Impressive! Mt. Vernon will be playing 2 games on Friday!! One at Enlow and one at the Reitz Bowl I am assuming! What is the traffic like Friday evening from Bosse to Reitz will they have time to warm up? 🤣😂

Ultimately talk is cheap. I sincerely hope we see a great game as Merrillville is a fantastic football team with no losses on their schedule. Westfield also is a fantastic team with their only loss to Cathedral in week 1. I hope it is a terrific game. I doubt highly you will see much talk from Westfield on the game. I think both teams are fantastic.

Don't be hating on Old School Uni's! 🤣 Only common opponent is Triton Central Scecina beat them 27-0 and Mater Dei 35-7. Makes for a very intriguing game!

Michigan City is definitely a good football team (re-watched Valpo at MC last night). They have some good speed and playmakers that can certainly make plays at times and game will definitely be a good game. All that being said I don't feel MC brings anything to the table that teams Zionsville has played bring (Westfield, Brownsburg, HSE, Harrison W.L., Dwenger). Yes MC has the capability to beat Zionsville, I will stick with the Eagles by a FG since it is at MC.

Most likely not. I only provided the history for @IndianaWrestlingGuyas he mentioned it.

I would say more than a lot delirious, delusional, add in biased.

What you didn't care for my Observer glasses comment! (All in fun I just kid you). Glad ND has added you to the ND Indiana talent scout team under the guise of Officiating Observation though! 🤣

The Eagles don't get a lot of notice honestly. They have been steady and fly under the radar. I felt they gave Cathedral's defense quite a battle last year, just couldn't come up with stops defensively in the end. Won't be easy going up to Michigan City, I will take Zionsville by a FG because it is a road game and MC has some solid players offensively.

Coach Harpold had a fantastic team that year with Ellis at RB. I watched them live beat Cathedral 21-20 in OT (was a terrific game). The Arlington at BD was also a terrific game I watched in person. Fine was an outstanding kicker, I am not sure anyone in the stadium that night felt 100% on Fine hitting that FG from 56 yds. I am sure Coach D would have rather been kicking a 35 yarder so he wouldn;t have had as much of a pucker effect!

Seymour hasn't been to the Regionals/Semi-State since before @Donnie Bakerstarted the Pork Pistols. Coach Goodman was a solid coach with the Owls. I believe it was 1991 when the Owls went to State and lost to Hobart.

I am trying to think of some others that were similar to Cutler on both sides of the ball. First one that pops to mind that I personally watched is James Banks (Ben Davis). Was a dangerous QB (passing and running) also was a ballhawk safety. What about possibly Jack Kiser?

Yes, penalties are one of the things needs to be improved. In no way shape or for will I bash on the QB. I think he has played spectacular. Actually in parts of the season the QB's awareness and escape capabilities have extended plays and covered up with some miscues running the ball. I wasn't expecting my post to end up turning into bashing the QB as I was talking Offense in general (penalties have been a problem at times on both sides of the ball). I just think they need to get improve in some areas (nothing more than that they are still solid).

Did you make sure to get your "Observer Glasses"? Should be a fun one!

Yes and a very good one Absolutely, my post wasn't any knock on the QB. Just stating the Offense needs to get a little better. They have played a couple of tough defenses the last 2 weeks (New Pal and DC) and have struggled at points in the game. Just need to improve and get better. 100% has been terrific. The offense as a whole just needs to get better, work on TD's instead of FG. I should clarify no team is playing perfect right now and likely won't play perfect.

He (Terry McLaurin) is definitely up there among one of the Best players from Cathedral. Blaine Bishop would be another one. Been a few good lineman that graduated from there although difficult to compare with skill players. McLaurin was fun to watch. Ohio State didn't utilize all of his talents (because they had a few talented WR's) and he made no complaints about it, but he certainly is showing his capabilities in the NFL.

True, just saw that Kankakee plays Morton at 3:00pm on Saturday while Gibson Southern will be playing at Tri-West at 4:00pm Saturday. Tough call for John, but he might elect to make the short 20 min drive to Lizton rather than 2 1/2 hour drive to Kankakee. 😄

Tri-West / Danville is a big rivalry game the 2 schools are about 13 minutes from each other (about 9-10 miles separates them). They are very familiar with each other. Tri-West use to run a spread/run and shoot style offense and a 3-4 defense. I am not sure if they still run the same. I think at this point you have to assume all teams left are solid. I have not watched much of Tri-West this year, From what I have heard about the Titans Offense the Bruins will have their hands full. On a positive note for Titans fans GS Head Coach Nick Hart I am sure will have his father John in attendance as Brownsburg is just a short trip out I-74 from Lizton Indiana.

The Irish need to get better offensively. Won't effect this game in particular. They will likely win this game. They have to get better if they want to beat Michigan City or Zionsville come Thanksgiving weekend. Defense looks good but offense needs to get better. Just an outside prospective

Agreed on all accounts (I have a son close to Mxen's age that needs a hair cut) stay well my friend!

Word to the jack-o-lantern world IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FRIDAY NIGHT. I don't know how elde to spell it out! Special Teams no matter what part doesn't count towards anything. Yiu can keep spouting but IT DOES NOT MATTER! Why do you keep bringing up a Friday night game. Let alone a Saturday JV game in the last week of the season?! I know you have an agenda but jeeze whiz give it a rest, you sound so incompentent it's not even funny (coming from someone that was a parent of a son that played in the Mid-State Conference) just give it a rest.
