SJ - Penn not the excitement in year past. Not sure when SJ started a season 05. Marian in contorl of the South Quote
johnny U Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Marian over Bremen- Marian will control their own fate in going for a conference title Concord over Jimtown- by the slimmest of Margins.  Concord highly overrated. Elkhart over Mishawaka-  A must win for  Elkhart to  win the NIC North. New Prairie over Adams- lots of point on the scoreboard for this game. Penn over Saint Joseph- I've never seen such a drop off in talent as has happened at Saint Joseph Riley over Clay-  contracction Washington over Glenn=Chance for Washington to have a winning regular season.       Quote

Last year St Joe did not have a freshman team and Marian does not have one this year. Like everywhere enrollment numbers are down. And I am sure the concussion thing has many parents thinking twice as I have heard that from Dad's who played football. On the same hand the numbers are there but is it developing what you have and making it all come together.   Quote

I know there is word going around on who could go in and pull them to their school. Heard there is even an undecided 8th grader on that team who is a true difference maker. A lot of talk about area teams wanting to get him. With some possible openings coming up in conference there could be some player movement this offseason. Quote

MarshallCounty Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 I am disappointed in losing a game with Marian. It has been an enjoyable short lived series, and was a great measuring stick for Bremen. Quote

CJBCavemen Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Not sure why Mishawaka never gets any respect with the few that post in this thread. No one took the Cavemen against a strong NP team ( many believed MHS would be beat by 3 scores). It was was a great game could have gone either way. Now everyone is on the EC bandwagon and predicting a EC win over the Cavemen. Cavemen by two scores. 35 to 21.  Quote
Indian72 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 If there are 6 teams in a division and all conference games are weeks 5-9 it would make sense to play some crossover non-conference games to fill the schedule Anyone from Jimtown hear what could happen to Jimtown and Concord? The issue is when they try and keep some games after week 3 and can cause havoc with fining teams to play - right now Culver Academy and Benton Harbor could be choices for some schools Quote
johnny U Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 I do know that Saint Joseph and Northridge will no longer play in the 2nd week. Â Saint Joseph has picked up Lakeland. Â Quote

MarshallCounty Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I am just throwing this out there. Would CMA to the NIC South for football only be something that would be worth pursuing? I say that because I would like to see more strength in this division with Marian moving North. Quote
johnny U Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 I think CMA would be a great addition to the NIC south in all sports.  What a basketball conference. CMA, Marian, Riley, and Washington all in the same conference.  The South has dominated all  the NIC in basketball. Quote
