Southwestern Indiana Top 10 Power Rankings

[hhpatriot04]

After four weeks, I think we have an adequate sample size...

1. Memorial (4-0)
2. Gibson Southern (3-1)
3. Central (3-1)
4. Heritage Hills (4-0)
5. Mater Dei (3-1)
6. Southridge (4-0)
7. Castle (3-1)
8. North (2-2)
9. Linton (3-1)
10. Jasper (1-3)
HM: North Knox (3-1), Mount Vernon (2-2), North Daviess (4-0), Reitz (1-3)

This was not easy. Spots 1-3 could be interchangable. As could spots 4-7. Outside of the top six or so teams, the big schools are making it hard to assess where everyone stands. Would North Knox really hang in a game with Jasper or Reitz?

I put my neck out there. Your turn... Instead of a new thread each week, let's just keep updating this as the season progresses. Some interesting matchups forthcoming.

Just updated Linton's record. As to whether North Knox can hang, it it possible as their line is pretty good, but I feel like depth and the skill positions would not be that of the larger school.

About time we got this poll, even if two teams records were reported incorrectly!  I think this year, GS may have been able to take on Memorial and get the W.  Toss up i'd say, but I still like the Titans in that matchup.

And from 12-15, GS beat Memorial(they didnt play in 15, but GS would have won), so whats your point?  I'm talking about this year, not the last 10 years.

PROJECT A MATCHUP


neutral field
[2019] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 35, [2019] Gibson Southern (Fort Branch, IN) 21


 

[2017statechamps]

And in that case, lets just put SR ahead of MD....

Oh and SR in front of GS.....

Just giving my opinion that for THIS SEASON, I think GS would beat Memorial.  Guess we will never know and its a shame...

My comment had nothing to do with yours....simply a jab at your boy shakdown who has a 3 year memory.  You might be right about this year.

[2017statechamps]

32, my reply was towards Screagle and shakedown, not you.  They brought up the last 3 years and then posted the calpreps matchup...

It's a shame Memorial had to jump up to 4A this year. lol. Not to jump into Sectional, but It looks like Sectional 32 will come down to the PAC Teams this year.

[2017statechamps]

32 is loaded now, add in Memorial and you have filthy loaded sectional.  Had Memorial not made the jump to 4A this sectional would be the #4, 7, 8, and 10 Sag teams.  Of course if Memorial didn't have to make the jump that means the rules changed and SR would have not jumped to 3A.

Those 12-15 Memorial teams also all had losing records, and had played GS to within one TD for 2/3 years.

3 year memory? I haven’t forgotten that Memorial has gone to LOS 4 out of the last 11 years, how many times has GS made that trip? It’s funny how GS fans are the first to call someone out about having short-term memory, but forget they were irrelevant until 2012.

At least we can agree those Memorial teams weren't great.  And look up Jack Jewell...thanks junior....new material would be awesome.

Love when these topics become about one or two teams.

How about North Knox, Mt. Vernon, Southridge, North, and Reitz?

Nobody would have had NK near this list 4 weeks ago.

MtV replaces Mr. Everything Sam Thomas and looks better.

Southridge loses a great Senior class and one of the best athletes in the state gives up football and they keep rolling along.

What a great Job Coach Paridean is doing at North, those kids and families have clearly bought into his program!!!

Reitz? Reitz!! What is going on on the hill?!

Jack Jewell win percentage-65.65%

John Hurley win percentage-62.5%

Jewell’s win percentage was so high because of the level of competition they played every year.

Jewell and Hart are the only 2 coaches in GS history with winning records.

2012-2015 are over and you can continue to argue about how good those teams were, but they failed to make it to LOS in the middle of Memorial going 4/11 years... thanks senior... new material would be awesome.

[tango]

Thank you Cappy!    I said after we played North that they will cause problems for some teams in the SIAC this year.  They are much improved, tougher, and playing more as a team than in recent years.  Coach P clearly has them buying in to the system.  That is a good thing for the SIAC.  I think they will get MD this Friday.  I think Reitz will get things headed in the right direction by tournament time.  Don't know much about NK, MtV or the Ridge.  Doesn't surprise me that Buening has SR rolling.  I like that guy a lot.

You need to take a much closer look at the Big 8 in the Jewell years....junior.

Noted and corrected. In a toss up game like Southridge and Mater Dei, I think you have to give last year's match up some weight. 

Previously we've included Mount Carmel. I'd list them between North and Linton.

Maybe you can tell us about Jewell. I see his overall record at Gibson Southern but can not find year by year results. I see that he won a share of the 1993 Big 8 championship.  Can not find anything else.

Loosing records but still in the SIAC and are not supposed to loose to the dismal PAC or Big 8. Memotial is in their last year of relivance just as Reitz was last year.
