Punttheball

This is a decision made weekly by the HC and OC. We got behind in the scoring against WL by missing an extra point early. Chased the points and got back on track and resumed kicking. Against Pioneer, the decision was based on their ability to score 2 every attempt. Against LaVille, It was determined that they would not be able to stop us from 3 yards out. Andrean???? Better figure out how to score first.

I don't think so. It is sectional finals week for 6a and 5a. 2a will take a backseat for a while.

It just makes sense.

What if the heater was purchased by the football program? Our kicker has a kicking net. It is an net we have purchased by the program. Does both teams need to be provided a kicking net? To me, this is a classic case of the IHSAA over regulating crap that cannot be regulated. I think Bobref is partially right. Regular season all those answers are no. If you move into tournament play, I would say the heater is a no go unless you provide it on both sidelines.

Was the player missing from the Miss/EB game a running back or some other skilled position?

This is a good and fair assessment of what WL does. They beat many HC opponents by talent and numbers. Their schemes on both sides of the the ball are very simple. It is usually enough in the HC and for their state run last year . They were loaded a year ago on defense, and it made for great pressure and run stopping ability. They are still talented up front but not like last year. So, if you can protect your QB, you will shred their secondary because they stay in cover 3 every down. On offense, they run very simple concepts at you fast. If you stop their bubble game and inside zone, they slow down the tempo trying to figure you out. They have a very effective down field attack and if Adams(qb) gets loose, he can run like a deer. Key to beating WL...you must make them punt. You must score when they do punt. You must get turnovers. I have not seen Chatard, so I cannot tell you if it will be a game or not. I do know that WL can have you down quick, and they will not take the foot off the accelerator if they have it rolling.

Fair enough

Painful! Next to the recent WL game, this was one of the best games I have ever been a part of. Mannering had to much confidence in our kicker that year. We converted some plays in the overtime that should not even be possible. We were out of the game early and pulled our way back in. That Andrean team was stacked with talent. Must stop before I throw my computer at a wall.

Honestly, I think most of the complaints come when you drive by 2-3 schools of the same size on your way to a sectional match up.

I don't think many have given BG much of a chance all year to make a solid run in 2A. They are 10-0 and should be given credit for that. Andrean has played a tougher schedule and has won the games they were suppose to and played tough in the other games with strong programs. They have not received enough credit for the record and schedule that they play. According to my sources, this will be a closer game then many believe it to be. It is an exciting match up for 2A football. The 2A north is tough road to go. Good luck to all.

New Prairie, Hobart, and Plymouth are going to be pretty tough outs depending on who makes it out. Northwood is going to be tough also. Many of those teams have played some 5a and 6a competition. Good luck!

I actually think it is better for lower level teams. It gives them some exposure that may not happen otherwise. Also eliminates the referee shortage problem along with not giving some lower rated crews games. Not sure how it affects the big schools, but I think they would like an opportunity to concentrate on the basics again and get guys rest. My 2 cents.

Agree, but we need to get open down field. Campbell, Caine, and Rogers are not getting it done. We are in trouble when we cannot run the ball. TY is doing ok, but is in desperate need of Funchess coming back.

Could not agree more. They run bucksweep very well. Knox is big up front and have a good LB core. This going to be a good one.

More than most schools our size...but they will be full fast. Plenty of fence to stand around.

I have to agree with you Jonesy. The Kings haven't accomplished anything even close to what Pioneer has during state tournament. They have their team at full strength and are ready to get things rolling. They have speed everywhere and a line to go with it.

Nobody knows what they have in game one. Cass is a very different team from that game one match up. This is going to be a great game. I think all of Cass County can agree to that and keep this talk all positive. Just talk up your team and leave the trash out of it as most everyone has. Friday will be here soon enough. Still three days of prep to get ready.

I am not sure you read my post. I asked what happened to Western...not what happened to LCC. Can anyone comment on the Western side of things?

What happened to Western? They were up 20-0 on LCC and lost? I watch them warm up for games and stand in awe of the 30 some lineman they have, and then I look over at our 8-10 depending on the week that Cass has. It is amazing to me.

Love it!

I'm not playing games.

That is not true. Hand full of snaps in gun. Center was not ready for that yet.

I cannot speak as to what level everyone's defense is on or whatever. I can tell you that Cass took a very conservative approach to Tipton. They had three line changes that week... the biggest being the center position. They had to replace a two year starter with a junior that just got converted to center that week. He had never taken a snap in a varsity game as lineman let alone snapped in a game. Let's talk about the in game action. Cass accumulated 100 yards in penalties to Tipton's 0 yards. The timing of penalties were bad. Many were more like 30-40 yard penalties. Twice after big pass plays down field...Cass turns to see a flag dropped at the feet of the QB. Holding penalties that negated the completion. Then dropped back 10 yards to the spot of the foul which then was marked 10 yards from there. Also Cass had an early fumble deep in Tipton's territory. It was not a close 28-7 game. Not arguing if Cass can hang with WL or not, just saying things are not always as they appear. No one on the outside has the full scoop.
