PHJIrish Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 OK, I goofed again. 10-25, Plainfield at Decatur Central 11-1, Terre Haute North vs. winner of game 1 11-1 Terre Haute South at Cathedral 11-8, Championship game ( not able to edit previous post) Quote
PHJIrish Posted October 19, 2019 Author Posted October 19, 2019 Now it's onto the real season, the season where you're playing hardware and rings. Normally I would want Cathedral to play through and not be a bye team but this year they can really use the week off to get healthy. The Plainfield at Decatur Central game leads off this sectional next Friday night and could be a very interesting match-up. Quote
PHJIrish Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Sectional bracket: http://indianahsfootball.homestead.com/files/bracket13.htm#loaded I'm hoping to find a webcast of the Plainfield at Decatur Central game tomorrow night.

Guest Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) All I know is some touted Decatur Central as being a potential underdog in this bracket and they are working Plainfield right now up 35 in the first half in what most thought would be a competitive game... Reason for pause Cathedral/New Pal supporters? Edited October 26, 2019 by Guest Quote
PHJIrish Posted October 26, 2019 Author Posted October 26, 2019 Two late Plainfield TD's has tightened the score. Quote

Sigh, here we go again. That’s why I specified “supporters.” Nothing said on this forum impacts the contest; you know this right? We, as fans, don’t have to commit to the “coach speak.” Quote

Staxawax Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 DC beat a pretty good Plainfield team tonight. The Quakers are pretty much a running team so getting down early takes that ground game out of the equation. Quote

It's the only time I've seen Plainfield this season, but they seemed to have trouble tackling. Decatur Central is a legitimate threat in this sectional. Quote

Reason for pause Cathedral/New Pal supporters? I was not surprised by the result of the Plainfield/Decatur Central game. It was a DC home game and they play very well at home. These are 2 opponents that are very familiar with each other. I do think playing in the first round for Decatur Central was a positive in building momentum and more snaps to sharpen their Offense and Defense. I personally think Decatur Central should cruise past T.H. North this Friday with another home game. I also think having a week off benefits Cathedral in getting any players that might be dinged up healthy. A week 9 game against Center Grove is a tough game, the 1 week rest will likely do some good. T.H. South is the better of the 2 T.H. schools and the Braves will be no slouch. I hope both Cathedral and Decatur Central win Friday night. Always fun to watch the Hawks and Irish play, makes for some great games. Best of luck to both teams. New Pal will have a tough game at Whiteland, but I expect they will come away with a victory (I'll say 2 TD win). The Franklin Seymour game should be good. Franklin is much improved and even though the Owls 4-5 they have been very competitive! I think Sectional 14 has turned out to be a very solid Sectional, but I think the Dragons will come out unscathed to Regional they are a very good football team. Quote

I went a little more generous at 2 TD's, it definitely could be a 4 TD victory for the Dragon's. I guess I went with 2 TD's because with Whiteland running the fly offense they can limit possessions by shortening the game. It was all just a guess. Quote

They pretty much ran a spread. Plainfield really didn't give too much effort to stopping them, or so it seemed. The Quakers have excellent team speed and that's always a big plus at the high school level. 10 hours ago, FridayNightLights said: Don't think so, Cathedral by 21+ Well as an Irish fanboy, I hope you're correct.

We must have differing definitions of “excellent team speed.” Quote

Let me suggest that in the case of Plainfield that they have “excellent “suburban” team speed”. Mileage may vary. 3 Quote
