Lol, it's fun to hit the mark once in awhile. It's really a testament to how good the HCC is. How bout them Millers?

No doubt.  I am taking the “Brownsburg approach” with them for now and keeping them outside of the top 10.

A win over one of the HCC’s “big three” (sorry Fishers, you simply can’t lose to Pike) would go a long way.

Also, for the record when compiling this week’s rankings I took into account the score of the contest when it was cancelled as opposed to treating it as a “no contest.”

Biggest game in some time for them this week.

Anybody have BD 0-3 on their bingo card?

Its possible.

One hundred percent, as you should. You can tell a lot about two teams the way they perform in the first half in my opinion.

My question to you with BD is how they #19 with these 2 losses? Are they going to be in your top 25 if they go to 0-3?

Likely.  Depends on the margin of defeat.

Yikes, wasn't BD #1 in preseason polls about everywhere? Will they bounce back?

Mishawaka made Penn look like 💩

Awful display on both offense and defense. I am not trying to take anything away from how Mishawaka handled Penn, but it felt like the D learned nothing from week 1 and the O just dropped a load in their pants after going down two scores. 

Penn Paper Tigers. We have been exposed far sooner than I thought we would be.

did you not get the memo? we are no longer aboard the merriville hype train

 

Crown point #16 Merriville #47

I really thought Mishawaka would beat Penn, I really think Mishawaka is that good, but I was surprised at the margin of victory. As always, I have great respect for Penn, but I think it will be a couple years before it happens for Penn to assert their dominance

Out of couristyt, what do you expect to see from Penn in a couple years that we haven't seen for the past 10 or 15?

[Komets2727]

I am hopeful that the new head coach will get them going in the right direction. Maybe it is a pipe dream, but Penn has been a great football school for a long time.

Does #47 mean Merrillville have 47 D1 players now?

That is fair, I didn't not expect the Offense to do almost nothing all game. Every time the started to mount a drive they would shoot their foot off and wonder what happened. 

Just disappointing.

More like Pathetic.

Ranking 6A is a challenge. After Brownsburg, 2-6 is a crapshoot, as is 9-13. Snider, Carroll, Fishers, Noblesville, and Lawrence North all worthy of cracking the Top 10, but there can only be two.
