Yeah the pass defense has been a bit soft

29 yard TD pass by East. Floyd leads 42-21 with 2:53 left in the third.

Villarreal fumbles it away on the East 2 yard line. Three plays later, Floyd Central’s QB punches it in from the 1 and it’s 42-14 with 5:22 left in the third.

1 yard QB keeper for a TD by Floyd Central. They lead 35-14 with 7:14 left in the third.

Might be the one I keep hearing 😂

There has been a lot of screaming and curse words flying from the Floyd Central fans. Some of the penalties have definitely been legit but I can’t confirm if all of them have.

BNL up 49-0 on Jennings County at the half. New Albany up 20-10 on Silver Creek at the half. Brownstown up 49-7 on Seymour at the half.

Floyd up 28-14 at the half. They’ve had a ton of penalties but Villarreal is also getting beat up by them.

Villarreal with a 39 yard TD pass for East. Floyd leads 28-14 with 46 seconds left in the half.

47 yard TD run by Floyd Central. They lead 28-7 with 2:46 left in the half.

32 yard TD pass on 4th and 14 by Floyd Central. 21-7 with 6:08 left in the half.

1 yard QB keeper by Villarreal and East cuts the Floyd lead to 14-7 with 7:44 left in the half.

BNL up 21-0 on Jennings County at the end of the first quarter

Robinson with a 7 yard TD run and it’s 14-0 with 1:05 left in the first quarter.

28 yard TD pass by Floyd Central. 7-0 with 8:14 left in the first quarter.

The only thing I differ with you on is that I’m taking Terre Haute South over Northview in a close one.

Week 6 Picks 5A #10 Floyd Central (4-1, 2-0 HHC) at Columbus East (3-2, 3-0 HHC): This is the 50th meeting between these two teams. As I’ve stated for the last three weeks, Columbus East’s defense stinks and that’s backed up by the fact they gave up 28 points last week against a New Albany team whose previous high was 14 in week 1 against a 1A team. In the three weeks after that, the Bulldogs scored a whopping total of 3 points. Therefore, if the Highlanders don’t feast on East then they don’t deserve an HHC title. Floyd Central wins by at least 21. The Olympians lead the all-time series 32-17. The Highlanders will attempt to win their second straight at Stafford Field since winning four straight from 1996-2003. Jennings County (2-3, 0-1 HHC) at BNL (4-1, 3-0 HHC): The Panthers’ biggest loss of the season was 44-0 at Beech Grove in week 2. I think we’ll see a similar score this week as their secondary is no match for the BNL aerial attack. The Stars make quick work of JC by having a running clock and winning big. BNL leads the series 45-7 and has won 8 straight. They have also beaten the Panthers 5 straight at home with the last loss in 2015. Bloomington North (2-3) at Jeffersonville (2-3): These two meet for only the third time ever as the Cougars won each leg of a home-and-home in 2009 and 2010 by 28 points. Both teams have played BNL which resulted in a 9 point Bloomington North win and a 21 point Red Devil loss. That 30 point swing is enough to convince me the Cougars stay unbeaten against Jeff. Bloomington North wins. 2A #2 Brownstown Central (5-0) at Seymour (0-5): This is the 25th edition of the Jackson Bowl and, for a second straight year, the Braves come into the game as the #2 team in 2A. Brownstown scored their first shutout victory in the rivalry last year and I believe they are very capable of doing the same this year. The Owls’ defense has really struggled this year as they’ve given up 36.6 points per game. Meanwhile, Brownstown’s offense leads the state with 61.6 points per game. Unless Seymour’s offense can somehow keep pace (they average a meager 15 points per game), we’re looking at a running clock this year. The Braves win big. Seymour leads the series 14-10. New Albany (0-5) at Silver Creek (1-4): Surprisingly, this is the first ever meeting between the Bulldogs and Dragons. Both teams have looked pretty bad through five weeks and Silver Creek’s one win doesn’t hold much weight considering how bad Eastern (Pekin) is. New Albany has played the tougher schedule though as Silver Creek is their first opponent with a losing record. It could be a close one but I’m taking New Albany.

Week 6 Schedule 5A #10 Floyd Central (4-1, 2-0 HHC) at Columbus East (3-2, 3-0 HHC) Jennings County (2-3, 0-1 HHC) at BNL (4-1, 3-0 HHC) Bloomington North (2-3) at Jeffersonville (2-3) 2A #2 Brownstown Central (5-0) at Seymour (0-5) New Albany (0-5) at Silver Creek (1-4) Let’s see if we have enough time to get picks from everyone. I know it’s kind of tight. @boilerfan87 @Fkfootball @gonzoron @Goose10 @Impartial_Observer @LC_Bears_04 @mamasa

If we can bring in Bloomington South and Columbus North it would definitely be stronger.

I would be for it. Unfortunately, the top half of 4A being moved up to 5A probably wouldn’t like it because of the “size disparity”.

I think it’s true for New Albany at least. It’s not the worst East team ever. 1997 and 1998 were the darkest of days.

To give you some perspective, I have a friend on the varsity coaching staff of one of the teams East plays annually. When he watched tape of East, his exact words were “East looks worse than ever in my opinion.”

If you guys don’t win by 21+ then it’s not a result of us being good. It’s a result of Floyd Central playing down to their competition.

I will admit I underestimated the o-line and d-lines. When I saw them in person for the first time this season against Jennings County, I was like, “Well I was wrong. These boys are bigger than they looked in photos/videos and definitely bigger than what we’ve had in the past.” However, bigger doesn’t mean better. Experience also doesn’t mean better. And Lawson is a good WR but he also needs the ball more. However, he’s also skinny. Having said all this, don’t let your eyes deceive you. This isn’t a good team. They may look good against Jennings County and they may put up points against Seymour and New Albany but, against a quality opponent, they’re overmatched. Hate saying it since I love my school but I have to be honest. They stink. Hopefully they can prove me wrong but I have seen them play twice (once in person) and I have listened on the radio and seen the stats/scores of their games. They’re a 3rd or 4th place team in the HHC. Right now, I think Jeff beats them.

The schedule will be up every Tuesday evening so the slacker AP poll can be included for rankings accuracy purposes.
