Yes he would have had over 500 rushing yards without the penalties. Definitely keep me updated after you watch, because I am pretty sure (not 100%) Otis had 489 yards rushing on around 40 plus carries but had 500 plus total yards adding up his rushing and receiving yards.

Reitz Bowl is a beautiful stadium and great place to watch a football game. I think the statement of visitor accommodations is only meant towards the parking. Some stadiums just don't lend to great parking. One of my favorite places to watch a game from is The Pit at Elder. The parking situation is terrible though. It is the nature of the beast with its location smack in the middle of a neighborhood in Price Hill.

It will be interesting to know what you see on that video. If my memory serves me correctly Shannon not only ran for a lot of yardage, but he had 500+ total yards including receiving. But that was 22 years ago so I can’t state that 100%. Wasn’t that the year they beat St. X at St. X for the first time after a couple years coming close?

The Devonta Smith that went to LaSalle is a Freshman DB at Alabama (He was part of the very good Defensive Secondary LaSalle had last year.. It is not the same Devonta Smith that is now a WR for the Philadelphia Eagles, he attended HS in Amite City Louisiana.

Lighten up a little. Easy to tell it was all in fun.

Judging from the past few seasons I don't think you will see Coach Peebles hit 63 points. They will likely get up by a large marigin in the first half. Empty the bench in the 2nd half with a running clock. You could see 42-56 points scored but running clock helps keep it down some.

PERFECT!! Amen!

It wasn't that long ago that Center Grove had a very small Visitors bleachers (only a few years from renovation that increased Visitor seating). Prior to the renovation CG was a 6A school with visitor seating comparable to that of some 3A schools. It always has been a beautiful facility was lacking Visitor bleachers until renovation. Only point is the game shall go on, what matters is the 2 teams playing and the playing surface (field) albeit Natural grass will be more than adequate.

I don't think any Cathedral or Chatard fans, players, coaches want or need sympathy. They just keep their minds to the grind. So there is nothing to wait for. Nor do I think @Olympian06 cares to wait, he brought up valid points especially using Columbus East as an example. What is irresponsible is comparing New Pal and Pioneer. It is night and day difference comparing a 4A school (with a decade of success) playing up in 5A (where they have had a plethora of success in 5A) t a 1A school where the roster numbers will be vastly different. They are no victim nor will any New Pal fan, player, or coach claim to be a victim. The Decatur Central game was 100% a game they could have won (considering DC is a solid 5A team so is New Pal). Brebeuf is 3A and they lost to them, but Brebeuf is a very good team this year. I don't see where the victim card should be played. New Pal if healthy will do just fine in 5A.

Not to step on your toes, but New Pal lost to Decatur Central 31-29. New Pal did try and kick a FG as time expired to win 32-31 and it was no good. I do agree it should be an interesting game between New Pal and Brebeuf.

Actually Ballard and Webster both threw 2 picks each. Cathedral looks to be solid. Their defense seems stout enough to carry them as their offense gels and gains experience. Cathedral Soph QB can really zing the ball. I would venture to say the Irish coaches will really work on cleaning up the penalties in practice. One of the Westfield drives that got deep in Irish territory had a lot of penalties (I think it was 40 or 45 yards in penalties on that 1 drive). Westfield has 2 very good QB's. Hopefully neither of their injuries are serious.

Will the HCTV be televising this game on IHSAATV tonight? Or will it only be on the radio only?

I agree 100% that Cathedral struggled to move the ball and score throughout the game. Actually Center Grove struggled to score too. Both teams struggled to score and it was 13-10 with about 1 minute left to go. From an outside perspective. Cathedral's RB was running very well behind the Offensive Line in that 4th qtr. I believe most of his yards came on Cathedral's last drive. He was at the time the hot player. The gamble was on that 4th and half a yard instead of handing it to him they ran their Jet play. The Jet play had been a good play for Cathedral. To Center Grove's Defensive coaches and players, they were very well prepared for it. They ended up stopping the Irish. That and the CG QB avenged his pick 6 with a terrific drive to score the go ahead TD. In hindsight yes the Irish HC said he wished he could take it back and give the ball to the hot player, but took a gamble with a play they run very well. CG on the other hand was well coached, scouted that play very well, and ultimately came up with the stop. It all doesn't matter now the outcome was what it was and the game lived up to being one of the best games in the State last year. Best of luck to both in 2021!

Dinosaurs I tell ya! Only kidding 2 of my favorite GID posters.

1.) I haven't seen many P/P supporters deny that there are some inherent advantages. We also know the student body at P/P isn't the same make-up as Public Schools @Irishmanis my favorite on this subject because he is unbiased having coached at both P/P and Public. However I have seen non-P/P supporters gloss over advantages they could utilize. The biggest and number one advantage a Public School can use over a P/P school is feeder system. Not only is Coach Moore a terrific coach at CG and CG a big school, but Coach Moore has 100% utilized an advantage that no P/P school has. Feeder system the CG Bantham League. The Trojan youngsters are running CG's bread and butter Offense and Defense from 2nd grade in Bantham Football and the same system in their middle school teams. By the time they hit High School they know this offense and defense as well as their alphabet and multiplication tables. The Coaches work on strength, speed, discipline, and incorporating more in depth of the scheme and plays, but the basic principle of the scheme is already ingrained in them. That in no way is a bad thing towards CG, I am sure @Grovercan tell you the connection between Coach Moore and the Board/Coaches at CG Bantham is absolutely terrific. I am seeing more High Schools utilize this too. While CYO is a terrific league with some great football being played. Many of those kids will be playing at different H.S. When they get to their H.S. those coaches are teaching their base Offense and defensive scheme as Freshman because some may have played in Shotgun and 3-4 but others were running I-Formation, Wing T, 4-3, or 50 defense. 2) Maybe didn't go down the best path? I don't think there is any maybe about it. 3) I don't see why you would send any message of disparity to your kids about disadvantage to P/P or advantages a P/P has. To me that is just setting them up for failure before they ever play. Not once did I ever mention to my son any disadvantage his school had or advantage a P/P school had when he played for a Public school. It didn't even come up not once. His discussions with me were with how he could become a better football player, how he could help his team, and more than anything else his technique. He focused on strength and speed with his coaches and technique was something he worked on non-stop. Wasn't blessed with the size and talent to be a D-1 college player, but his hard work and diligence made him a terrific D-3 player that he had some success at. I personally feel don't even send a message of disadvantages and focus on your own tools but that is just me and people of all walks have their own opinions.

They said on the broadcast and in the news paper he is going to Davenport University in Grand Rapids Michigan. Very impressive showing by him and he was an All Star fill in that got a phone call a couple of days prior to start of All Star events to sub in for an injured RB that was on the South All Star Roster. Then he ends up with the MVP 6 carries 101 yds 2 TD's (25 yd and 63 yd rushing TD). Great game by this young man.

Who says he didn't speak the truth and didn't keep it unfiltered. He didn't leave Mt. Vernon to go to Carmel another MIC school. He left Mt. Vernon to coach at the place he played football Warren Central. What he said was probably absolutely the truth, but when Warren Central came open a place he played at himself it probably felt fitting to him to be HC at his dream job. Doesn't mean he was untruthful. Just means something (his dream job) came open at a time that was fitting for him. I don't believe for a second he makes his decisions to make you or anyone else happy for that matter. He makes decisions on what he personally wants to do. Coaching at his Alma Mater I would think would be his absolute dream job.

Yes he could have gotten the break from the grind at MV. Yes he could have missed the grind of the MIC. Honestly who knows. In all honesty no matter how much of a break from the grind a Coach wants, when they have the opportunity to be the Head Coach at their Alma Mater (especially a Alma Mater that is at the highest level) most coaches would jump at that opportunity regardless of circumstances.

I'd say Wheel of Fortune puts him close to GOAT status!

Did you just state @Coach Nowlinisn't high on the athletic scale? 😆 I will have you know his 40 times when he sleeps at night break NFL records!! How dare you doubt this! Even Kenny Powers knows!!

Yes and just as rare for CC to be a P/P to do so in a short amount of time. Which is not unlike Fisher's High School doing so.

Wrong...see Fishers High School under coach Wimmer

I can name more. From Pioneer, North Vermillion, and even another that held many records from Sheridan.

On a side not Tony Dungy's son played football at Park Tudor. I know doesn't fit your agenda It popped up in the cornfield's of Sheridan with the Zachary family.

BTW the best 1A Running Back I have ever watched was Devin Moore (Ritter/Urban). Best running QB/DB was a tie between Nick Zachary (Sheridan/Rural) and Jack Kiser (Pioneer/Rural)
