Heritage Hills about leads GS in every defensive or offensive categories based on my calculations. But, with better conditions on the field compared to the first matchup, this one is going to be good! 2 very good matchups right off the bat in this sectional with Memorial and Mater Dei going at it too.

MasseyRating: Memorial (-12) at Mater Dei, 72% chance of winning for the Tigers Mt. Vernon at Southridge (-31), 93% chance of winning for the Raiders Lincoln (-35) at Princeton, 99% chance of winning for the Alices Heritage Hills (-2) at Gibson Southern, 54% chance of winning for the Patriots

Calpreps: Jasper (-7) at Harrison, 65% chance of winning for the Wildcats Central at Reitz (-38), >99% chance of winning for the Panthers Memorial (-17) at Mater Dei, 87% chance of winning for the Tigers Lincoln (-37) at Princeton, >99% chance of winning for the Alices

The spreadsheet is good to go, just waiting for a couple of teams to post week 9 stats. Just PM if you want it or I can just post it on here.

Sectional stats are done for the PAC teams, just need to load the SIAC teams later or tomorrow. I added all the 16 different possibilities visualized with the Bracket.

Probably the new “Sectional of Death” this year. Can’t say much about the other sectionals, but it’s probably the toughest one to my knowledge.

Massey Ratings: S24: Jasper (-29) at Harrison, 96% chance of winning for the Wildcats Central at Reitz (-41), 100% chance of winning for the Panthers S32: Memorial (-12) at Mater Dei, 72% chance of winning for the Tigers Lincoln (-35) at Princeton, 99% chance of winning for the Alices

John Harrell Memorial (-7) at Mater Dei Mount Vernon at Southridge (-18) Lincoln (-14) at Princeton Heritage Hills (-11) at Gibson Southern

How about Castle’s McCool last night? Unofficially had 182 rushing yards and 2 TD’s + 77 yard rushing score. Surprised he hasn’t picked up more offers.

I’m definitely going to be intrigued with this matchup. The first game was mainly back and forth between those two.

Postseason time! S24: Jasper (-10) at Harrison Central at Reitz (-32) S32: Memoral (-7) at Mater Dei Lincoln (-14) at Princeton North, Castle, and Bosse all have bye weeks.

Reitz, what a game, looks like the Panthers returned some key players right on time before the postseason. I saw passing defense had either 3 or 4 picks against Mater Dei.

Yes, the game had a lot of momentum changing plays throughout the game. The matchup definitely lived up to the hype!

Wow, a lot of fun matchups the conference had tonight

Picks: Reitz at Mater Dei- This game is always a fun matchup no matter the records. Reitz went back on the winning side beating Bosse and Mater Dei is having a nice season. Mater Dei also has the chance to get a share of the SIAC Title with a win AND Castle win over Memorial. The last 2 years have gone to Reitz, but I’m going to pick the Wildcats by 7. Lincoln at Jasper- Seems like the Wildcats figured a few things and have looked better the last couple of weeks. Lincoln seems to be a frisky team every once in a while. I’ll take the JCats by 2 scores. Bosse at Harrison- Bosse is having a rough season and is trying to look for their first win. Harrison definitely improved from last season. Give me the Warriors by 4 scores. North at Central- this game will be a long night for Central, as North is a bigger team. Give me the Huskies in a running clock. Game of the Week Castle vs Memorial at Bosse Field- This game has been hyped since early May. Both teams are coming into the game with major SIAC implications on the line. Memorial has already clinched a share of the title, but a win will give the Tigers the outright title. Castle has the opportunity to share the title with the Tigers (or a 3-way tie with MD) with a win. Statistically, both teams have top defenses in the SIAC. This game will live up on the hype and the atmosphere will be electric tonight! Give me the Tigers by 10.

Looks like several P4 schools are trying to flip him.

It’s probably around total 140 YPG if I had to guess. If I had the time, I would have calculations, but I have no idea where to begin to figure that out. For example, Bosse had like 15 yards of rushing before the starters came out. I believe the ended up having 190 rushing yards once the back ups were in, causing the stats to inflate a bit. However, I do think showing the stats help to figure out where teams stand or not. I think I’ve gotten better at it over the years, but it sucks when teams are inconsistent posting stats (had tons of problems last postseason) and throwing off the calculations.

Michael Lindauer is back on the SIU roster after SIU’s waiver being approved. I believe SIU had 1 available freshman QB after the other 3 got injured.
