14-0 Brownsburg early on I seen, don’t look like it.

Westfield at Noblesville tonight, keeping an eye on Avon at Brownsburg also. Can't wait for the September 25 game to come along

I liked it a lot, but something about Wagner's having even more of that peppery flavor, and the German beer drafts, have me leaning towards them in the SE Indiana fried chicken trail.

Gotta be St Leon Tavern

Westfield-Carmel was totally full- taking into account Carmel’s top handful of rows being closed off this season- but they had a couple late arrivals that had to sit on visitor side. Great turnout for both student sections, could hear walking by Westfield students had Christmas music going at their tailgate too, great scene overall last night!

I thought live at the game it was Snow, but on clip of play from Twitter it looks like #87 Connor? I could be wrong

Any matchups that stand out for everyone here that'd be worth going to as a neutral in 1A-4A games that first week? Always loved a chance to go somewhere different on opening night with 5A/6A byes. Nothing really caught my eye down South, I got no problem going North for a competitive game.

Interesting, hadn't heard that about Fishers when they opened up. Growing up in Westfield never imagined even a second middle school happening. Can see how a second HS would break things up talent wise, just always thought crosstown games were great to watch in other places as a neutral.

I’ve heard it thrown around some, maybe on here, can’t remember, but outside shot of a third HS for HSE district that’d land somewhere near the Madison County line? think Westfield ever gets to a second school? Superintendent don’t seem against it, remember reading him saying “takes a lot of land etc” but at least in people’s mind around Westfield. Second middle school I know is on the way and yet another elementary.

Perfect scenario comes true. Unless Carroll upsets Crown Point on the road, Westfield (assuming they get by Fishers) will be hosting CP in Semistate

I've always understood it to be the away team's choice, with some coaches not wanting to veer from the routine of a Friday night game, or the alternative, choosing Saturday and not making that long trip after a day of being in school. Especially in recent years in 3A/4A, where Lawrenceburg and East Central have been regularly running into the Gibson Southern and Memorial's of the world, those always ended up on Saturdays. 2021 Lawrenceburg at Gibson Southern still one of the best atmospheres I've seen.

Makes sense, I'm with you, wouldn't be great to have to play out of state majority of the season if it's that far to big Michigan schools. Sounds a lot like the Terre Haute schools in terms of being relatively isolated for the size they are (albeit much better athletics at Penn).

Could Penn find their way into a Michigan conference with similar sized schools like how Mt Carmel IL was in the Big 8 for years? Not sure where closest MHSAA D1 school would be from Granger.

Wasn't me for that one. Still wish they would have gone for 2 and the win after scoring late TD, run game was cruising at that point, getting 2 yards should have been easy money.

No excuses, as a fan it's fun going up there, and if it was a seeded tournament, probably would result that way also, just saying it'd be another tough road game in Semistate as last year. Seems most likely route for the North unless Carroll has something to say about it in the Regional.
