What we learned after Week7!
- Reitz dominated the Tigers in the Battle of Unbeatens and is on pace to win their 2nd straight SIAC Title. The Panthers are one of the most well rounded teams in Southern Indiana and will make a noise in the playoffs. The Tigers had trouble scoring against Panthers Defense all night, even when they had very good field position. However, outside of a couple of plays, Memorial Defense did play well throughout the game. But missing QB1 would eventually catch up to the Tigers.
- North completely manhandled the Alices too, as North did what they want down the field throughout the game. As the Alices couldn’t do anything to stop or score on them. I believe North ended up have around 300 rushing yards and went up 24-zip at HT. North’s D held the Alices Offense to around 80 total yards in the game. North may very well have the best OL/DL in the conference this season and maybe 2024 (some are juniors).I know Hunt is out for the Alices, but I did think this would have been a competitive game.
- This game was an excellent matchup as Castle escapes Jasper by 2 yards. It sound liked the starting QB for Castle went out after the 1Q and brought in a sophomore QB. However, he led the Knights to a 39-32 victory over the Cats as Jasper was seconds away from tying the game, but fumbled the ball with 40 seconds left. It looked Jasper went up pretty high in the 2H, but it seems like Jasper gave up a couple of safeties and turnovers to Castle. I haven’t looked at the stats, but I heard Castle had a pretty good rushing game last Friday.
- Congratulations to Bosse, as they beat MD for the first time in 30 years on Homecoming. Bosse went down 13-0 early and scoring 22 straight points in the 2Q, which proved enough, as the Dawgs would win it 36-20. While MD has struggled, it looked like they had some offensive success initially but dwindled, but I do know it was 28-20 game throughout the 4Q until Bosse sealed the deal with a late TD.
- I didn’t follow this game closely, but from the sounds of it, it was a back and forth game between Harrison/Central. Unlike last years blowout win for Harrison, the Warriors got their first win on the season beating the Bears, 28-21 at the Bear Den. Central remains winless for the time being and might have another 0-10 season.
