Is Coach Hart still there?

I ranked Memorial No. 1 in 4A at the start of last year and was mocked. I'm not sure the Tigers have the weapons (or possibility b/c COVID) to make another deep run, but how do you think they stack up in the SIAC? Still the team to beat until they're beat, I'd say.

Time to put this in electronic form and sell it online!

No idea how the cancellations will affect the rankings. Out-of-state games were never counted, but now it will take until Week 5-6 for all teams in the state to be "connected" and Sagarin's ratings to be relevant, IMO.

Do away with Indiana's silly travel rule while we're at it. Just write "so long as the athletic competition doesn't interfere with scholastics anymore than our state tournament currently does..." How many regional and semistate and some regular season competitions force our student athletes to leave before school lets out on Friday. This is permitted because the IHSAA expects the school to require the student athletes to make up that missed class work. Make the same rule for inter-state play... put a limit on the number of interstate games per season, unless you have a border school that plays in a surrounding state's conference and isn't affected by the travel.

That's a bit ambitious. Mount Carmel played in the now dissolved Big 8 as the only Illinois team for two decades (or so). They are a very good 2A team or a solid 3A team (think Southridge). Some years they have gone on state runs in Illinois but they play in a very small class in Illinois. Playing either Cathedral or Chatard would result in a blowout and possibly be dangerous. For a good midstate comparision I'd say they're similar to Indian Creek?

Arent' there NCAA recruiting reasons why this doesn't happen more? Also I think Cathedral plays once or twice at UIndy. Sadly there are no college football stadiums in Evansville since 1997, although historic Bosse Field (baseball) has been used to host games a few times recently on special occasions.

I heard at the HH-Jasper scrimmage all HH players were on a knee on the sideline (tradition so spectators can see); however, this year they were also spaced more than 1 meter/yard apart. Not sure that the Wildcats were as disciplined. 😞

Ahh Patriot Pride. Given HH's success in football, I don't know how many head coaches they have... Burress - NP Wilkerson - H.Hills Alex Bettag - THN (not a head coach maybe DB coach or def coordinator?) I might be missing some. Is Coach Ashworth still up floating around the IPS?

This isn't the former HH player/grad Ryan Burress, is it?

Best DT prospect since Ryan Baker? Chatard '04, ND commit turned to Purdue, emphasis on prospect because he didn't have the greatest NFL journey but still can say he made a roster. Apparently he was also a co-captain while at PU.

I am thinking of using Sagarin's ratings to show the percentage that Team A beats Team B (perhaps with a guessed score and future projections using scoring averages)... Any interest in that? Also, does anyone have a degree in statistiics or finite math? If so, please message or post here.

Congrats Memorial. Your program has always been respected by Patriot Nation. Sad to see we won't match up anytime soon. It is what it is. Thank you for justifying me ranking the Tigers as No 1 in TGD most of the season.

Go Tigers. Lots of support from Patriot Nation for our Pocket, SW Indiana, brethren.

So do you only support the "good" Chatard classes? The game I watched was two physical teams, with similar philosophies, going head to head. HH was outmatched by not intimidated. This generation hadn't seen what it takes to beat Chatard, particularly without a passing game. Since you asked, I will enjoy my holiday season from Iraq (non military). I hope you enjoy yours and I'll definitely miss my family in Santa Claus and Carmel --Cathedral and Chatard graduates included.

The holding calls, and their frequency, seemed to rub fans on both sides the wrong way. I listened to the game, so I didn't see the plays and shouldn't judge.

Congratulations Chatard. It was a physical game and even more so when your receiver went out. Chatard did an excellent job of taking Sigler and HH special teams out of the conversation. Nothing but respect from Lincoln City to 56th Street. Competing against Chatard is a privelege and I guarantee in the coming years that we will meet up again.

No need to delete. We will keep it up, because a lot of folks are traveling in Indiana righ بt now and probably have the same question.

No problem for heritage Hills fans or former players who fault Chatard for throwing the ball up by three TDs. As someone who played against Chatard teams far better than this iteration, there are no hard feelings. The Trojans deserved it. The Patriots will be back and beat Chatard by multiple TDs. We won't cry or make excuses. Just get better.. Non HH players and alumni need to shut up because you couldn't make it through a single HH practice. Congrats to Chatard.

No complaints. As a Patriot, if you can't stop it you deserve whatever the opposing team serves. It was a loss, we'll move on and be better. No crying or excuses. Weight room next week.

It was a wise call. No complaints from HH. Great play calling.

Congratulations to Chatard for winning the championship. Heritage hills gave all they had and we are proud of that. But never satisfied without the win. Until next time.

It's over. Chatard, congratulations on another state championship. You were the better team, today.

HH responds or dies here.

Yeah. Patriot Nation doesn't care. And I don't believe you represent Bishop Silas Chatard High School. We've heard it all before and have always met Chatard's physicality. It will be an interesting game. Bring all the statistics you want, the Patriots will be ready to play. I sure hope the Trojans starting 22 have the same mindset as you.
