Some forum members are terribly disappointed these games are still scheduled. These people wish all schools were closed and cheer for maximum death and misery. They hope some medications fail. They want the economy in turmoil. Any perceived bad news is good news to them. Threads are eagerly started when any cancellation occurs.

Bro, if you're going to drink a case of white claws before commenting on someones post. Please know what your referencing a quote to. Because my post has nothing to do with the BS political climate. Please stick to football related context, updates, stats and my favorite the joyful banter. My statement was meant for anyone hurt over my week 1 predictions.

Looks like Laville's senior quarterback announced on Twitter that he tore his MCL and possibly meniscus in practice and will potentially be finished for the season.

Terrible news! Hope he recovers quickly. Edit my prediction to Bremen +14

Well then lets get this thread going...Coaches/fans if you need a tissue their in aisle 13 at Walmart

Laville  I didn't see much from the St. Joseph scrimmage to give Bremen the edge traveling to Laville. Laville +7

Glenn over Boone Grove- I'm going with the Falcons for this one. SC couldn't move the ball on their starting D. Lets see if they can continue that into week 1. 

Special teams is Key here. Glenn was torched for 2 big returns last year.+28

Michigan City- The pack proves to be too strong for the interim coach and his Cats. Wolve's Defense holds Riley to under 7 if they even score. Don't see them putting up too many points this year with their archaic offense. Wolves Pack the box. +30

Marian - last year was a sloppy mud bowl. Marian's speed will be too much to handle on the offensive side with Atkinson and #25. Marian by +17.

ADAMS - Adams avenges their 0-10 season with the battle for School Field bragging rights. The seat cools down for Jones for one week. Eagles soar past the declining Panthers. Positivity doesn't win games  +28

Osceola Grace - No offense to the NIC. I'm going with the non IHSAA member here. OG by +7

Heritage Christian 12-2 last season. The shoes haven't been filled since the Downey Era. St. Joe loses this Crusade by +14

Valpo - 4 loss season for Penn last year. I don't see much changing this year. Valpo +14

New Prarie- NP offense line will be too much for Laporte to handle. NP +21

After watching the Knox/Tippey Scrimmage. If Knox's QB could dial it in and not throw it to the other team. Radke's run dominant offense should carry them to a sectional title. Their line seemed to be clicking for having such a limited summer. Must be those LOOOONNNG practices.

Any more news around the county from people at the actual scrimmages?

Heard Clay Scrimmaged Bowman Academy and they did well.... but it’s Bowman Academy

Bremen/St. Joe- besides the typical from above. I heard St Joe dropped a ton of passes? RB looked explosive for the Indians? 

Any News from the Adams/Plymouth Camp? Did Adams come out running the rock? Defense still rocky?

Riley/West Noble- any news? Rumors are the cats looked declawed? 

 Wash/Mishawaka- besides seeing  Wash scoring on Mishawaka JV. Anyone have positive news from the West Side? I’m hearing only 24 players in the program? 

Glenn/(South Central?)- from a few parents that made it to the game. They stated SC couldn’t get things going. Glenn looked good on O. Is the triple option alive and well in the tri-county with a Junior QB?   

Cant wait to see the results of week 1

A lot of passing. A ton. Backs have speed but not size. OLine is undersized but athletic.

So nothing has changed since last season.

What about teacher/coaches posting here during school hours all day long... is that being a good steward of our tax $ ?

Who cares....Not all coaches are teachers nor administrators. Do you want the $1.48 you might contribute to that particular teachers/coaches yearly salary back? Don't be hypocritical people answer texts, emails and social media content when they are on the clock in every profession. This isn't 1990 when you had to walk to the pay phone in the schools lobby to call home, lol.

I am an optimistic person by nature, however, I have to be honest at this point I see no point in trying to have a season. If as little as a single positive test shuts down all sports (I saw where Ohio set the rule that all participants (players, coaches, officials) are to be tested within 72 hours of each game.  Any positive test cancels the game and appears to result in quarantine of all participants), what is the point?

Newsflash - there are going to be positive tests for the foreseeable future. Without a vaccine, COVID-19 will not be going anywhere. I just wish people could accept this and either decide to stop everything completely, or learn to live with it and continue on. The continuous starting - stopping - starting - stopping is absurd.

Even with a vaccine it's not going anywhere. Tuberculosis has been killing 1.5 million people a year with a vaccine. But no one is freaking out about it.

NO comment on Clay?  Enough said.  Weird not seeing Mishawaka

 

Clay- If they can get all 11 players on the field consecutively and shy away from the Diamond formations with the NCAA 14 routes. They could possibly challenge Riley. 1-9...

With a week away from start of Fall camp how do things look in the North and South assuming we get to start?

North does Penn take back the Crown?

Does Elkhart show they can be a force as the big dog?

New coach keep NP running new the top?

Can Marian move to north and make some noice?

Any others ready to make a move and win more games?

In the south who will take over from NP and Marian winning almost every NIC South title?

Can a SB school rise to top?

Bremen rebound?

Jimtown finally out of shadow of Marian and NP?

Glenn ready to be a team to compete?

Lets see if we can get some talk on here. 

Football is finally here!! With that being said....

I don't see a South Bend School going .500 this year...

Adams- Ira was their entire offense last year. I really didn't see anyone that will fill his shoes in the passing game. Their Defense is suspect. 2-3? different D-Coordinator changes last year? They wont be able to compete with the likes of Elkhart and potentially 2-3 through the first 5 games. Riley wont be any competition for them this year and St. Joe could be their second win. Jones is going to have to do something he isn't use to doing and that's running the ball.

Riley- Old Marian JV coach at the helm now. Nothing exciting coming from last years younger kids. They still have a Luuga and Lee.  I don't see them winning more then 3 games. Maybe Washington, Bremen...Clay could potentially beat them this year.  I see them reaching deep in to Reggie Glon's old playbook and trying to run the rock. Hopefully they have more wins then the coach's Podcast does listeners.

Washington- loosing 22 seniors is going to hurt. Will see how this coach can develop players. It wont be as easy as getting handed a deep senior class. Will he use his inside edge and pull a few kids from Jefferson away from Jones/Adam's. Time will tell. Week1 determine if how their season will go playing a weak Hammond Team. Elkhart week 5? Who scheduled that match-up😨. Being one dimensional is going to cause them a bit of trouble. 

Jimtown- Solid team with a new coach at the helm.  QB is suppose to be a player. They might cause some trouble for the South Teams. Jimtown has a good shot at winning the South Crown.

Bremen- believe their QB is a Junior. He didn't look too bad last year. They're losing a solid TE who played both ways. Bremen won't be much of a threat this year but will find some success against the South Bend Schools. 3-4 win season.

Glenn- losing 15 seniors. They lose a solid DT and a SS. QB is a junior and a two year starter. Is this the year he puts it all together? Can the Tri-County school cause some fits for Jimtown...St. Joe? Glenn soars past Washington, Clay and Riley. Heard Glenn's freshmen JV team beat Riley's 56-0? last year. Glenn could be a big surprise. Time will tell.

St. Joe- a few question marks here. Whose going to fill in for their RB. Are they going to run 3x1 and flare the rb to the trips side for 25 plays? We will see how creative the playbook has gotten with all this time off.  .500 team.

NP- Radke's gone...Will they continue with their  one dimensional offense or start utilizing some more pass plays. They won't be able to compete with Elkhart and PENN if they continue with the heavy run game.

Marian- They won't have the success in the regular season as they did last year. Key loses Penn, Elkhart, Lima Central and NP. They should have no issues with Bremen but Whiting is a toss up.  They have a solid RB in #25 and the QB isn't too shabby. Their offensive line is questionable for the North conference. We will see if they pulled any talent from the surrounding area.

PENN- Did the pandemic help PENN in keeping some players from sneaking over to Edwardsburg? If Laporte is unable to play week 2. Penn could open up 0-3 again...Valpo, Cathedral and St. Xavier. Three tough match ups for a big school who lacks talent in the skill positions. 

Elkhart- Will this be the bigger and better Penn of the 90's? Talent at all the skill positions with decent size. This could be the team to finally put the North on the map down South. They could vary easily go undefeated into the sectionals. Again, South Bend Washington 3A with 700 students. Hopefully Elkhart puts in their JV team. No offense to Washington.

New Prairie at Riley, 7:30 pm
Clay at Culver Academy, 7 pm
Logansport at St. Joseph, 7 pm
Tippecanoe Valley at Washington, 7 pm
Garrett at Jimtown, 7:30 pm
Lakeland at Marian, 7 pm
West Noble at Glenn, 7 pm
Manchester at Bremen, 7 pm

Some familiar match-ups and some that only happen in a sectional Tournament time is starting .......

Central...Adams has 0.0001 percent chance of winning. 

NP - Their won't be any mud to slow NP push. NP 55-Riley 7

CMA - Time for a revamp at Clay. Kids still not knowing where to line up and coaching staff still sending out 12-13 players multiple times during a game.

ST. Joe? 

Wash....Wash has some players hurt but I believe Tippey had 2 players ejected last game.

Jimtown by 7

Marian easy 

Glenn in a tough battle by 3

Bremen by 14

CMA over Bremen

Jimtown - 42-0

NP over Central 20-13

Mishawaka over Penn 21-20

Glenn 21-14

Toilet Bowl- If Ira is out. St Joe 20-6

Marian no question 40-0

Indian start the week 9 thread. 

 Jimtown wins easy 35-7

Central- predicted last weeks Penn score going to say Central 17-13

Glenn 40-0 

Marians run defense is stout and their passing game will prove to be too much. 28-14

NP big. Riley couldn't stop Washington. 55-0

Adams.....Iras arm is too strong and Washington allowed Clay to burn them twice for passing TDs. Adams 30 Wash 24. Could be wrong 

Toss up between St. Joe and CMA. Could be the battle of the toilet bowl next week between Adams and St Joe if the both lose Friday.

that game should of been at least 28-7.

They weren't scoring anymore which they didn't in the second half. Besides the 1 obvious pass interference on the Falcons. Laville had 0(?)completions and the Falcons Saftey came done hard and snagged one with one hand in the 2nd series? Glad they stuck to running the ball #10 was getting mauled for 6-8 yard loses when he dropped back.  Hats off to Laville though.  On to week 8...

Glenn getting better every week????  They beat a very undisciplined and sloppy Washington team!!   Not sure what better is in your eyes but I was there and they are not very good!!

Oh come on now. You were on week 6 thread and said how did John Glenn beat Washington and didn't respond till the week 7 thread. NOW your saying you were there make up your mind.  Everyone had Glenn losing to Washington and now that Glenn beat Washington it's oh Washington played sloppy. No Glenn just flat out beat them. Bunch of kids with heart and half the size of most teams on the field on any given day. Who calls cover 3 on the goal line when they are spread out and you have the skill guys to go MAN?? Lol TD...That's how you win by being out coached.
