Frozen Tundra

After the safety, Franklin Central received the ball and put a nice drive together. Went around 90 yards. They capped it off with a short run for the TD. Franklin Central 9, Fishers 0 1:28 left in the first quarter

After a 3 and out by Franklin Central, Fishers goes 3 and out but snaps the ball over the punter’s head. He recovers it in the endzone but steps out the back as he’s about to get smashed. Safety. Flashes lead 2-0 with 8:13 left in the first quarter.

Still need week 7 picks from the following: @Fkfootball @mamasa @Owls2005

Week 7 Picks Floyd Central (3-2, 2-1 HHC) at BNL (1-5, 1-3 HHC): The Stars come into this game on a high after their first win of the season while the Highlanders enter coming off the low of their first conference loss of the season. This doesn’t bode well for BNL as Floyd Central looks to get back on track by taking all of their anger and frustration out on them. FC wins easily. The Highlanders have won 5 out of the last 6 and lead the series 30-24. Jennings County (0-6, 0-3 HHC) at Seymour (2-4, 1-3 HHC): Not much to say here. The Panthers are by far the worst team in the conference and have somehow gotten worse as the season has progressed. Seymour should win easily. This rivalry has taken a backseat ever since the Jackson Bowl was brought back 17 years ago, and for good reason. The Owls lead the all-time series 48-10 and have won the last 9 games. New Albany (3-3, 2-1 HHC) at Jeffersonville (4-2, 2-1 HHC): Speaking of rivalries, this one is much older and much better than Jennings County/Seymour. The Bulldogs are coming off a couple blowout losses and their HHC record is a bit misleading given who they’ve played thus far. The Red Devils will be motivated to keep themselves in the HHC title race and, along with their superior talent, should be able to pull out a win. Almanac Sports doesn’t have a complete history of this rivalry as there are several gaps in their database for both teams. However, based on what they have on record, New Albany leads 42-41-2 going back to 1923. The Bulldogs have won the last 3 games in the series. #6/#9 Bloomington North (5-1) at Columbus East (4-2): When the Cougars are on their A-game, they’re a very difficult team to beat. However, this team has struggled with consistency, with their lone loss to a 2-4 Mooresville team and a couple unimpressive wins against the Terre Haute schools which are a combined 2-9. If the Olympians can contain Bloomington North’s mobile QB and be able to move the ball downfield like they have the last three weeks, I think this is a very winnable game for them. Nevertheless, I’m going the safe route here and picking the Cougars as East hasn’t won a non-conference game in four years. The Olympians lead the all-time series 12-6 but Bloomington North has won the last two games.

I hope it is Shelbyville. They definitely need a change.

I know Martinsville has shrunk by nearly 200 over the last few cycles and dropped from 5A to 4A. Wasn’t sure if that was expected to continue or if they’ve flattened out.

Nope

I’m really curious who that would be. Mooresville? Martinsville? Or are those schools too big?

It would only be good if athletics gets better as a whole. Right now, we pretty much stink across the board. Aside from wrestling, is there really any sport right now we’re great at?

Keep your eyes and ears open. On Wednesday, October 9, Greenwood will have a school board meeting and will discuss their future conference affiliation. If they decide to leave the Mid-State, and the Mid-State decides to fill Greenwood’s spot, that opens the door for more realignment. Bloomington North and Columbus East applied for membership a few years ago only for the eighth spot to be given to Perry Meridian. Would the two apply again? Should be interesting to see how it all goes down.

Week 7 Schedule Floyd Central (3-2, 2-1 HHC) at BNL (1-5, 1-3 HHC) Jennings County (0-6, 0-3 HHC) at Seymour (2-4, 1-3 HHC) New Albany (3-3, 2-1 HHC) at Jeffersonville (4-2, 2-1 HHC) #6/#9 Bloomington North (5-1) at Columbus East (4-2)

Yeah I’m not going that far. I appreciate your confidence but it would probably be 42-7 at best. North isn’t just on another level. They’re on three other levels.

Yeah if it wasn’t evident already the HHC is pretty bad then the fact East is looking to go 6-0 in it is all the proof we need. I can believe that they have improved since the beginning of the season but Bloomington North this week will be the true test as to how much they’ve improved. Based on the first two weeks, the gap was a huge one and I doubt we’ve closed that huge of a gap. Nevertheless, I’ll be excited to win the HHC (if we can beat Jeff) because I never thought it was possible and we haven’t won it in four years. Little steps here and there I suppose. Hopefully we can build on it.

HHC Pick ‘Em Standings (after week 6): @SPARKS 26/29 @LC_Bears_04 25/29 @Bluejacket1 24/29 @boilerfan87 24/29 @Bulldog15 24/29 @Fkfootball 24/29 @Frozen Tundra 24/29 @gonzoron 23/29 @Uncle Bubba 23/29 @mamasa 21/29 @Owls2005 21/29 @Impartial_Observer 20/25

Oh I know but Bloomington North is really good when they’re on their A-game.

Hopefully we get the Bloomington North team that lost to Mooresville and struggled with Terre Haute North.

Jeffersonville 33 Silver Creek 8 Final

BNL 41 Jennings County 14 Final

East might have just sealed it. Up 27-14 with Floyd Central at the 3 yard line on a 4th and goal. The pass into the endzone was intercepted and returned 102 yards for a touchdown. East leads 34-14 with 6:01 left. Really kicking myself for not picking East in this game. I was strongly considering it.

East leads 21-14 at the end of the third I’ve been listening on the radio. Floyd Central has struggled moving the ball but East keeps leaving the door open for them. It’ll be an interesting fourth quarter.

East leads 14-7 at the half

Brownstown Central 27 Seymour 0 Final

The New Albany at Bloomington North game was postponed to tomorrow at 1 PM.
