@hhpatriot04 come on man we could throw Larry Legend in there! lol
Thanks for reminding me to watch the 30 for 30 documentary on Larry Legend. Although a quick YouTube search returned @dawgieinthepound sneaking out of his parents' house to Nat Town to get something that looked like an "American" hotdog smothered in ketchup and ground beef. My great aunt (Carmel native) and late uncle who founded and presided Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati would be disappointed at the lack of sauerkraut and spicy mustard.
Indiana ... home of vice presidents! Back on topic ...
When can we get a three-year superweekend, two games on Friday, two games on Saturday between Indy, Cincy, and Louisville teams in one of the cities each year? Ohio can even have four teams (population), Indiana 2, Kentucky 2. I think FOX Midwest or Sports would definitely want to cover it, just keep it away from ESPN and Herbstreit's forays into HS football.

Forest Park (Ferdinand, Ind.) and Harvard standout TE Ben Braunecker may finally get some targets if Burton is a gameday decision (groin). Braunecker is a standup guy and will have a heck of a career post-NFL, regardless. Just throw him the dang ball this year. He's much more than a special teams and blocking TE. Great hands and has suceeded in subpar HS and college programs.

Indiana: Cathedral, The 500, and Michael Jackson...
Ohio: Moeller, King's Island, and BronBron

Tend to agree in principle. The top of 3A was definitely better than the top of 4A last year. Whether that is the case this year remains to be seen. It’s still way, way early.....
Automatic deference to 4A teams is problematic to me particularly when historic powers in 4A (Cathedral, CE and Dwenger) and the “relatively” new power in 4A (New Pal) are all now in 5A.......4A just ain’t what it used to be. The inference is that the second tier teams in 4A (if 4A was unaffected by the Success Factor) are better than the upper end 3A teams - which hasn’t been the case historically and seems doubly incorrect now in light of the fact that 3A is (or has been the last few years) probably the best class pound for pound.
West Lafayette is likely either at or near the top of this ranking. They lost a hard fought game to 6A Lafayette Jeff who may be a top 10 team in the State.
This loss somehow makes WL 7th in this grouping?
No way.
I find it ironic that in the other thread about the overall rankings it has now (finally) become accepted (even popular) to say that New Pal, as a team almost 1/4 the size of the largest schools in the State, could be the best team in the State (not sure I am there yet this year, personally, but I have argued almost alone in years past that I believed they were the best team in the state - just too early to tell so far) yet we fall back into the same old fallacy that 4A is always better than 3A, 3A is always better than 2A, etc...
Lafayette is north of Marion County and near a certain university with Black and Gold as its colors, right? This southerner doesn't know much about areas which claim to be a part of the Hoosier state north of Westfield! The sprawl is going to make it all the way to Iowa if we don't watch out. Conspiracy.

Hello Community,
I've revived the Indiana High School Football Game Predictor Tool that strictly uses Jeff Sagarin's predictor rating and the option of factoring in homefield advantage. Keep in mind that Sagarin only uses direct data from Indiana teams vs. other Indiana teams (no out-of-state games).
For improvements, please let me know in this thread if you find errors in computation or otherwise or layout or if you have general feature requests/improvements.
Enjoy!
Win probability (percentage) is added.

Beating Jasper may not be a win anymore against a Top 10 team in Class 4A, but it is a quality win and a game that unless you are a top tier team in Class 3A or 4A, you can lose -- especially at Alumni Stadium.
Jasper is a solid opponent and their luck recently in the sectional shouldn't diminish that too greatly. Everything is cyclical. Give the new system time. The stock and bloodlines run deep in Jasper. They are VERY successful in most other boys' sports, football will return to prominence.
Jasper will also benefit in the coming years of attrition from surrounding schools. Many of my classmates and former teammates, for example, work in Jasper. Unlike their parents, they have chosen to live and work in Jasper rather than commute from Spencer County. I would imagine that other school districts are also suffering/benefitting from that phenomenon as well.

Forest Park at Southridge
Gibson Southern at North Posey
Pike Central at Heritage Hills
Tell City at South SpencerShouldn't be too many surprises in the first three games. Will be interesting to see what the Raiders, Titans, and Patriots want to put on tape (maybe a fake punt, onside kick, fake PAT, try some reverses, etc...) ahead of their games which typically decide the conference.
Tell City at South Spencer. If this were at Tell City, I'd be 100 percent behind the Marksmen. Usually South Spencer is dangerous because of 2-3 speedsters who can burn you despite any other issues and they get fired up for home games, especially those against locals like TC, OC, HH, and Boonville. If the Rebel offense finds some firepower, maybe this is interesting?

That’s pretty big news.
I forgot the closed schedules. Brain slip... Regardless let's see how long the new alignments hold.
12 hours ago, 2017statechamps said:Hey 04, if you had to take a guess what 9 teams will HH play next season?
Something like (in some kind of order):
*Mount Vernon
Tell City
*Boonville
Southridge
*Washington
*Gibson Southern
Jasper/Forest Park/other
*Princeton
South Spencer -
Maybe time for Heritage Hills to add Boonville back to the schedule. There were unconfirmed rumors that Tell City would remain on HH's schedule moving forward.
With Jasper taking a bit to adjust to its new coach, HH opening against Mount Vernon, Boonville, Pike Central, and then Jasper before the real PAC schedule starts would be a benefit.
However, if Mater Dei continues to have problems finding a Week 2 opponent, perhaps Heritage Hills and the Wildcats should play again. It's always a tough call when you have a small roster as a 3A school to know when to "upgrade" and when you are risking injury by playing too hard of a SoS early in the season.
Coach Ward is a class act and is the only coach who can say he was the last to beat Coach Clayton in a game where Coach Clayton's nephew gave a gutsy performance as running back with I believe a pulled hamstring.

It would seem so. Jasper went 5-5 in 2016, but 4-5 in 1989. Otherwise they haven't had a losing season since 1955 (1-5-1) - http://almanacsports.com/football/history.php?team=JAS
Reitz and Heritage Hills have also had losing seasons since then.

No one has created a thread for the PAC in the Pick'Em Club. Link:
Here are my Week 1 winners, if anyone decides to create a thread in that forum (or run it here until then ... I have enough on my plate):
Bloomington South (toss-up, I'll take the home team)
Central(swing and bubble passes, nothing between the tackles or more than a three-step drop)
New Albany (says Sagarin)
Memorial (all Tigers)
North (even though it's a road game, the Gibson Southern insiders tell me Princeton was overhyped in local media)
Reitz(don't disappoint me)
Vincennes (interesting, mistake-prone Bosse fights hard but takes the loss)After Week 1
hhpatriot04: 5-2 (forgot Mater Dei's game)
Everyone else ???
Week 2 Picks for hhpatriot 04Clarksville Northeast, Tenn. (no one likes Reitz)
Owensboro (Central of yesteryear has returned and it's going to take a few weeks to figure it out ... still could compete for the SIAC)
Memorial (solid, solid, solid)
Henderson County, Ky. (sorry North, love the coach but you're outmatched here)
Castle (let's have some faith in Paradise)
Terre Haute South (on a roll against the SIAC)
Bosse (Bulldogs +/- turnover differential)
Mater Dei (it's a long drive from Whiting) -
Gordon Engelhardt (https://twitter.com/EngGordon) of the Evansville Courier & Press wrote about this issue affecting Week 1. Interesting insight from coaches.
"It’s about time. Indiana finally joined neighboring Illinois and Kentucky by implementing the mercy rule in high school football. It was utilized immediately, going into effect in eight of the 16 season-opening games Friday night and Saturday afternoon across Southwestern Indiana..."
