Heritage Hills at North Posey - Patriots need to be careful not to look back or forward. Trap game in Poseyville. Good guys win it, but starters have to play longer than desired to secure the win

Pike Central at Forest Park - Rangers

Princeton at Gibson Southern - This could get ugly in the Terrific Toyota Trophy Tilt, 69-0 Titans

Southridge at South Spencer - Raiders control throughout

Springs Valley at Tell City - Marksmen defend the honor of SR 37 with a 37-21 victory (Yes, I know technically IN 37 doesn't go through the towns of French Lick or Tell City ... good time of year to travel through the Hoosier National Forest, though)

I feel this may be the easiest week of the PAC-to-date to predict. I don't see any real surprises in these matchups.

Part of the problem is Pike County is a poor county and a spread out county with only one high school and some families cant afford to get their kids to practice etc...

I think it also is a "Pride" issue. No one wants to play for a team that historically has not been very good. I think they have the athletes in the school, just don't have the school pride.

Not saying you and Jets don't no what you are talking about.......but I said it after the Memorial game, Jasper figured something out in the second half.  Had they run the ball with the fullback more late in the game against SR (last drive), maybe could have seen overtime.  Last week they demolished an over hyped Booneville.  I honestly think that Jasper is going to play this one really tough.  I like the Patriots in this one, but 17 points may be a stretch.

They did run the ball with the fullback on the last drive. The last play of the game actually, and we stuffed them to win. If I were HH, I would focus on stopping #3 (Wood) and you should win the game, no problem.

My apologies - didn't meant to hijack the thread. I'll go crawl back into my hole.

I'll take HH by 17+ 

I'll second that. I don't think this will be too exciting of a game after halftime.

I prefer to listen to 103.3 FM WAXL with @Bcaster and Michael Crews! 

Does it matter who is turning around and handing the ball off 45 times? 

Clearly, it did not matter last week! Just an honest question... not sure it will affect the outcome of the game at all.

I have HH JV playing in the 4th quarter.

Is HH QB healthy this week? I thought I read somewhere that he missed last week's game.

In the PAC...........Yes

 

Yeah, Memorial...they're alright.

Such a shame. He is D1 talent... I hope it was worth it.

That same team also played Memorial. Is Memorial that much better than everyone? 

Oh you mean the back-to-back state finalist Memorial? Yeah, probably are that much better than everyone.

I think maybe my earlier comments about SR are getting confused by some.  I never mentioned Alabama, I never said SR didn't play a tough schedule.  I was originally questioning why SR didn't move into the LED and Tecumseh come into the SED.  That seemed logical to me.  Also, and I am a realist here.......SR will win the SED for years and years and years, and that's fine.  All I was saying was that I felt SR would get more out of playing teams such as MV, and Prin., every year because they have better potential to improve(due to enrollment and numbers), on their schedule.  It is what it is.  Play where you want and who you want.  But SR winning the LED would be an eye opener, SR winning the SED is a forgone conclusion.  IMO

Could they put a success factor within a conference? This biggest issue with this would be having to redo the schedule every so often.

Sounds a little different, but it would be the best football all around IMO.

I've posted this in another thread, but Southridge and Jasper have had the battle for the Golden Goalposts for many years. Although Jasper dominated the series (40-8), Southridge took the last installment of the matchup.

Huntingburg and Jasper first played in 1954, but the first Goal Post game was in 1958 when The Dubois County Herald Newspaper sponsored the trophy.

The trophy symbolizes the Gridiron Rivalry between the two schools separated by less than 10 miles of each other. 

The record may not say so, but there have been some VERY good football games in this series. Due to Jasper joining the SIAC in 2020, there will no longer an opening in their schedule for this game to continue in the years to come.

Who is going to be enough  better competition from the LED for Southridge other than Boonville to be worth moving up? From the information we have seen so far Gibson Southern and Heritage Hills will remain on the schedule. Boonville is just on a high right now and we will see if they can maintain this level. They have only had 8 winning seasons in the last 25 years. In the last 10 years only 5 winning records.

All of them... All of them are better. See 74's comment. What does SR get out of playing the same bad teams year after year and "Winning" a small school conference when they know damn well they can compete in the LED.
GS can agree, i'm sure, but beating teams by significant amounts each week is great for your ranking and record, but what does that help a team come tournament time and you haven't had starters play all 4 quarters all year going into sectional?

I agree with you but I thought that SR was the ones that wanted to be in the SED. I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere on here, just too lazy to look it up. 

I hope that's not true... you would think they would want to play better competition/sectional opponents. Being Southridge and winning the SED is like kissing your sister.

Really hoping Southridge can follow suit and add some tougher games to prepare for sectionals especially with HH and GS in our sectional.. Not a big fan of the Small School division when it comes to strength of schedule and good competition.

Question, will there be 2 PAC conference champions?

You may talking about Rillo our current QB. He is a pass 1st than run kind of a QB. Of course this year he will be running more with the option in the play book. 

He throws a pretty ball, just cant seem to his guys in stride. Almost every throw (with the exception of the one #3 dropped) was thrown under/behind the receiver and they had to wait for the ball to get there.

Grapevine says Jasper is running a wingT? Is that something the new HC has a history of? Or trying to copy HH and Southridge? 

Didn't really look like a wingT to me... was more of a single-back with motion on the edges every play. they ran about 3-4 plays all night it seemed like. Option, FB Dive, and Sweep. they passed the ball a couple times too, but QB couldn't connect with his WR's. Definitely didn't look like the traditional Jasper team.

Saw this link on another post. A lot of history between these two programs! Looking forward to this game tonight. Sad we have to see this rivalry end - Not only for the players, but for the schools and communities as well.

So much history between these two teams, although history shows Jasper has dominated forever, it is always one of the best atmospheres in High School Football. I look for this atmosphere to continue this Friday as this inner-county rival plays it's final game against each other - Since Jasper will be joining the SIAC in 2020.

One last battle for the Golden Goalposts!
