given the Panthers won by 14 week 4 . And with those losses I would probably have this as a toss up or very very slightly favor bhss maybe 1 point in ot or something. I did read that bhsn's season goal was to win the sectional since they fell short in recent seasons. I wouldn't be surprised if they did just that either.

Well a nice win for South on the road. Had south converted more of those red zone drives into td's would have been nice. Castle d was good in the red zone. South coach mentioned getting td's instead of fg's while in the redzone in the pregame interview. Failed in that respect but still got a w. Last I saw was bhsn 35 e north 24.. looks like a bloomington finale. South will have to convert the redzone trips next week if they expect to win. Bhsn is playing better down the stretch.

Was going to book a campsite in Warrick Co. But they are booked up . It's the last weekend they are open . Wanted the closest site to castle high so I would t have to drive through city traffic late at night. Chances are I'll just catch the radio. The two head coaches played together at indiana state. https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/2020/10/29/castle-bloomington-south-head-coaches-were-indiana-state-teammates/3753576001/

No doubt the Panthers wheels have fallen off. Not sure if they can turn this around . But the other three teams in this sectional all won their final season game. Granted they werent playing indy chatard who would have beaten them all. That being said the Panthers showed virtually no life in their game with chatard. I wanted to see more enthusiasm. Chatard is a better outfit than most but south is a 5a school that has a few d1 caliber kids and a lot of history there. Should have been a more competitive game. Also I remember last year the pregame article for bhss Castle mentioned that south coach and castles coach had some sort of history. Maybe they played together in high school or college can't remember ill see if I can dig that up.... still think it's odd south is at castle for the tourney game . This is the 5th time they will have met in the tourney . Every game has been at castle . Im debating on driving down.

Latest sectional projection has castle favored over the second place Panthers by 20 percentage points. I think they should be but 20.% seems a tad high. http://scoreboard.homestead.com/football/pix.htm#loaded

I've had it with bloomington media. Pretty sure neither btown school streams. How would i find out which radio station from down yonder will be carrying the game if any?

@TigerFan20 will there be any video stream of the castle bloomington south game from s.west indiana media sources or the school itself that you are aware of?

The thought crossed my mind this afternoon that Columbus north will have 3 full weeks to prepare for their next opponent. Their last reg season game was oct 15th vs terre haute south. They get a bye on top of a bye week and are granted an appearance in the sectional title game vs center Grove most likely . Cn played some tough teams this year Gibson southern cathedral and roncalli. I mean I don't think there is much of a chance but 3 weeks to prep. All that has to happen is cg lose a player or two to injury and play a bad game and for cn to play the best game they have played in years. Very unlikely but the thought did cross my mind ....

Columbus norths last regular season game was Oct 15th. They are slated to play the winner of cg / fc on Nov. 5th. That is three full weeks of preparation. To be honest I think they would need a few years to prepare for cg to win but nothing is impossible..... I've never seen the tourney work that way .

Anyone confirm that columbus north gets three weeks to prepare for center Grove?

First I'll say that I do not agree with these sectional 15 projections which don't figure in how teams are currently playing and can't calculate progress or momentum. As well as the southwestern portion of the state that doesn't play much of the rest of the state not getting a good barometer on their true sagarin rating. Bhss with 36% Bhsn with 33% Castle with 21% And finally E . North with 8% My projection Would probably favor castle to Win it with with the rest of the teams evenly matched. Bhss has if anything made the opposite of progress this year. Injuries and game cancelation left the Panthers heading the opposite direction. Seems as if all the other teams are coming in with momentum from good season ending wins. We have two weeks to see which team can put together the needed work to win this thing. May the best team win .

Yeah pretty much feel the same. Season started great wanted to see em' get better and build enthusiasm towards tourney time . Sort of went the opposite direction. I get that cn and chatard are excellent teams but we have two d1 kids on defense and a slew of multi year starters, online is huge and qb has shown signs of brilliance. Never know but at this point castle and bhsn and e north are all showing good late season team chemistry . Would be surprised if south won a sectional game . As for having to make the drive to castle yet again I'm not sure why the luck of the draw has landed in favor of castle all 5 tourney games now. Ping pongs.... you can't control em.

Well that wraps it all up . CN outright ci Champs. Really building a program over there in recent years . Bhss well I know we should have been a better team at this point in the season. Chatard is a very good team but I used to hear the phrase ' have some pride men 'around the bhss program in past eras. Usually that turns a 42 7 blowout into a 35 - 17 or something else a bit more respectable. Isn't like south had the talent this year or anything.... 😒 disappointing .... Until next year ..... take care .

I feel like most other cities coordinate their radio stations so that they can cover all the local teams. Bloomington. . . . . Not so much. It happens a lot that they both wind up at the same game leaving a lot of the locals out of luck. It's bothersome. Bloomington certainly isn't the city I grew up in. It has changed in a lot of ways....

I will be off work at 6 p Friday but not sure that .... check that I believe I saw a post somewhere saying the game had been delayed to 7 30 per jr Holmes south ad? I'll look into that I might try to go to this one I haven't been to a game since 2018 or 2019 can't even remember now .

@Lysander what radio station will.have the Trojans / Panthers Fri night?

I remember well how much bhss was hyped to win the 2015 regional almost everyone picked bhss and they were drilled by castle . Castle are the reigning Champs regardless of bhss and their covid issue last year . The mccoulliugh bros, ehh well ill certainly tip.my hat to dasan the senior older brother he is legit legit good/great. I have felt like without him south would just have a so so defense. His brother has been pretty quiet to be honest and our secondary has had some big breakdowns this season . Maybe his brother doesn't like the scheme south runs because it hasn't worked out well this year so far in our secondary. They will need to get it together for their sectional match-up with castle . No time to waste here.

Well it never fails every year bhss has played castle in the tourney it has been at castle this will be the 6th tournament game between the two, 7th overall match-up. Bhss leads the series 4-2. Most recently last season castle defeated bhss however bhss had 7 or so starters out with covid. Credit south coach Gabe Johnson for still playing the game when he could have canceled. Fair to say most likely the winner of the castle bhss game in all likelyhood wins this sectional. I'll have to wait to see how south and castle fare in their last regular season game to make a prediction....

Why such hard feelings. Must be a north grad and can't handle the truth? Why would inhave to pay for breakfast. I usually ate avocado on toast for breakfast if I even eat breakfast the hipster/lumbersexual crowd eats stuff like that not that I ascribe to their crowd but it actually isn't a bad breakfast . If projecting truth means I'm full of myself so be it I guess......

@ptr ths has very little chance to beat cn. Southport has some size I doubt they will beat bhsn but never know. As for South do you rest David again? I say play him if he can go. Again we arrive at the chatard game beat up and most likely lose. This year seemed to have so much more promise early on. And as for building momentum for the tourney that's Hard to do when your not playing and getting injured late in the year.
