    Wait . . . geography over religious affiliation?  Come on, we need to at least try to keep up the pretense of the P/P cartel as the shadow authority over Indiana HS football.  What if they start to think that we don't actually have a statewide conspiracy to direct the best players to our schools?  Where will our psychological advantage go?  Soon, they will start to realize that recruiting isn't an excuse and then where we be?  Please edit your post to say, "You have no chance against the Catholic school hegemony of which EM is a key component.  We will be rooting for our Catholic brethren while eating fish and chips because we are required to do so by the papal hierarchy."  😉

    You had me a "hegemony"!  Good luck to both teams but have to pull for our So Indiana brethren to smite the mighty smiters..

    I just don't understand why people keep bringing up "needing a good passing game"    This isnt the NFL, it isnt college,  you can have a really great running scheme, run the ball 98% of the time, and still win.  IMAGINE THAT.  

    3 possibilities during a passing play, and 2 of them are bad. ill take my chances getting 4 yards and a cloud of dust, and must moving the ball at will.  I know its not pretty, its not exciting, but it WINS.

    .

    This game was a prime example of why teams can benefit from a good passing game to compliment their running game.  TC had a very strong running game coming in BUT WeBo's defense was able to control it.  TC was never able to consistently "get 4 yds and a cloud of dust" nor could they "move the ball at will", thus completely negating their previously dominant running game.  By mid way through the 2nd qtr, WeBo had 11 guys within 5-7 yds of line of scrimmage.  If TC had more ability to throw the ball, they could have stretched out the WeBo defense and maybe been able to generate more space for running game.  

    When TC did throw, they usually only had 2 in the pattern, allowing WeBo to double-team and still have 7 guys in box.  Certainly some may disagree but it is hard to argue with the result last night;  TC would have been much better off if they had even a good but not great passing game.  The game was never really in doubt after WeBo's 1st 2 drives.  TC got within a TD late in 2nd qtr but WeBo responded with a quick TD, largely due to a long pass play 😎 to push lead back to 14 at half and were never challenged in the 2nd half. 

    WeBo looked strong on both sides of the ball and even with a good passing game the result may not have been much different.  Good Luck to the Stars next week.

    With all do respect, football is different up past I-70! 

    Perhaps a little dose of reality is in order here...certainly WeBo had a great run last season in winning  the 2A State Championship and looks to be a really tough out this year as well.  However, based on IHSAA records over the past 2 decades 1999 - 2019, WeBo has won just 6 Sectionals & 2 Regionals, including this season's results to date.  This hardly qualifies them to be the standard bearer for "football being different up past I-70!".  Slow your roll.

    Last I checked,  there are a number teams located well south of I-70 with same # of State Titles and far more success at the Sectional, Regional, & Semi-State levels than WeBo over the same 20 year period, including, Heritage Hills, Southridge, Evv Reitz, Mater Dei & Memorial.  "Football may be different past I-70" but there is no evidence it is any more successful, esp at WeBo.  Good luck the rest of the tournament, based on what I saw vs HC, you could well hoist your 2nd straight State Title trophy at Thanksgiving.

    I guess I just don’t believe in the hype around the state. Watched some film, and they look sloppy. Sorry it’s just what I see as an outsider looking in. Let’s let the players do the talking instead of typing an entire book. 

    So far Football Fan your analysis is dead on.  TC up 6 - 0 on MD at the half.  MD already with 2 TOs and too many bad snaps to count.  Happe cannot seem to handle the shotgun snap smoothly which has thrown offensive timing off.  Even the FG attempt just before half was a poor hold/bad kick that resulted in a sideways spinning kick that floated into the cross bar.  Kicking game, or rather Mater Dei's lack of one, is looming large so far in this game.  Calling their play "sloppy" in first half would be kind.
