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.

Looks like Seymour at Brownstown Central and New Albany at Bloomington North are still on for tonight. The Jackson Bowl can be watched live on YouTube. The link below was posted on the SEYMOUR ATHLETICS (@SEYMOUROWLS1) Twitter/X account. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dbnKhXiPcDw

BNL at Jennings County will be played at 4 PM tomorrow. Silver Creek at Jeffersonville will be played at 5 PM tomorrow.

Still need week 6 picks from @SPARKS

Week 6 Picks BNL (0-5, 0-3 HHC) at Jennings County (0-5, 0-2 HHC): How ironic that the two conference games this week will likely decide who gets first place and who gets last place. Neither the Stars nor the Panthers have been good this year. As a matter of fact, they’ve both been awful. So how does one decide who wins a game like this? Personally, I look at common opponents played. New Albany is the only one. BNL lost to them 22-12. JC lost to them 33-7. I also look at total points scored and total points given up. BNL is at 31 and 199, respectively, while Jennings County is at 38 and 234. When you consider BNL has played Martinsville and Bloomington North while JC has played no team better than Columbus East, it makes this an easy decision. The Stars win. BNL leads the series 44-7 and has won 7 straight. BNL has also won 10 straight at Jennings County (last loss was in 2002). Columbus East (3-2, 3-0 HHC) at Floyd Central (3-1, 2-0 HHC): The Highlanders have gotten off to slow starts the last couple weeks and didn’t even put Silver Creek away until the second half three weeks ago. The key for the Olympians will be to put the pedal to the metal from the start and not let up. While I think that’s possible, I don’t think it’s probable. Floyd Central has more talent and is the better coached team. Columbus East leads the series 31-17 but the Highlanders are looking to win three straight for the first time since 2001-2003. New Albany (3-2) at 5A #7 Bloomington North (4-1): This is a get-right game for the Cougars after a poor showing at Terre Haute North last week (a 24-14 win nonetheless). As for the Bulldogs, they’re 3-0 against winless teams and 0-2 against 5A teams. Even worse, this is their toughest opponent of the season. Easy pick here. Bloomington North leads the series 7-3 and has won the last five. New Albany’s last win was in 1982. Seymour (2-3) at 2A #2 Brownstown Central (5-0): This rivalry game can be a tricky one to pick as some bad Seymour teams have beaten good Brownstown Central teams over the last decade and a half. I think this game could be much closer than people expect. The Braves have lost the last two games in the series so I’m anticipating they’ll really be motivated to win this one. I’ll go with them just based on my gut even though my gut has been wrong picking them before. The Owls lead the series 14-9. Silver Creek (3-2) at Jeffersonville (3-2): These teams have played one common opponent thus far, Floyd Central. The Dragons played them much tougher in the end than the Red Devils did. However, their two games since then weren’t very inspiring (a 13-7 win at Eastern and a 14-0 home loss to Scottsburg). As for Jeff, you have to think they’re motivated to get a win after a poor second half last week. I also think this could be a close game but I’ll take Jeffersonville. The all-time series is tied 3-3.

Thanks for the explanation. I have literally never heard that term before. I thought you had an autocorrect issue or a typo. 😂

Never bet on what? I’m not understanding what you’re saying.

BNL at Jennings County has also been moved to Saturday. No word on the time yet.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you guys are in a moderate drought like the rest of us in the conference.
