Branden Braun played only one half for Jennings County. He had 21 carries for 281 yards and 6 TDs. Edgewood couldn’t stop the run to save their life. First postseason win for Jennings County in seven years.

Jennings County 46 Edgewood 21 Final

Jennings County 46 Edgewood 7 Halftime Is BNL not playing well?

Still need week 10 picks from @LawrenceGreene, @Owls2005, @Uncle Bubba, @billybob, and @Bulldog15

Edgewood (2-7) at Jennings County (4-5) BNL (6-3) at Evansville Harrison (1-8)

I don’t think there is. Haven’t noticed any fans of those other teams this year except for the few and far between times Jennings County fans post in the Hoosier Hills Conference thread.

You’re not wrong about that

Weird. Not sure how I missed out on it then.

Loved Coach Bland. He was an assistant football coach, P.E. teacher, and a weightlifting teacher during my first three years at East. He was also my sprint coach at East on the track team. Absolutely hated when he left. Senior year of track wasn’t the same. The whole tone changed.

Where else would you put them in this hypothetical scenario?

To be fair, it makes sense why they’re in the same sectional with Eastern Greene if you look at a map pinpointing all current 1A schools.

Just out of curiosity, how long has this term been in use? It’ll be 17 years next May since I’ve been in high school. Not saying you are wrong or anything. If it was in use by the IHSAA at the time, I’m just surprised that the term wasn’t used by my team and coaches and that it was never used in any conversations I had with opponents or overheard when I participated.

@Bullhorn99 is correct although I never heard the term “seeding” used to assign lanes. I guess it’s technically not incorrect because it is indeed a seeding of sorts. Just wasn’t a term that was used.

@Just a dad Just a heads up but I noticed Carroll was listed as Carmel in sectional 2.

Thanks!

This week’s games (week 10 - sectional quarterfinals): Edgewood (2-7) at Jennings County (4-5) BNL (6-3) at Evansville Harrison (1-8) Notes -This will be the first time ever Jennings County and Edgewood have played. -This will be the fourth meeting ever between BNL and Evansville Harrison. Ironically, every game has been in the first round of sectionals. Harrison won at home in 1990, BNL won at home in 1991, and Harrison won at home in 1993. The road team has always lost so hopefully BNL bucks that trend.

I’ll just go ahead and say it. Northern Indiana has better depth than southern Indiana when it comes to football. That’s not to say southern Indiana doesn’t have good teams but we don’t have as many of them. For whatever reason, it’s most evident at the 3A level (real or hypothetical) right now.

I’m not aware of any sport seeding the teams/participants except for wrestling. Unless something has changed since my high school days in the mid-2000s, I was on the track team and we never had seeding for any meets (regular season or postseason).

@Just a dad Great job on your work here. Even though I didn’t touch on 6A, I’m curious as to how it looks on Calpreps.

I’m going to say no.

Calpreps really likes Valparaiso

Wasn’t referencing anyone’s post in particular. The conversation steering away to the idea of a 32 team 1A had me intrigued and I wanted to see what that would look like. Now we know. As far as dividing up 2A through 5A evenly then that would mean three of the classifications would have 62 teams and one would have 61 teams. Wouldn’t bother me if that happened. I just based this hypothetical scenario as closely as possible to the reality of how everything is currently set up. I wanted the numbers to look similar and not look radically different. I just based this hypothetical on the current parameters we already have in place. The only change I made was the number of teams in 1A and 5A. I agree with your point to an extent but there are some privates who stink and I wouldn’t want to unfairly disadvantage them. Just like no two public schools are created equal, no two private schools are created equal. See Hammond Noll for instance and compare them to Chatard. Like night and day. I just did this because I thought it’d be fun to look at. While I would prefer a 32 team 1A and a 63/64 team 5A (because I think there’s a bigger discrepancy in 1A between the haves and have-nots), I’m also not going to be upset if things don’t change.

Southport @ Indianapolis Tech Jeffersonville @ Columbus North Whiteland @ Terre Haute North Franklin @ Terre Haute South Bloomington South @ Bloomington North

I completely agree with this and I have no ties to either school. South has been more impressive to me this year than North. I think South will beat them by 10+ points.

This will be interesting
