Seemed like they averaged about 15-16 players per JV game and have cancelled Monday due to lack of numbers. Are they playing V?

I didn't explain myself well in the original post... and I can see why my post was confusing.

In the current cycle, Salem's current JR class was FR when the IHSAA calculated enrollment, at that time the enrollment of that group was huge--- 148. Which was tied for the 2nd largest class in all of 2A, in regards to FR. I am unsure how their current FR/SO classes look enrollment wise. 

Again, my apologies for the amount of omitted details I failed to put in that post.

Womp Womp... Congrats Madison, those kids at the end of that game after the handshake line were PUMPED! Great game plan tonight, Cubs.

Shoutout to Salem as well. 3 and seems like 4 should be expected. A much better Salem team than I thought would be fielded in 2025. I also heard from an assistant coach that they expect several of the kids who went to WW to come back. I won't go into reasons but, seems like that is plausible for next season.

 

Brownstown, NH, Scottsburg, Springs Valley, Paoli, WW... as expected.

Did Salem drop down to 2A? They used to be 3A? Correct?

Yes. They dropped last enrollment

Shoutout to Coach Pennington and the Salem Lions! Picking up steam at the right time! Huge program win last night at the Boneyard. 

Corydon - laid an absolute egg

Silver Creek - 42-0 after the first quarter to a team half your size, yikes. 
 

I really hope Brownstown’s lack of competition doesn’t hurt them post sectional play.

I think Madison studied Salems game film vs Corydon. They took to the edges with numbers and was very effective. I heard Madisons radio guys say "Madison has already eclipsed its season best point total and it's only the first half." That hit me and I was like holy smokes, he is right. They definitely came in with a solid game plan and executed and all props to them for that win.

PLAC tourny breakdown

Mitchell- Sorry. Linton is a tough send off

Crawford- never won a tournament game in thier history. They are good enough to beat Clarksville. Good draw to continue with the good season. Rd 2 will probably be it. 

Perry- Worst season i have ever seen. Just a shocker. Young team but North Daviess looks to be a tall task

West Washington- maybe the hardest to predict. 2 hr and 20 min bus ride to Knightstown. Knightstown scores alot. Throws. Defense is very suspect. I dont think WW scores enough. 

Paoli- will/should beat Pekin. Tough ask to head to Brownstown for a 2nd straight year. 

Springs Valley- good draw for them. I like the fact Forest Park is RD 1. Not great team but not a team thats got 0 hope. SV should advance and will have to travel to Providence on Halloween. Should be a damn good one.

MSC Tourney Breakdown

Brownstown - doesn’t matter who they draw or where they play, easily winning sectional 40.

Salem - Got the best draw possible. If they take care of business they will make the championship game. 
 

Scottsburg - Feels like a good draw, should see them in the championship vs Indian Creek. I like their chances. 
 

Corydon vs NH - Big Cat Classic pt. 2, this is a toss up. Either way, I will take Scottsburg round 2. 
 

Silver Creek vs Charlestown - Battle of 403 pt. 2 - I would expect a similar result from the first time they played. I’m not sure either team gets past Martinsville even in a down year for them.

Bonus Game of the Week

Northview

[SuhMe]

Crawford County @ Clarksville

 

The way Crawford lost to WW makes me hesitant to pick them. I haven’t seen them at all this year but I did see Clarksville both live and on tape. Young Hawkins can be the difference maker, but I think I’m gonna side with Crawford having a slight edge. 

 

Mitchell @ Perry Central 

 

I have no clue how to choose this other than Perry is the home team. Very similar offense and defensive numbers. I think it will be a multi score game from both teams and I’ll just take the home team.

 

North Knox @ Paoli

 

Paoli had a couple losses early in the season to good teams but since has benefitted from an easy schedule. I think they are far and away the second best team in the PLAC but they are not last years Paoli squad. North Knox has 5 losses to solid teams and a couple nice wins too. Every thing analytically tells me to pick NK, but I’m not going to pick against Dittmer this week. I like Paoli to squeak one out here at Cook Field. 

 

Salem @ WW

 

When I looked at Salems schedule to start the season, I figured they would beat Eastern and that’s all. So they have made a believer out of me.  I don’t think it will be an easy win against county rival on the road but I think Salem has won my pick this week. 

 

Springs Valley @ North Daviess 

 

Someone has to take a loss this week. Neither have an overly difficult schedule. I like ND win over Washington and the fact they are home this week. 

 

Brownstown @ Scottsburg 

 

I know BTownQBCoach won’t like my jinx here. But he is a logical guy. The closest this game will be is at kickoff. Brownstown is so much better than Scottsburg. Scottsburg needs this win for a share of the MSC trophy, instead Brownstown will gift them with a running clock. This Braves squad is better than last year and the Warriors, record aside, aren’t playing better than last year. They haven’t beaten a team with a winning record, played close with mediocre teams, and got beat by the only team with a winning record… which got blown out by the Braves earlier this season. 

 

Charlestown @ Eastern

 

Charlestown will have a chance to get their JV in this one late in the game. I respect coach Williams and what he is trying to build at Eastern, but we all know this isn’t their year and Charlestown has some absolute athletes that Eastern won’t be able to contain.

 

Corydon at Silver Creek

 

I’ll start with this. I am not going to pick against Corydon. But logically, if Pap watched the Salem and Madison film, and I’m sure he did, he knows what he needs to do to win this game. Corydon has some very obvious weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball and offensively, with the their QB1 going down, they have some things to iron out. Silver Creek built some confidence with wins over NA and NH, then Brownstown reminded them who was king of the MSC. Does that motivate the Dragons on Senior night or will it have a lasting negative effect. Corydon wins in a tight one. Kick the FG. 

 

North Harrison @ Providence 

 

Early in the year this was a really easy obvious choice. A couple losses in and I wonder if this won’t be a better game than anticipated. I think the Pioneers win either way. 

 

Bonus Game:

Northview @ Linton

 

Another solid Bonus Game selection. I know nothing about Northview. I see they are 4A and have a history of winning seasons. So does Linton and I am not going to pick the Olivers here. I’ll save that for a regional matchup with Brownstown. I imagine it will be a really nice Friday Night Lights matchup and I think both teams offense will be on display, but give me the Duel Headed Dawg of Paul Oliver and Russ Goodman. (Although the Bath kid at NV looks like he is a dude, 1700 yards of offense)

I have thought about this a lot recently. How is it that Corydon played close games and had chances vs both Charlestown and Scottsburg also with the win over NH but get smacked by Salem and Madison?

It’s the offensive play style of their opponents. Those 3 close games vs NH, Scottsburg, and Charlestown you don’t see as much “get to the edge and sprint to the sideline” vs Corydon’s defense. Salem and Madison lived outside overloading and tossing outnumbering and sprinting. Sure Nh overloads but they are still a between the tackles run team. Charlestown has a ton of speed, but they tried to be more balanced throwing it and running a variety of things. Same with Scottsburg. 
 

So based on play style I’m not hopeless with Corydon’s draw. Week 1 will be a tough rematch in Ramsey. Then we will see from there.

Salem loses to WW 21-14. Salem had a lot of penalties and WW made it hard for Salem to run the ball all night.

Last night I was told that Salem and West Washington will not be playing going forward. Is there any truth to that? I'm pretty sure the two didn't play in baseball last year in HS and Jr. High.
