LCC at North Montgomery

[Tippy]

LCC has never played North Montgomery before in football.  North Mont is not that far from Lafayette, but for some reason LCC has never played them.  Let's look at some of the results for North Montgomery this year.

Lebanon 42 NM 0

Western Boone 56 NM 14

Danville 47 NM 14

Tri-West 70 NM 0

OH MY!

If Lafayette Jeff doesn't lay an egg against Kokomo, this will be the 3rd time in history that LCC and Lafayette Jeff have won football sectionals  in the same year. The other years were 2022 and 1989.  In 2022 Jeff beat Crown Point and LCC beat Rochester.  In 1989 Jeff beat Marion and LCC beat Sheridan to win the sectional.  Lafayette Jeff has never won a regional in football before, but Jeff has always been in the largest class until this year.

LCC takes care of business this week, then will face a tougher test against Andrean.  Been looking forward to that game!

In a couple of the last games this season, Guerin and WeBo, LCC has been working on longer sustained drives that eat time and yards.  I've always thought that was one of their weaknesses earlier in the season ... running the one-minute drill on each offensive possession.  As a contrast, they put up 73 plays against Guerin for 22 points vs. 41 plays against Delphi for 63 points.  In the Guerin game, they ran for 151 yards and passed for another 232.  By contrast, against Delphi, they ran for 54 yards and passed for 398.  I haven't seen the stats for the WeBo game, but LCC relied heavily on the ground game in the second half to effectively kill the clock off for two quarters.  In both the Guerin and WeBo games, LCC got in some practice going for it on 4th down and and making it.  This included a 4th and 4 from WeBo's 38 or so with just under two minutes left in the game rather than taking the penalty trying to draw WeBo offsides and then punting it off to pin WeBo against their own goal line with no timeout left.  One of the biggest benefits that LCC's seen for their more sustained offensive drives, despite the opportunity for some post-season diversification, is the defense gets a bit more time to breath and they tend perform better in bend-not-break mode.

I believe that LCC was pretty close to 50-50 in the run/pass yardage category against Webo.

Not sure if NM scoreboard goes to triple digits on the visitors side but they might need it Friday. LCC by 100

10/17/2008. 96-0. Never forget.    

This game could be another.

It won't be 100-0, LCC is playing NM, not Frankfort.  I'm just kidding!  Muda might not believe this, but I think Frankfort will have a good football team again someday.  Some might not remember, but North Montgomery won state in 1995 and 1996.  NM went 13-1 in 1995 and they only beat Frankfort 20-18 that year.  Crawfordsville was the only team to beat NM in 1995.

I think the Bremen/Andrean game will be a very close game.  Bremen could win that game.  Bremen has been playing great, and just took out Rensselaer 38-7
