    EC will be rebuilding next season, so assuming they move to 5A.....they will likely take some lumps in the post season. 

    Or reloading :)….  Obviously you aren’t replacing two D1 players aka “cheat codes”. Trojan Nation should be more alarmed at the coaching staff potential losses and weak schedule.    The cupboard for talent isn’t as bare as many would think.  5A also isn’t a death warrant either.  If you go back to the 90s and early 2000s you’ll see quite a few teams which used to be in 4A now in 5A (Columbus East, Seymour, BN, Floyd Central).  And with Chatard back in 4A and Dwenger (they are down this year) 4A may be a meat grinder much more than 5A.

    Worst HS football team I have ever seen. Probably one of the worst football games I have ever seen. No one is better off having coached in it, played in it, or watched it. Except maybe our kicker...I think he got better. Other than than that, this week was a total loss. Three more guaranteed games! 

    You must have watched the EC-Cville game last night.

    Alright. Let's see ec score 100? Why the heck not. Maybe somebody will wake up and get ec a 5a or 6a type schedule next year. Time to move out of the eiac bad boys.

    We could all only hope for a better schedule.  Maybe all the other EIAC schools can get together like Lawrenceburg did a few years back and refuse to play Trojan Nation 🤷🏻.  Oh well - at least this week we aren’t driving to Connertucky. 

  4. In a clash of the unbeaten, under CasketNations lights,TrojanNation charged forth, ready for the fights,Against the Batesville Bullpups, fierce and bold,In an EIAC gridiron story waiting to be told.

    JR15, the maestro of swift, thunderous strides,Mr. Football contender, in EC BLACK he rides,With every step, he echoes a Trojan's call,Ready to conquer, to break down the wall.

    He'll run wild and free, a force to reckon,Leaving the Bullpups in a dust-filled reckon,With each yard gained, the TrojanNation will roar,Ringer's prowess is close to legendary lore.

    Brotherton, the D1 star with hands of gold,Leaps and catches, his story to be told,In the end zone's embrace, he'll find his flight,Securing touchdowns, igniting Trojan Nations delight.

    In the heart of the battle, under the stadium's gleam,Batesville's quarterback faced a challenging dream,Struggled all night, under Trojan's defensive might,As EC Trojans stood tall, their determination took flight.

    Notre Dame's finest faced a relentless storm,Trojan defense fierce, their spirit warm,In the face of pressure, they stood like a wall,Making victory elusive, holding CasketNation in thrall.

    And the Behlmer bullpups, once a force to reckon,Found the old EC offense hard to beckon,Trojan Linebackers relentless, a relentless tide,Their Zintheknee, and ISO/Buck plays repeatedly denied.

    As the game raged on, Trojans showed their might,Building a lead that soared to a staggering height,A 35-point advantage, the scoreboard displayed,Trojan Nation rejoiced, their spirits never swayed.

    The running clock ticked, as seconds flew by,Behlmer bullpups struggled, they couldn't deny,Trojan dominance, a spectacle to behold,Their prowess in EIAC football, a story untold.

    Trojan Nation cheered, their voices rang clear,In the face of an unbeaten, they had nothing to fear,With a 35-point lead, the victory secure,EC Trojans' triumph, of that, they were sure.

    Stinky, Stink, Stink, 1..2..3...

    EC faithful have asked multiple times

    How Stink Town produces D1 talent and not EC! (years past - this year you have two, we know)

    Stink Town has had good teams and not once did they ever underachieve.

    If it's just about state titles then tell us how you feel about Coach Stoney?

    All is good in Stink Town tonight - instead of Tiger BL's - Let's all drink Stoney Lights!

     

    He, his team, and Trojan Nation lost one in 03 due to the worst call in football history.  

    I find it ironic that some of your D1 talent have EC bloodlines 😂.

    85, 85, 85, 1.2..3...

    Your learning to rhyme, but nothing like STC.

    If you really want to know what's important to know

    three crowns indeed and they do glow......

    With that being said, one must ask??????

    haven't you had the talent to win more than that?

    Too much talent and good teams down the drain

    you better hope '23 doesn't fall short like some of your other good teams!

     

     

     

     

    Talent, talent, it's funny, STC say,The Tigers had Parris, who shone in his day,A Hodge winner's honor, a wrestling delight,Yet a state championship remained just out of sight.

    And Craig, on a full ride to Notre Dame's grace,With skills so remarkable, and size to embrace,But the title, alas, remained elusive and grand,Despite their talents, slipping from their hand.

    In the world of sports, where dreams of being EC take their flight,Even with talent aplenty, victory's not always in sight,The Tigers gave their all, in each and every game,But the state championship, for now, stays untamed.

    85 Trojans, 85 Trojans, 85 Trojans 1.2..3...

    You must be upset cause your 85 Team didn't beat ST.

    If you forgot, I can remind thee....In 1985, ST 28 - EC only had a "safety" (2)

    Now we all have slept since that game indeed, but 85, Stink can tell you, he's not worried about EC. 

    85 - It's Labor Day weekend and I am sure you have hit some Stoney Lights, but come on man, your comment about the Bullpups, maybe you are high. Since when did beating the Mardi Gras Invaders make anyone a sectional #31 contender? If that is the standard, then you are right.....but on Stink's drunkest night, he wouldn't type that line.

    1985 Tigers, Forever - 1985 Trojans, Never

    In StinkTownClown and Lawrenceburg's plight,

    East Central football shines so bright,

    Three decades gone, a streak so great,

    Since '85, the Trojans dominate.

     

    With thirty wins, their triumphs clear,

    The Tigers' hopes they did severe,

    Just five for them, a small lament,

    East Central's might, they couldn't prevent.

     

    An average score of thirty-two to ten,

    For East Central, victory once again,

    In the football field, they reign supreme,

    A thirty-year reign, a triumphant dream.

     

    And during that time, it's important to know,

    East Central boasts three crowns with a radiant glow,

    State Championships earned, a remarkable feat,

    While Lawrenceburg's tally remains incomplete.

  8. Appears we had a couple statements made last night in the EIAC.  
     

    JR15 checked a huge box to be a viable Mr Football candidate last night at “Bicknell Stadium”.  To score 6 TDS against Stinktown is one thing, however, to dominate a GCL defense is another!  DM36 might be the third best RB in the conference after last nights performance.  I’m certain he didn’t get his speed from the Senator.

    Belhmers Bullpups just planted a flag to let all of sectional 31 and EIAC small school know the title goes through CasketNation.  I’m sure Rockin Rod hasn’t seen a line that size since the 93 Brickies!  I’d also imagine at some point he was smiling knowing is Old O still has it!

    STC - glad to see those 6 first half TDS are still haunting you.  Maybe you should worry a little less about what’s happening in Trojan country and more about how your Tigers went from being atop in sectional 31 to at least the 3rd best team!

    • Connersville at Richmond
    • East Central at Lawrenceburg
    • Franklin County at New Castle
    • Indian Creek at Batesville
    • Rushville at Milan
    • Shelbyville at Greensburg
    • South Dearborn at Jennings County

    Who do you think comes out on top in these matchups? Off the cuff the 3 matchups that look most interesting to me:


    1. East Central at Lawrenceburg- 4a Defending State Champs and Preseason 4a #1 vs 3a State Runner Up and Preseason 3a #2. East Central returns a ton and Lawrenceburg not so much. Look for EC and Mr. Football Candidate Josh Ringer to take it to the Tigers a little bit in this one.

    2. Indian Creek at Batesville- 3rd meeting in less than a year. They split their meetings last year. Batesville Under Center Ground & Pound v. Indian Creek's Air Raid. Batesville controls the game and pulls away in the 4th quarter.

    3. Shelbyville at Greensburg-The Blue Dragons, I mean Pirates get the Wes Anderson era off to a fast start with a big win riding an impressive running back and that New Pal clone zone running game to a big week one victory. 

    Agree with your picks.  I’ll call Batesville as the EIAC preseason pick for small school conference champ.  I can’t wait to watch Rockin Rods old offense take it to Jr.  Buck, Veers, power I, and Wagel’s heading his way!  
     

    As for the EC vs Lburg game, depends if this pregame speech comes out.  If so, Tigers put a 50 spot on the Trojans ;).

    East Central is 2-0 in State Finals appearances 2017 14-7 over Lowell, 1994 35-0 over Dekalb. Offensively they have 2 terrific RB's in Ringer and Brotherton (both Juniors). IMHO Ringer will be the best athlete on the field between the 2 teams. While the offense is very good the defense is spectacular too. New Prairie has their work cut out for them on both sides of the ball. I look for a 31-14 or 35-14 type of game in favor of East Central.

    This is incorrect…

    They are 2-2.  Losing in 93 (to a great Brickie team) and in 15 (Dwenger).

    Can’t say much, just ran into a better team. Congratulations EC!

    Unfortunately it happens -  great season, great program!  Your D did a nice job containing the explosive plays.  While the Trojans chunked the yardage they weren’t able to hit the home runs they had all season.  
     

    Looking forward to the Rebels next week….

  12. 13 hours ago, TigerFan20 said:

    Thanks for sharing.  “Explosive” might be an understatement when describing #15/#20.  They have yet to be stopped this season and outside of #24 for Moeller (who has offer’s everywhere), they have been the best two athletes on the field (yes better than Hansen from Roncalli).  
     

    EC’s Achilles heel has been turnovers in big games.  Look back to the second half of last years regional matchup as it plagued them in that loss as well (the wide open touchdown pass drop in the end zone didn’t help either 🙂 ).  
     

    Here is my prediction - if East Central runs the ball well (and sticks with the run until it’s stopped) they win by 2-3 TDS.  If Memorial is able to stop the run and put them in passing situations (where the majority of our turnovers have happened  this year), expect a similar game to last year.  
     

    Good luck to both teams!

    Check that. MaxPreps has East Central winning 43-14, while Harrell’s site reports Moeller winning by the same score. Which is it?

    Moeller.  Turnovers killed the Trojans.  
     

    #24 for Moeller will hands down be the best player EC faces all year.  Kid is the real deal - excited to follow where he ends up at the next level!

    East Central's Overall Season

    Offense: 

    Passing: 136 YPG 0.612 CP% 

    Rushing: 220 YPG 6.2 YPC  

    Total: 356 YPG/ 40 PPG

    Defense: 

    Passing (allowed): 123 YPG 

    Rushing (allowed): 99 YPG 

    Total: 222 YPG/ 14.0 PPG 

    Sectional Championship recap: 

    East Central does their East Central thing and dominates the game right off the back. Scoring 21 points in the 1st Quarter, and beating Martinsville 37-7. EC QB Cole Burton had himself a night, going 10/11 136 yards and 2TD passes to WR JR. Aston. However, EC dominated the run game the entire night nearly having 300 rushing yards, with Soph Josh Ringer going for 116 yards and starting where he left off in the sectionals. Defensively, did really well only giving up 1 score to Martinsville and gathering 5 TFL and 4 PDs. Unfortunately for East Central, Senior Starter Defensive/Punter Sam Ringer left the game in the early 4th quarter after a fake punt, we wish him the best in the future. With a regional championship on the line and a potential rematch with Roncalli. EC will be coming out hot Saturday, against their newest Evansville team in the Memorial Tigers at Enlow! 
     

     

    Thanks for the analysis.  I have been impressed with the talented skilled players on the Trojan “O”.  #20 was able to shine with the injury to #15 and was a blessing in disguise for the EC offense (developing another skilled position this year).  At this point, #20 is more dangerous than #15 given what he can do running/receiving. 
     

    Offensively we can score with anyone in the state.  Losing #29 (some rumors floating around ECville is he is considering making an appearance in the game) will really challenge the D.  I’m not sure he missed a tackle all year.  Hoping we can find an athlete to fill his shoes and keep Memorial O at bay.  
     

    No predictions - I saw Memorial play in the state the last few years and saw a hard nosed, athletic, and very disciplined team.  Should give EC everything we want to handle!  Good luck!

    Was a little bored last night and I was looking at programs that I generally call "South of the Indy Metro Area".  Bloomington, Columbus, Evansville, Jeffersonville, SE Indiana and all points in between.

    On a previous thread there was talk about program strength and tradition.

    I decided to take a look and ranked them on State Titles, Runner Ups, Sectionals and I threw in Mr. Footballs as a last tie breaker.

    I looked at playoff era only.

    I noticed a couple of things:

    1.  If Gibson Southern were to win this year, it really speaks to the turn around in the program Nick Hart has done.  All of the other winners from the South have at least 10 sectionals to their credit, indicating consistant winning.  GS only has four and NH has all of them.  I hope they get it.

    2.  Long droughts - 27 years since last state title appearance for Castle and 20 for Jasper.  Also Jasper longest sectional title drought for those who have won state titles.

    3.  Memorial - The Hurley success has allowed Memorial to really jump to the top.

    Outside of the 70’s, Lawrenceburg football hasn’t been relevant (until a few years ago).  I am biased but I don’t  think anyone in the SE part of the state looks at them as a “power program”.  I know your numbers support it but top two is far fetched IMO.  The Lburg HC/AD went after the EC HC job a few years ago for a reason 😂.

    Maybe 4A is still more wide open that I originally thought?  Heard East Central got a lot of breaks but if I’m Mooresville, Leo, Hobart, Jasper, Chatard, or Mt. Vernon, I woke up a bit more confident this morning.

    Not sure of any breaks last night but they played without one of their best offensive weapons (most of the season).  It was a tie game for 3/4 and could have went either way.  
     

    At the end of they day no one at EC cares about regular season records, rankings, or conference championships.  We need to get out of sectionals and the opponent in round two has been our Achilles heel.
