CIC Week 7

[Indiansreloaded]

Mississinewa at Elwood--Mississinewa finally allowed a score last week but the score came with the 3rd stringers on the field.  Mississinewa will be playing on natural grass for the first time this season at Elwood.  The playing surface may take some quickness away from Mississinewa, but in the end Mississinewa wins big and by however much they want.

Frankton at Alexandria--Alex stopped the 2 game losing streak last week in OT.  This week, Alex won't have much trouble with Frankton.  Alex by 3 TD's.

Eastbrook at Madison-Grant--MG could be a busy parking lot Friday night as the Tennis Sectional Championship game is set for Friday night.  Eastbrook started the season slow but have now won 4 straight.  Eastbrook and MG but want the CIC title and want the Milk Jug from Mississinewa.  This is the game of the week in the CIC.  MG has only beat Eastbrook 3 times ever in Football.  This is going to be a tough game for both teams as neither will bow down easy.  MG wins by 4 in OT.

Oak Hill at Blackford--Oak Hill lost a close one last week in OT.  This week Blackford is thinking big things because they scored against Mississinewa.  In the end Oak Hill is too much for Blackford as win by 2 scores.

 

Side note with Elwood, Alexandria, Blackford, and MG the only schools with natural grass in the CIC, what are the plans for them to switch to turf?  I know MG is going to turf infields for baseball and softball along with new tennis courts but not sure if they are switching to turf football field in the Spring or not.  Anybody know when or if the remaining schools have plans to switch to turf?  I'm sure the upfront cost is the main factor, as it was for the other schools, but Mississinewa was spending $60,000 plus prior to 2017 a year on the grass field between fertilizer, paint for lines, and water plus the cost of mowing and time to line the field weekly.  I'm sure that Oak Hill, Eastbrook, and Frankton were spending the same which led them to switch to turf, with Frankton being the latest school to switch a few years ago.
