HNAC Week Five
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I've long said we need to seed the sectional. Question is, based on what? OA record? Sagrin Ratings? SOS? I would suggest putting the best 2 teams in the opposite bracket. After that, I'm just not sure . . . Do we seed all 7 or 8 teams? And, based on what (again)? So many theories. So until we get a better plan, we blind draw the tournament. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

All due respect, I disagree. I think LaVille wants to win the conference and do it without a loss! Then I believe Andrean is on the radar if Andrean turns up on the schedule. What would be a shame is if Andrean and LaVille draw each other in the first round of the playoffs. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

I would agree with Fine Print in regards to the margin of victory LaVille is winning by to start the season. I will also point out that LaVille has beaten everyone they were supposed to beat. Question is how would they handle a similar team? LaVille has shown they can limit the run. How they going to defend a team that has a threatening passing game? Anything can happen on any given night! Time will tell . . . as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -
2A Outlook?

Agreed . . . Defense certainly does win championships! IMO when a defense has had to prep for a variety of offenses throughout the season, that preparation can be useful the deeper the state tournament run. Spread, Wing-T, Power Football, passing team, the list goes on. The second way to win is if your offense sustains long drives to short the possessions in the game. Opponent can not score if they don't have the ball. The third portion is to win field position and turnover battle - Hang on to the ball and convert when given a short field. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

Good point! So it sounds like maybe SOS and Depth are against LaVille? I guess we'll see. As I mentioned, that is why we play the games! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

If you look at strength of schedule, I would say that Andrean and Luers would have a more difficult schedule than LaVille in the north. Mater Dei gets the SOS in the south. I am one that also believes that anything can happen on any given day. That's why we play the games, boys! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

Latest AP Football Poll
from_the_sidelines007 replied to globemstr3's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
So, for what it's worth, I looked at the Indianapolis area map and found that Indpls Public Schools Beech Grove Decatur Township Franklin Township Lawrence Township Metro School District of Perry Township Metro School District of Pike Township Purdue Poly School Town of Speedway Metro School District of Warren Township Metro School District of Washington Township Metro School District of Wayne Township are considered Indianapolis area schools. It seems that 'Indianapolis area" schools is a hot topic and has a wide-based understanding of what is "Indianapolis area" Does it really matter?

HNAC Week Four
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
The Triton player you are referring to is a very good athlete. I remember him diving for the pylon on the 2-pt conversion. On another note, as I was looking at MaxPreps and Hoosier North Conference stats, I noticed several schools - more than one - did not have stats. Is there some secret if a quarterback is whatever-for-whatever for a certain amount of yards, 'x' number of touchdowns and interceptions? Is it top secret if a back has however many yards rushing, and 'x' amount of touchdowns with whatever yards per carry? Sorry! I guess I just don't understand. Any thoughts ? as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -
HNAC Week Four
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
So we all know that special teams play a big role during a high school football game. Over the first couple of weeks, I've seen LaVille's two kickers - Nettrouer and Plummer. When Triton attempted the PAT against LaVille, the kick was blocked - Then they went for a 2-point conversion on the second score. When Pioneer scored, they went for two. Seems like they've gone for two points in recent years. How are the other kickers in the league? as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

HNAC Week Four
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I am intrigued by Knox v. North Judson-San Pierre and Triton v. Bremen. Redskins and Jays putting up some offensive numbers. Question is will the defense step up? Trojans are capable of putting it together. I think it will take 4 solid quarters to beat Bremen. And the Lions just showed what they can do against Marian. A quick start by Bremen could affect Triton's mental game. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

HNAC Week Three
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I don't recall exactly how high Pioneer got during 2018, but they did finish #22 in the final overall Sagarin rankings. It is nice to see a local, small-school doing well as we start the 2022 high school football season! Pretty cool, indeed! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

HNAC Week Three
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Pretty impressive start to the game for LaVille. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I felt like LaVille scored everytime they had the ball in the first half!? The Plummer kid can also kick. That 45-50 yard field goal attempt had the distance, just missed a bit wide left. He getting any interest in the kicking area? I would also say that Pioneer might have picked up on something - Pass the ball! Not much real estate to be had between the tackles against that LaVille defensive line. Pioneer had that short pass for completions and the chance to move the ball. The Pioneer quarterback did okay for himself. He did try to force the one pass on the INT. Nice job by the LaVille defender to step in front then go the distance. A team may have to go short routes to move the ball down field, but it seems like it can be done if the receivers take a route through the open area. Pioneer might be young, but they can still finish in the middle of the HNAC pack. Week Four Is Just Ahead! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
The running clock can not start prior to the beginning of the second half. I refer to IHSAA Rules and Procedures for clarification: 1. Beginning with the second half of any high school football game, when the point differential between teams is at or reaches 35 points, the game clock shall convert to a running clock. A running clock is defined as a clock that does not stop during play with the exception of timeouts, scores and/or injuries. 2. Once the running clock is implemented, the clock may not revert back to standard timing protocols regardless of the score of the contest. 3. The 40 second play clock shall remain in effect throughout the contest. 4. Coaches do not have the ability to override the implementation ofthe Mercy Rule during a contest. The Referee shall notify the head coach of each school when the Mercy Rule goes into effect. The home team is responsible for notifying timing personnel of the running clock. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 -

HNAC Week Two
from_the_sidelines007 replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
After watching LaVille play Friday, IMO LaVille's defense is its strength. They've got 11 guys that fly to the ball and a very stingy front line. We have yet to see an above average passing team to throw on the LaVille secondary. That will be a test. The offense is also very experienced. From the OLine to the backfield and receivers plus a solid quarterback that can throw the football and run the football. QB tossed 2 TDs and ran for 2 more. Teams will score on LaVille, but the offense has the tools to score 4-5 times a game. As long as they stay healthy, this team could experience success in the regular season and beyond. As long as they stay healthy! Depth could end up being crucial for this small school at the southern edge of St. Joseph County. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007
